Subject: Subject: How Strong Is Your Marriage?

 

I was talking to my friend Amy Waterman the other day, and we were talking about marriage. She was saying that the single biggest reason couples break up is due to unrealistic expectations and poor communication skills.

I tended to agree. For those of you who don't know Amy Waterman, she is the author of Save My Marriage Today:

http://www.savemymarriagetoday.com/

She showed me the course she has put together on marriage counseling and marriage saving strategies and I was very impressed! I had a good look over Save My Marriage Today and I was relieved that someone has finally come up with a full-inclusion course that covers all the fundamental issues (plus a few unexpected ones) that can jeopardize the love and security of your marriage.

So many couples break up over issues that could have been resolved if they had the right skill set to deal with issues, and knew the correct formula for maintaining healthy communication and worked towards a solution. It's often not a lack of passion or commitment as much as it is an inability to know what to do and where to start saving a marriage. That's where a time-tested marriage saving system really pays dividends.

Amy's style helps couples, both young and old, repair their relationship problems and re ignite the spark that once existed before it is too late. Its quite normal for a marriage to go through cycles, and arguments will happen from time to time. In fact, you should expect them as part of a healthy marriage.

Its how you deal with those arguments and disagreements that dictates the health of your relationship. Amy shows you the appropriate way to raise issues and deal with them in a way that takes into account the feelings of both parties and delivers an outcome that avoids the stress, pain and emotional trauma of marital failure.

She deals with topics such as:

* Tips on how to rescue your marriage

* How to reintroduce passion

* How to repair your marriage after an affair

* Self-assessment

* Gestures that are more important than words

And much more...........

Many people split from their husbands and wives and go through enormous trauma all because they are unable to deal with what started as a simple problem that could easily have been overcome. Using and applying the methods in Save My Marriage Today ultimately could have saved them a lot of heartache, as well as money. Its just crazy!

Amy makes it easy for you by identifying key things that can jeopardize your marriage rescue and shows you how to avoid them. If you are serious about saving your marriage and making your love endure, you should learn all you can about communication, commitment, patience, and beliefs that will make your relationship stronger.

This is not just marriage skills. This is lifeskills that will fix your marriage now as well as set it on the path to a secure and prosperious future.

In addition to this she has included a free email consultation so that customers can discuss their specific problems with her.

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Marriage, like life, is a cycle of ups and downs. It's easy to say your marriage is in good health when the world around you is prospering, but when your fortunes turn and your world is in hardship, how you interact within your marriage can often paint an altogether different picture.

How we feel about those we love can have a huge impact on the health of the relationship, much like a relationship with a friend. We love our friends, but the real test of a friendship
or relationship is when, in times of crisis, we feel let down or disappointed in our loved ones or the outcome achieved.

In many cases, the disappointment you feel is in your perspective of the situation. You set standards of behavior for yourself and set the same high standards for those around you, and are disappointed when they let you down. In taking some meaning from the hurt you feel at being disappointed, a colleague shared the following insight:

"You feel disappointment so keenly because you love people so much"

So is it the same when we feel disappointed or let down by our partners? Do we feel disappointment or hurt so keenly because we put our partners up on such a pedestal and expect them to always get it right?

This was perhaps a little more complicated than I had first anticipated, and it made me wonder whether the fault was on them for not living up to our expectations or standards, or
whether our standards were in fact what was at fault. Is it fair to expect the same level of respect and love that you offer so freely to those that you love?

I tell myself that I must lower my expectations of others and that I will do so in what they expect of me, but the reality is that I seem unable to do so. I think the world of my friends. If I love someone I feel compelled to share this thought with them so that they might know that they are valued, and I constantly live in hope that the same feelings are felt in return.

But in taking a closer look, we realize that this is part of what love is about. Sharing our feelings of connection with others, and letting them know that what they do is valued. We feel a sense of togetherness when we are able to share our feelings with others. Love is also what keeps us coming back for more, keeps us trying to do things better, and helps us to keep trying even when we feel let down.

So how do we let go of the hurt?

Some would say that unconditional love is giving love without the expectation of reciprocation. But it doesn't make it any easier. Part of loving those around you is
knowing that they share the same values as you, and that they will be there to support you when you need it. Knowing that quitting isn't an option, and that the benefit of hanging in there is going to deliver benefits to both of you is what keeps many people going.

Telling your partner about your feelings and expectations is a hard thing to do, and exposes you to a certain amount of vulnerability. There is also the fear that your comments can be taken the wrong way, or that they can be used against you or interpreted as a criticism.

It's not about criticism. It's about helping your partner see why you feel the way you do. It's about helping communicate a part of what makes you tick. It may not be perfect, and it feels scary, but that is one of the most valuable parts of this exercise. In talking to a partner
about your feelings and what leads you to feel these feelings is a valuable part of intimacy.

It's about getting to know each other better.

And realising that loving someone is about loving them even when they let you down.

>>> It's never too late to save your marriage, which is why its imperative that you have the right tools and techniques. If you are serious about saving your marriage, there's no better time than now:

http://YOURCLICKBANKID.savemarria.hop.clickbank.net

Hey {!firstname_fix},

There are numerous reasons why a once committed relationship would degenerate to one partner asking for a divorce. It could have been:

* an affair
* having been separated by a long distance for lengths of time
* conflict
* behavioral issues or psychological problems of one spouse
* midlife crisis
* even unmanaged addictions.

Regardless of the problems seen and experienced on the surface, the bottom line is that usually, barring any abuse or psychological problems that are best handled by a professional, a couple can find themselves in danger of divorce when there is a loss of:

* communication,
* love
* and intimacy

in the marital relationship.

Conflict or anger itself does not have to cause an irreparable rift between partners. With good communication skills and a shared commitment to a marriage, even these are surmountable.

