Saving Your Marriage May Be About Making Small Changes – Reading This Can Possibly Help You - By: Tony Darbyshire

Is saving your marriage really dependant on trivial things that we don't even seem to care about very much, if at all? The short answer is ‘YES!' It is often about taking care of the little things that can weigh heavily in your marriage, or partnership.

It’s also about focusing more on your own attitude towards your partner so you don’t get smug and self-righteous too. Eventually, when you've been around someone you've got to know well over time, then complacency can often set in, usually without any real conscious awareness of it. So work on being consciously aware and do your best not to damage what you have through inattentive carelessness. Eventually paying attention to the small stuff will become a natural state for you, in the same way that the skills of driving a car become innate in good drivers, so they don’t have to think about driving their car consciously.

Let’s look at a seemingly small thing that can possibly slip and spoil to your relationship with each other. Let's begin with your apprearance. This ‘appearance’ thing embodies so many areas and can be about what you wear, freshness and cleanliness, tidiness, even getting dressed rather than sitting around all day in your dressing gown perhaps. There are days when you will want to chill and not be fussed about even getting dressed, you just 'can't be bothered' - which is fine, but maybe shorts and a tee shirt is preferable to sitting around in your dressing gown.

When you know somebody well, it’s easy to become very casual about your appearance. If you're than man you may feel that not shaving and having stubble is acceptable to your partner, but ask yourself: “Is this okay with my spouse?” Better still, ask her! If it alright with her, then that's okay. If it isn't and she has a preference for you either having a full beard, or a shaved face, then do something about it and pay heed to your spouse's feelings.

As for the lady... does your partner mind you sitting around with your hair being curled by those plastic things, for hours on end? Maybe he doesn't, maybe he does, but why not ask him? Asking only takes a few seconds but knowing he is okay with you, in a less than presentable state, will at least give you an idea what to do about it. I should add that ‘stubble' and ‘curlers' are just metaphors for lots of other seemingly trivial things to do with your appearance, so they just on a long list of examples!

Take more care with your appearance if you can - too often well-established married couples stop feeling the need to look good for their partner. Don't be self-conscious, but do not take an uninterested attitude towards your appearance. And remember, if you don't care what you look like, your partner may find it difficult to care about it as well.

There are so many other ‘attitudes’ to be conscious of too. Try working on being more romantic. Try being more demonstrative, in showing affection or appreciation, and take more care to be gentle and playful. If you behave in a more loving way and show you really do care then it may turn a tide for you. So add, ‘I must be more caring’ to your list too. If you’re already doing that then put your thinking cap on and try to find out what the things are that are souring your marriage, or partnership.

Saving your marriage is clearly on your mind right now. So heed the words, make a list of things you feel you should take more care with and do something about them, as soon as you can.