However, at that point where one partner is at the brink of abandoning the relationship, how can the remaining partner save their marriage?

If you are at the point where your spouse has asked for a divorce, what can you do?

You must realize first that, YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE. Often, when confronted by a crisis, we find ourselves backed into a corner thinking we have no choice in the matter.

How can we change the situation when it involves another person's feelings or decisions?

While we cannot, MUST NOT and IN NO WAY manipulate, blackmail or threaten our partner into changing their mind, we can actually control how we react to the situation. If anything, you must realize that you still have control over yourself.

While you may feel your partners actions are the issue here, your reactions to those actions are actually more important.

You have the opportunity to look inward and take responsibility for your own feelings and actions and even have the chance to take personal inventory of what your partner is trying to tell you.

Are there points in your marriage that must be changed? If so, respond appropriately and proactively.

Here's the thing. You can choose to wallow in pain and anger or you can choose to become even more positive and loving towards your spouse. You can choose to blame and shame your partner or you can choose to take stock, be accountable for where your marriage is and
move on towards a more fulfilling, happy you.

Yes, you heard right. YOU can CHOOSE to be fulfilled and happy in the midst of crisis.

Even if your spouse is stubborn and unresponsive, you can still change yourself and become as engaging, positive and proactive as you were when you first fell in love.

Usually, at the struggling stage of a relationship, one or both couples would look back and miss the good old days where it was easy to be together. You can capture those days again - and even add to them with your own current maturity and growth.

After all, you did not spend all those years together to throw what you have away so easily.

You and your spouse have made a huge investment into this partnership and your intention to stay in the marriage through positive loving actions, through open communication and
strengthened commitment, can help your spouse refocus their view on what you once committed to.

Become a loving person again by caring for your spouse in the little everyday things. Be there for him or her when before you may have been too much of a workaholic.

This marriage crisis may be the one thing that raises your awareness of the many gifts your relationship has offered you. Sometimes we don't appreciate things that come to us too easily, or don't appreciate them until they are gone.

By raising your awareness of your marriage crisis, and empowering yourself to stay positive regardless of the many influences threatening to drag you down, fate has offered you the chance to change your perspective.

Let go of the negative. Let go of the fighting. Once you are able to do that, you are ready to start loving.

Set aside intimate time just for your partner alone whereas previously, you may have let the kids take up too much of your time.

Then, when the time comes that you are able to open communication with your spouse and actually sit down and discuss the crisis you're in -ask him or her if he or she realizes just how much effort a divorce could entail?

Does your spouse actually realize that a divorce has emotional, financial, logistical and physical consequences, often stretching out years beyond a divorce?

A divorce brings CHANGE and it is definitely not to be taken lightly. If your spouse wants a divorce, is he or she prepared to embrace this change?

Finally, you also have the option to involve a third party or mediator to help you and your spouse through this situation. If the situation is truly serious then by all means, get help.

This is not the time to let your pride get in the way. A professional counselor, trusted elder or neutral friend can help in putting things into perspective between you and your partner and
may even help unlock deep seated concerns or issues.

For all you know, it may be as simple as your partner wanting more attention or more ways to open up to you.

Hi {!firstname_fix},

When your marriage is in crisis mode, the threat of divorce can seem like a very real proposition. In a few short arguments, what once seemed like the kind of thing that only happened to other couples is a very real outcome for you and your marriage if you can't stem the flow of negativity.

When your marriage is in crisis mode, it's hard to think clear. You may not know why you don't love your spouse as strongly as you used to. You may not know why you can't seem to get along. You may not have an explanation for why you can't agree on things. The worst thing is that on top of all of this, you may not know how to fix it and get back to how things used to be.

There is hope, and it doesn't have to cost you. Save My Marriage Today has released a 6-part mini course that is freely available to anyone in marriage or relationship difficulties that require a much needed helping hand.

http://YOURCLICKBANKID.savemarria.hop.clickbank.net/?type=minicourse

If divorce is on the cards it's not too late to stop it from happening. But you need tips and techniques that are going to stop the negative patterns of behavior immediately, rather than feeding the cycle of behavior that has led to your marriage crisis.

Find out about the top six predictors of divorce, the top six predictors of a long-lasting marriage, what to do if the love is gone, how to avoid growing apart, the dangers of being a workaholic, affairs, 25 relationship killers, how to communicate better, and much more.

Rarely has so much been offered at no cost, which is why if you are serious about saving your marriage you need to sign up to this course. It may be the first step towards a new, more secure, and more loving future together.

I can't believe they are giving this away, but the benefit is yours. Get it now.

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Hollywood has shortchanged us. So have fairy tales, romance novels and the media in general.

Since childhood, we've been fed with a steady diet of romantic fantasy - Boy meets girl, they fall in love, boy and girl ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after.

It's the classic romantic archetype and deep inside, we actually have been conditioned to believe it. We go through life and relationships assuming that if only we just fall in love,
everything will be fine, happy, perfect and passionate all the time.

We will always wake up ready and willing to make love, with fresh
breath, shining hair and unlimited libido. In short, we will be in
a constant honeymoon state..

It's good for a while because such ideas give us a sense of hope and beauty with which to live by in a challenging world. That's fine - for as long as we realize that reality does not always hand everything to us on a silver platter.

Life is a journey of ups and downs, and not exempted from this truth are our relationships.

Hollywood gives us further clues that the honeymoon stage is bound not to last, nor should it. Living amidst intense scrutiny, we see passionate Hollywood couplings burn out even before the ink is dry on the marriage certificate.

And with this burn out, comes divorce. "Irreconcilable differences" is a favorite catch phrase.

If only these couples realize that the "After the Honeymoon" stage is part of the normal course of any relationship, perhaps they could have saved a lot of heartache.

If only we all understand that relationships, like anything in life, have their own progression and phases then we can better equip ourselves to go through and even enjoy these stages as part of our maturing as individuals and as persons-in-relationship.

When you find that your relationship is precisely at this stage: i.e. the initial thrill, the daily love-making marathons, the constant craving has gone - what do you do?

The first thing is actually to understand. Just because the heady feeling has faded does not mean that the relationship is no longer intact.

The commitment partners made, the relationship built - these are bigger than the thrills and understanding this makes for an even deeper and more committed love between two people.

In fact, rather than berate your partner for having let your relationship deteriorate to this state, you should in fact congratulate yourselves.

You have reached a stage of your relationship where the opportunity to develop, strengthen and cement it further opens up new vistas of relating.

At this stage, the rose-colored glasses fall off and you will see your partner for who he or she is, flaws, attributes and all.

At this stage, the opportunity is presented for you to go beyond expectations of perfection in your partner to actually appreciating all the traits that make your partner who he or she is.

As you appreciate your partner, you would find it fair to be appreciated yourself - flaws and all. After all, keeping up the thrill of the honeymoon can turn artificial and exhausting under
most circumstances.

It assumes that you are expected to be perky and accommodating all the time which we're sure is not really who you are on a daily basis. You too have your ups and downs, you too are on a life journey and the sooner you and your partner adjust to these life rhythms, the better.

While this article may extol the positives of facing reality, we are very much aware that this stage is also the stage of conflict.

As you and your partner work out your relationship and adjust to each other, conflict is to be expected. There's no other way around it.

Continuous communication and quality time together propel this along. At this stage, both of you are given the chance to develop deeper, more honest and more open communication with each other.

Both speaking in words and deeds as well as listening are highlighted here. At this stage, oth of you can learn the language of love as well as conflict in your relationship.

These are the tools that will prove you in good stead for the rest of your lives together. With these, you develop the attitudes that will build the love, trust and intimacy to last a lifetime.

Passing through this stage, you may be surprised to discover that instead of diminishing the love and attraction you have for each other, your sexual attraction actually grows.

As you connect deeper with your partner, you become more comfortable in your own skins and even in communicating your sexual needs and desires. You learn to trust each other more emotionally and physically.

Imagine that! You even end up with a much better version of the Hollywood dream.

Whether you're about to embark on a new, fresh relationship or are already struggling "after the honeymoon", don't worry too much.

Open up your mind and heart and know that even when the honeymoon is over, the rest of your lives begin.

Your new, more connected and loving marriage starts today with Save My Marriage Today:

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Any marriage will inevitably face a battery of storms during the course of its life cycle. Some couples may face bigger problems than others, but the one constant in any relationship is a series of tests and trials that will occur over the years and decades.

One way or another, you and your spouse will have to go through your own unique set of conflicts. When it comes to marital problems it's always a question of "when" rather than "if".

For many couples, the root of their difficulties doesn't lie in their actual problems, but in their lack of preparation. Some think that being merely aware that married life isn't perfect will
be enough to help them get past conflicts.

However, foresight is much more than just anticipating the problems
ahead - it also has a lot to do with taking precautions in order to deal with them.

That is why a regular habit of preventive maintenance is important in preserving any investment you make in life. With something as precious and priceless as your marriage, you should be mindful of the things you have to do today in order to strengthen your
foundations on a long-term basis.

Think of your relationship as a tree; reinforcing your roots will make it difficult for any storm to yank it out of the ground.

Specifically, regular dates and rituals are some of the most practical but vital measures you can take to preserve the health of your marriage. Cars break down when they are neglected or miss their scheduled check-ups.

That's basically what life is all about: constant maintenance that keeps everything in good working order. A little tweak here and a minor adjustment there go a long way in keeping your relationship from going off-course.

When you make the conscious effort to clear a chunk of your time for your spouse, it signifies that it's in your interest to keep each other happy. Not only that, every date you keep or ritual that you habitually observe are small but infinitely powerful affirmations that you want to stay with your partner for better or worse.

Whenever you make the effort to leave the kids with your parents during Friday night movie date, you are also renewing the vows you made at the altar.

As an aside, I would like to point out that while rituals and dates should be part of your marriage, there is a distinction between them. Rituals are habits or practices that should be little reminders of your love for one another.

They can be something as simple as passing by the bookstore where you first met, or choosing to sit in a certain section of the movie theater where you had your first kiss.

Dates also serve the same general purpose, but these are social functions done outside of the house. You can do those special rituals as part of your date, or separately for certain occasions. The important thing is that both things are done on a regular basis.

Another significant reason behind dates and rituals is that they keep the emotional connection alive by constantly creating and updating an exclusive pool of shared experiences.

After all, there should be some compartment of your marriage that's reserved for only the both of you. It is this private feeling for one another which serves as your foundation and must be preserved at all costs.

A lot of busy couples make the excuse of ignoring these things, thinking that they can put if off for another time. When it's a marriage we're talking about, what you take for granted today can be whisked away tomorrow.

It's very unhealthy to assume that things will stay the way you want to without making enough effort to keep it as such. Keeping a regular schedule for dates (and any rituals found within) should be part of your regimen to keep your relationship fit.

Here's another way of looking at it: not investing enough time in your marriage puts that sense of intimacy at great risk. Often called by many as the "spark", the emotional closeness you have with your spouse will keep you from falling apart when you run into problems.

It doesn't take a relationship expert to realize that you need to drop everything once in a while and enjoy each other's company to keep yourselves from being miserable.

Marriage is work, but all work and no play makes for a very dull marriage. Once that dullness sets in, it can cultivate an atmosphere of coldness and detachment. I don't have to tell you
that those are two very ideal factors for cheating.

In a nutshell, it is always in peoples' nature to seek something that they feel are lacking in their lives. In the case of an estranged spouse, he/she may choose to capture that "falling in
love" feeling with another person that they are superficially attracted to.

Simply put, any partner needs to have the feeling of being loved and validated by their spouse. Without it, they could very well go off chasing after someone else to satisfy that basic necessity lacking in their marriage.

This is one of the biggest reasons why people cheat on theirspouse. If they can't get enough happiness from their current relationship, a "starved" partner might justify running off with
another person to satisfy their needs.

In short, going on dates and observing couple rituals keeps you focused on each other, and not on people outside the marriage. These things allow you to remember why you fell in love with each other in the first place.

Essentially, you are preventing a gap to grow between you both, lest that void be filled by someone else. It's important to remember that it's way easier to prevent a problem from getting out of had rather than fixing the damage resulting from negligence.

In today's troubled economic times however, both spouses need to work just to make ends meet. As such, couples have to sacrifice their "we time" in order to pay the bills.

Yet you should bear in mind that the marriage you are trying to sustain needs more than just financial support. The emotional and romantic aspect of your relationship needs attention, too. Therefore, all couples must make time to reconnect with one another. Whether it's on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis, you should make the effort to squeeze in some couple time.

Of course, every marriage has a different set of circumstances, so you'll need to work out a customized date schedule to suit your situation. Do try to sit down and discuss this with your spouse so that both of you can agree upon which specific day(s) of the month are just for the two of you.

As for the dates themselves, they should go by a few general guidelines to make them effective. First of all, they need to be meaningful to you both. Whatever activity or outing you have in mind, they have to appeal to you emotionally.

I suggest that your dates should be a sort of reminder of your early days as a couple. This allows you both to remember the things that brought you together in the first place. For instance, if you first met on the dance floor, then you can go back to those times by setting a fortnightly or monthly ballroom date.

As we mentioned before, these have to be out of the house if you can manage it. Making the effort to dress up and go out will stimulate you into going through the motions of keeping your love alive.

While you can have rituals like vegging out in front of the TV and having a snack before turning in for the night, there also has to be an evident commitment to make time for each other at an outside venue. It can be a weekly trip to the planetarium, or a nice coffee date where you first met.

Whatever it is, your dates are best done at a special place aside from home.

Although there aren't any hard and fast rules set in stone regarding the length of your dates, they do have to be long enough to allow you a nice conversation or the opportunity to renew your intimate connection.

To give you an idea, why don't you try taking up a sport, or get back into doing some of the hobbies or interests that you enjoyed before you met? Physical activity is a great way to diffuse tension brewing at home and relieve the strain on your marriage.

Try engaging in sports that will either allow you to compete against each other or cooperate against other opponents. Generally, a minimum of one to two hours seems to work for many
couples.

Another suggestion we have is for you to take part in some community work or any activity with a social cause. If both of you would be inclined to do so, this is a great way for you reconnect in a way that also benefits people and organizations who need all the help that they can get.

For example, volunteering to read books to the elderly or sick, help out at your local food shelter, or a fundraising community group, will help you bond and make you think of the things that you might be taking for granted as a couple.

The bottom line is that your dates should have no creative limits; as long as they can help you renew your connection in a tension-free setting, then you are doing the right thing for your marriage.

Life-threatening emergencies notwithstanding, the important thing is that you make a solid promise to one another to keep your regular dates and rituals etched into your respective calendars.

Even in your weakest or most trying moments, those dating rituals and dates may be the one thing that sustains you and saves your marriage.

And don't forget, if you want more advice that is going to change not only your marriage, but the way you live the rest of your life, you must check out Save My Marriage Today.

http://YOURCLICKBANKID.savemarria.hop.clickbank.net

Hi {!firstname_fix},

No one is saying that your marriage isn't difficult. It might even be miserable. But an interesting set of statistics shows that people who take divorce off the table as an option not only resolve their issues, but end up being happier than ever.

If your marriage is feeling troubled, and you're considering divorce, consider trying alternate therapies instead, marriage counseling, or just some open communication. But whatever you do, don't bring up the "D" word as an option, because doing that will change the rules of the game.

Now, of course it's important to acknowledge that there are a lot of influences on you to get a divorce. Your friends who don't like your spouse, legal advertisements, even popular culture. It's a common statistic that most marriages end in divorce, and so it seems like an acceptable, even normal way to resolve problems in a marriage.

But let's look at some statistics. Of all the couples surveyed who were contemplating divorce and then decided not to go through with it, 80% claimed to be happily married only five years later. In all likelihood this is due to two elements.

The first is that those couples who decide not to consider divorce, the only remaining option is to deal with the problems experienced in the marriage head-on. This is a powerful and proactive tactic that will lead to acknowledgement of the problems the couples face, and maybe even to solutions.

The other element is that once divorce is considered, the dynamic of the relationship is changed. This is a more subtle, though far more destructive product of considering divorce. The dynamic of this is simple. When a fundamental disagreement develops in a marriage - as it will in almost all relationships - those who never consider divorce are forced to deal with the disagreement.

Those who do consider divorce preserve an "out" that can be used without ever addressing the issue. As the problems in the marriage mount, or the fundamental issues become more divisive, the easy out of divorce can become more and more appealing.

This thinking will take both of you, however. When both people in a marriage are actively searching for a solution to a problem, and both accept that divorce is not - and will not be - an option, a solution will almost surely be found. You and your spouse will be asking what you can do to make things better, rather than asking if it's worth it, or if you should cut your losses and run.

Remove divorce as an option and endeavor to go into relationship counseling, therapy of some kind, or just talk about your problems in a mature and open way. To many it may seem the more difficult option, but considering the long-term impacts of divorce on your life, finances, and family, committing to finding ways through the pain and communicating your way towards a solution seems immediately more attractive!

It seems simplistic, but statistically it also seems to work. Those who deny divorce as a viable end to a committed marriage will also be more motivated to work on that marriage, and work through the problems that could, without communication and understanding, put an end to something that was supposed to be a lifetime commitment and bond.

Divorce is never the end of your probems. In most cases, it's only the beginning of a whole new set of problems to face. If you want a solution that not only helps you grow as a person, but also fosters a healthier and more stable relationship, make sure you visit Save My Marriage Today:

Hi {!firstname_fix},

A good marriage can be built only by constant attention and effort. It evolves, changes, and develops slowly over a period of time. It does not develop overnight. The same applies to a good career.

A healthy relationship is about balancing the attention you offer your spouse and your career. You have to effectively divide your time and attention between your marriage and career if you want to succeed in both, and the amount of time you offer each is governed by the circumstances of your marriage as well as your marital and individual goals. It's not always an easy thing to do! Managing a successful career and a marriage and family is a skill that calls couples to make judgments that don't always work. In one corner you need to spend a large amount of time and effort in the workplace to advance and increase your salary and lifestyle, and in the other corner you need to spend the necessary time at home cultivating the relationship and fulfilling both yours and your partner's needs.

This is where problems begin. How much time do you devote to your career? How much time do you devote to the marriage? Sometimes it feels as though you are being pulled both ways. Many cannot manage both and sometimes they even lose both. Too much time either way comes at the expense of the other.

It doesn't have to be this way. If your communication is clear and you plan properly, you can have it all.

These days companies expect more and more from their employees. You are expected to work beyond your regular hours that may add up to fifty or seventy hours a week. If you want to climb the career ladder you have to be seen to be putting the hours in. In addition to this, the demands on your income may be greater at an early stage in the marriage. A wife, young children, childcare, schooling, rent or a mortgage, all of these things place a large strain on the family income. You have to keep the job in order to not just earn a living for yourself but to support your family.

Being an executive doubles or triples your burden. In fact, the demands are greater and the stress is higher. You may be expected to oversee projects, meet deadlines, do project reports, give presentations, etc. You may spend an increasing amount of time everyday at your office to get all this done. How will this affect your marriage?

With the increasing demands on income, it's increasingly common to see both partners working long hours, and this can have a detrimental effect on the relationship. The perception is that you are all working hard to have a better life, but the cost of working long hours is that there is less time to have a life!

Career advancement, workplace pressure, two-income families, shift work, all of these are factors that can place pressure on marriages. But if you are able to play it smart like some couples, you can have a successful career and a stable marriage. All it requires is communication and balance.

There are couples that successfully manage their careers and their marriages. Since both partners are busy during weekdays, they make it a point to plan a specific date night each week so that they can spend some quality time together. With this kind of an arrangement, you may look forward to the date night and focus little on the days your spouse is not available.

Some couples come to an understanding by setting some ground rules. You may set your schedule to work late nights two or three days in a week. You may negotiate with your office if you are on a traveling job and limit your travel to two or three trips per month. You may schedule to take some of your leave in small increments so you can have long weekends away together every few months.

The key to a successful marriage is in having clear communication. Sit down with your partner. Make a budget. Talk about what you need to do to pay the bills. Talk about what is expected of you in your job. Talk about how your job is important when it comes to paying the bills and funding your lifestyle. Talk frankly with each other about what is necessary for you to reach your goals as a couple. Be clear about what your goals are.

Too many people believe if they work harder and earn more money the marriage will get better. It's simply not true. Work to live, not live to work. While it is great to have career goals and individual goals, they need to be congruent with your marital goals. Talking and communicating with your partner is the key to achieving balance, having the resources you need to live, and the time available to enjoy it.

Communicate, negotiate, and find balance.

Hey {!firstname_fix},

Historically, relationships and marriages were formed for different reasons, some being to form alliances between two families or to ensure successors. Young couples entered relationships because they were headed for marriage and to do otherwise was "living in sin".

Moreover, many cultures have promoted marriage as the only venue for having children recognized by society, culture, civil and religious laws. Simply, people got married (or committed to one another in different types of cultural arrangements) to have children and to provide these offspring with a stable home environment.

These days, that perspective has radically changed. People are having fewer children. More and more couples are living together without marriage. Statistically, a study shows that 70% of Americans believe that marriage has purposes other than that of creating and nurturing children.

What's more, even the presence of children does not guarantee that a couple will stay together, unlike 40-50 years ago when our parents and grandparents believed that children were enough reason to stay in a marriage.

In the past, many entered in to relationships or marriage to ensure financial security. In our grandparents' time, the woman was usually dependent on the man, hence, she had more reason to stay with her husband.

In later years, couples touted the benefit of having two incomes where one income can be a fallback when one partner loses a job or becomes ill.

Today, young men and women want to strive for financial success independently before considering marriage. This means that financial reasons are no longer reason enough to stay in a marriage or enter a long term relationship.

Today, the stigma over divorce and being single has been reduced significantly. Concepts such as cohabitation, dating and extended "singleness" have provided people with alternatives to their states in life.

As a result, we marry later or not marry at all.

The idea that a first marriage is usually a trial marriage that will end in divorce is also quite prevalent among young people, further diminishing the value of marriage into something that is temporary rather than for life.

Why then would couples want to commit to one another long-term or marry, and stay together, if not children, religion, social norms or financial security?

In 2001, the National Marriage Project conducted a study that included questions on why people want to marry or enter into long term commitment. Their study reveals that young men and women want to be with someone who they have a profound spiritual and emotional
connection to, meaning a "soul mate".

This means that the main focus is the relationship itself. Finances, religion and social expectations minimally, if at all, enter into the equation.

The problem with this idea is that it can place too much expectation on each partner and on the relationship itself.

Individuals who enter into relationships with this belief may expect that everything will be perfect all the time. As a result, they will be unable to cope with real issues and problems such as routine, complacency, conflict, unhappiness or financial difficulty.

True enough, many couples today are divorcing or permanently separating claiming feelings of dissatisfaction, disillusionment, distress and unhappiness as primary reasons for shifting out.

People expect that their partner and their relationship will always make them happy and are shocked when things don't go according to plan.

What couples need to understand is that relationships are not always happy. Like anything in our world, change is a constant. People change and the dynamic of relationships change along with them. If only more individuals confront this reality early on, they may be spared from future heartache and disillusionment.

Couples need to understand that nothing is perfect and they will need to weather bad times along with the good. Marriage and long-term relationships are lifelong processes of stagnation, renewal, birth, death, life and loss.

Each couple must be aware that these things happen and they need to see and appreciate the relationship for what it is, and not what it's not.

Accepting the good as well as the bad shows the couple that things get better and all they need to do is to get through the difficult periods. Staying together through good times and bad requires patience, communication, willingness and yes, love!

How can a couple then work out their commitment to one another amid the many concrete challenges of everyday life?

With so many obligations such as work, children, friends, family, hobbies, projects, home and the like, it is no wonder that many couples complain that they don't have enough time for each other. How can a couple balance their commitment to the other aspects of their individual lives with their relationship?

Communicating with your partner is key. You can try a drawing exercise to map out the various aspects that require your commitment. A pie chart would do nicely. Next, share with your partner and plan out how your personal commitments fit into the big picture of your relationship. Plan out your priorities and agree to the order of your commitments.

For a relationship to be successful, a couple needs to understand that commitment is more than a feeling, it's a decision. Each day, you and your partner decide what needs to come first. In many cases, it's the relationship. In other serious matters like illness or death in your immediate families, a couples commitment is tested by how well they can support one another and face a particular difficulty together.

What's important is that each one maintains a higher level of awareness and constantly asks himself or herself whether a particular pursuit will be beneficial for the relationship and how
can the couple, together, manage big and small obligations in their individual lives as well as in their marriage or relationship.

Hi {!firstname_fix},

It can be quite frustrating when your partner does not want to communicate with you, especially in a relationship or marriage crisis. You may be feeling quite powerless and hopeless as well. All the more is it doubly frustrating when there is communication
but a total lack of cooperation from your partner or when your declarations of love or requests for discussion are met with rejection and disdain.

Wanting to save your marriage is one thing; your partner's willingness to meet you halfway is another. And, sometimes, you feel as if you are all alone in wanting to save your relationship.
It can be quite overwhelming, surely, feeling as if every effort you make will not be enough.

At this point, any help is a welcome relief. It will certainly be helpful to have a listening ear or caring friend who you can trust to give you sound advice.

In many situations, there is one piece of advice that we believe can make a difference: YOU have the power.

While you cannot control the actions of others, you still have your reactions within your grasp. For many, these words can spell the difference between allowing a crisis to overwhelm them, or finding the strength to march forward towards hope.

You have a great responsibility towards yourself - that of allowing yourself to always behave in a dignified and objective manner. Think of it this way. How have your past feelings and behavior influenced your present relationship crisis?

Have you been angry or resentful towards your partner, even if they were the one who was "at fault"? How have you reacted to their actions or lack of affection towards you?

Do you blame your partner for what is happening to you right now? Have you said to yourself "They just make me lose my temper" or "You make me feel rejected"?

Statements like these imply that it is your partner who is causing you to feel all these things, which. The reality is that, actually, your feelings are within your control.

Nobody can make you feel angry or sad or depressed unless you allow them to. At a certain point, you have chosen to feel the negative things you are feeling. You gave yourself permission to be furious or jealous or hurt. You have allowed feelings of inadequacy,
incompleteness or incompetence to get the better of you.

Your partner's words and actions may have affected you deeply but, ultimately, you can choose how you feel and react to what they say or do. More importantly, you can choose not to let the negativity of a bad response wash over you, which may push you to actions or
words you may later regret. The reaction you choose is within your control.

I am not saying that it is wrong to feel what you feel. On the contrary, you wouldn't be a warm, loving human person if you were not capable of being hurt or feeling pain. However, you can also determine the actions you take as a result of those feelings, or even how you allow them to affect you.

Instead of lashing out when your partner says or does something hurtful, take a step back. Even if you feel that you are being taken advantage of, resist the temptation to wound your partner in the way they have wounded you. Take into account that your partner has his or her own reasons for behaving the way they do. It's highly possible that they're hurt too or feel ashamed and want to make you feel just as wretched as they do.

Whatever it is, there is a reason behind their behavior. Consider your partner's motivation. Once you have an insight into their behavior, what is the best way that you can react? Do you want to feed the negativity or help extinguish it in favor of a more positive outcome? Will your reaction save your relationship?

Understanding your partner does not mean that you excuse their behavior, especially if it is truly hurtful and unjust. You don't have to agree with what he or she is doing. However, what's important is that you realize your reactions can make or break the situation.

Over and above, remember to love your partner. What can you do that can save your relationship? What is your relationship calling you to learn about yourself and love? You can be honest with your partner - tell him that while you are hurt by their behavior and do not agree with it, you still love them and want to be with them. This way, you are making a choice to love your partner unconditionally.

Even if your partner is resistant, at the very least you have reacted positively to a negative situation and focused on doing something constructive. Remember, the key to your positive reaction is not in waiting for your partner to apologize. It's about setting standards of behavior and developing a heightened sense of self-awareness in the way you interact with others.

Understanding just how powerful your reactions can be is a first step towards rebuilding trust and love in your broken relationship. This is an insight that few people come across and are able to adapt.

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Do you often feel like you are in a crowded room but feel all alone? Does it seem as though your relationship is slipping away from you, yet the more you do to save it the worse it gets?

Sometimes it seems as though the more you want something, the more you are pushing it away! But it doesn't have to be that way.

You know by now that the course of action you have taken thus far hasn't worked. You may have tried a variety of different methods to save your relationship, based on the recommendation of friends, family, and well-meaning acquaintances. While well-meaning, many of the approaches you may have taken could have done more damage to your chances of success.

This cycle of trial and error can't go on indefinitely. Sooner or later one of you is going to lose patience and walk away from the relationship, so it's really important that you get it right this time.

That's where Rachel Rider can help. My friend Rachel is the author of the landmark course, "Relationship Recovery - A New Way To Save Your Relationship." Trust me, if anyone understands relationships and the intricate balance of interaction that takes place within it, it's Rachel. She has made it her life's work to understand how and why people react the way they do, especially with the ones they love.

http://www.meetyoursweet.com?aff=YOURYOURID&pg=relrecovn

Her research has been relentless, and she has shovelled through all the trial-and-error advice of the so-called experts and pared it down to a system of actions and reactions that really cut to the heart of what it takes to achieve a successful relationship.

It doesn't matter if you are in a recent relationship or if you have been together many years. This is stuff that's forever going to change the way you think about how you love and interact with one another. It's more than just relationship-saving advice. This is life skills you will take with you for the rest of your life!

Many people think it takes a minimum of 10 or 12 sessions with a counselor to achieve any real lasting results in your relationship. But who can really afford that many sessions with a counselor, costing upwards of 100-200 an hour? Wouldn't it be easier if you had the concepts and secrets to saving your relationship all in one place that you can learn, digest, and apply in the comfort of your own home?

That's exactly what Rachel has set out to achieve with her course, and with her current super-low pricing, it has never been more affordable!

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Any marriage will inevitably face a battery of storms during the course of its life cycle. Some couples may face bigger problems than others, but the one constant in any relationship is a series of tests and trials that will occur over the years and decades.

One way or another, you and your spouse will have to go through your own unique set of conflicts. When it comes to marital problems it's always a question of "when" rather than "if".

For many couples, the root of their difficulties doesn't lie in their actual problems, but in their lack of preparation. Some think that being merely aware that married life isn't perfect will
be enough to help them get past conflicts.

However, foresight is much more than just anticipating the problems ahead - it also has a lot to do with taking precautions in order to deal with them.

That is why a regular habit of preventive maintenance is important in preserving any investment you make in life. With something as precious and priceless as your marriage, you should be mindful of the things you have to do today in order to strengthen your foundations on a long-term basis.

Think of your relationship as a tree; reinforcing your roots will make it difficult for any storm to yank it out of the ground.

Specifically, regular dates and rituals are some of the most practical but vital measures you can take to preserve the health of your marriage. Cars break down when they are neglected or miss their scheduled check-ups.

That's basically what life is all about: constant maintenance that keeps everything in good working order. A little tweak here and a minor adjustment there go a long way in keeping your relationship from going off-course.

When you make the conscious effort to clear a chunk of your time for your spouse, it signifies that it's in your interest to keep each other happy. Not only that, every date you keep or ritual that you habitually observe are small but infinitely powerful affirmations that you want to stay with your partner for better or worse.

Whenever you make the effort to leave the kids with your parents
during Friday night movie date, you are also renewing the vows you
made at the altar.

As an aside, I would like to point out that while rituals and dates should be part of your marriage, there is a distinction between them. Rituals are habits or practices that should be little reminders of your love for one another.

They can be something as simple as passing by the bookstore where you first met, or choosing to sit in a certain section of the movie theater where you had your first kiss.

Dates also serve the same general purpose, but these are social functions done outside of the house. You can do those special rituals as part of your date, or separately for certain occasions. The important thing is that both things are done on a regular basis.

Another significant reason behind dates and rituals is that they keep the emotional connection alive by constantly creating and updating an exclusive pool of shared experiences.

After all, there should be some compartment of your marriage that's reserved for only the both of you. It is this private feeling for one another which serves as your foundation and must be preserved at all costs.

A lot of busy couples make the excuse of ignoring these things, thinking that they can put if off for another time. When it's a marriage we're talking about, what you take for granted today can be whisked away tomorrow.

It's very unhealthy to assume that things will stay the way you want to without making enough effort to keep it as such. Keeping a regular schedule for dates (and any rituals found within) should be part of your regimen to keep your relationship fit.

Here's another way of looking at it: not investing enough time in your marriage puts that sense of intimacy at great risk. Often called by many as the "spark", the emotional closeness you have with your spouse will keep you from falling apart when you run into
problems.

It doesn't take a relationship expert to realize that you need to drop everything once in a while and enjoy each other's company to keep yourselves from being miserable.

Marriage is work, but all work and no play makes for a very dull marriage. Once that dullness sets in, it can cultivate an atmosphere of coldness and detachment. I don't have to tell you
that those are two very ideal factors for cheating.

In a nutshell, it is always in peoples' nature to seek something that they feel are lacking in their lives. In the case of an estranged spouse, he/she may choose to capture that "falling in
love" feeling with another person that they are superficially attracted to.

Simply put, any partner needs to have the feeling of being loved and validated by their spouse. Without it, they could very well go off chasing after someone else to satisfy that basic necessity lacking in their marriage.

This is one of the biggest reasons why people cheat on their spouse. If they can't get enough happiness from their current relationship, a "starved" partner might justify running off with
another person to satisfy their needs.

In short, going on dates and observing couple rituals keeps you focused on each other, and not on people outside the marriage. These things allow you to remember why you fell in love with each other in the first place.

Essentially, you are preventing a gap to grow between you both, lest that void be filled by someone else. It's important to remember that it's way easier to prevent a problem from getting out of had rather than fixing the damage resulting from negligence.

In today's troubled economic times however, both spouses need to work just to make ends meet. As such, couples have to sacrifice their "we time" in order to pay the bills.

Yet you should bear in mind that the marriage you are trying to sustain needs more than just financial support. The emotional and romantic aspect of your relationship needs attention, too. Therefore, all couples must make time to reconnect with one another. Whether it's on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis, you should make the effort to squeeze in some couple time.

Of course, every marriage has a different set of circumstances, so you'll need to work out a customized date schedule to suit your situation. Do try to sit down and discuss this with your spouse so that both of you can agree upon which specific day(s) of the month are just for the two of you.

As for the dates themselves, they should go by a few general guidelines to make them effective. First of all, they need to be meaningful to you both. Whatever activity or outing you have in mind, they have to appeal to you emotionally.

I suggest that your dates should be a sort of reminder of your early days as a couple. This allows you both to remember the things that brought you together in the first place. For instance, if you first met on the dance floor, then you can go back to those times by setting a fortnightly or monthly ballroom date.

As we mentioned before, these have to be out of the house if you can manage it. Making the effort to dress up and go out will stimulate you into going through the motions of keeping your love alive.

While you can have rituals like vegging out in front of the TV and having a snack before turning in for the night, there also has to be an evident commitment to make time for each other at an outside
venue. It can be a weekly trip to the planetarium, or a nice coffee date where you first met.

Whatever it is, your dates are best done at a special place aside from home.

Although there aren't any hard and fast rules set in stone regarding the length of your dates, they do have to be long enough
to allow you a nice conversation or the opportunity to renew your intimate connection.

To give you an idea, why don't you try taking up a sport, or get back into doing some of the hobbies or interests that you enjoyed before you met? Physical activity is a great way to diffuse tension brewing at home and relieve the strain on your marriage.

Try engaging in sports that will either allow you to compete against each other or cooperate against other opponents. Generally, a minimum of one to two hours seems to work for many
couples.

Another suggestion we have is for you to take part in some community work or any activity with a social cause. If both of you would be inclined to do so, this is a great way for you reconnect in a way that also benefits people and organizations who need all
the help that they can get.

For example, volunteering to read books to the elderly or sick, help out at your local food shelter, or a fundraising community group, will help you bond and make you think of the things that you might be taking for granted as a couple.

The bottom line is that your dates should have no creative limits; as long as they can help you renew your connection in a tension-free setting, then you are doing the right thing for your marriage.

Life-threatening emergencies notwithstanding, the important thing is that you make a solid promise to one another to keep your regular dates and rituals etched into your respective calendars.

Even in your weakest or most trying moments, those dating rituals and dates may be the one thing that sustains you and saves your marriage.

Subject: Save Marriage Secrets with Save My Marriage Today

 

Hi there,

I get the opportunity to review a lot of products that come across my desk, so its easy to lose interest in a lot of what I see. That was, until recently when I met Amy Waterman. Amy, online author of Save My Marriage Today Asked me to have a look over her course and tell her what I thought. At first I was skeptical, but I thought, hey, I have friends who are in bad marriages, and this information might be good for one of them, so I decided to read it closely and see what insights it could offer me about reconnecting and improving relationships.

You can check it out at http://www.savemymarriagetoday.com

By the time I had finished, I was hooked! I realized for the first time, that this book would be absolutely essential for couples who are serious about solving their marital difficulties, and I don’t just mean young couples either. This book applies to couples young and old. No matter what your marriage situation, if you are male or female, or how many years you have been married, there are tips and tools that can assist every couple with developing sound communication and conflict resolution techniques.

Everybody knows someone who is in a difficult or failing marriage, or it may even be you.....

Nobody said marriage was ever going to be easy, and if they did, they were lying. It’s perfectly normal in a marriage to have disagreements and times when things involve a little more effort than they used to. In an ideal world we would sit and talk about these changes and differences in a calm and rational manner, and establish an outcome and move on. Unfortunately things don't always work like that. Its all too easy to get caught up in the moment and let things deteriorate to the point where you are both wondering why you are still in it.

Amy has developed a course that encourages couples to break the ice and develop ways to interact and strengthen their failing relationship. She deals with topics such as:

Tips on how to rescue your marriage

How to reintroduce passion

How to repair your marriage after an affair

Self assessment

Gestures that are more important than words

And much, much more....

My first impression of the course was how well laid out it is, in neat, graphically designed ebooks. This is someone who takes their craft seriously and I am immediately confident that I have purchased a professional course that takes both me and my marriage seriously.

I was also pretty impressed with the content, not only with the theory but the accompanying exercises at the end of many chapters that helped cement the concepts and apply it to real life marriages.

The other thing that impressed me is the sheer volume of information, both in the two main Save My Marriage Today ebooks, but also the accompanying bonus ebooks as well. In total it is one of the most comprehensive marriage saving courses I have seen assembled!

Over 2 million couples divorce every year, and many of those could have been avoided if those couples communicated and applied the techniques that Amy shows us in her life-changing course. She can’t work miracles and save every marriage, but if you are serious about resurrecting the love you once had for your partner and saving your marriage, you should maximize your chances and read and apply the relationship advice that Amy has to offer.

Amy is able to identify where you have been going wrong, and shows you how to avoid those crucial mistakes that actually jeopardize your chances of saving your failing marriage.

In addition to this she has included a free email consultation so that customers can discuss any specific problems or further clarification that the course doesn't already cover.

I really do believe Amy is onto a good thing here, and she really can help you save your marriage!

The techniques she reveals are thought provoking and have been proven over and over to help save marriages. I was very impressed when I finished reading this material and have recommended it to everyone I know.

But don't take my word for it, see for yourself! Take a look at:
