When you attend a couple’s 50th wedding anniversary, you tend to look at them with awe. How does a couple live together for that long and look so happy about it. Well the answer is simply this – they may not always have been happy, but they have tried to resolve their problems and make a success of their marriage. A divorce has become a common solution to marital problems. While some marriages are beyond saving, most can be resolved with a little patience.

Some of these solutions may sound hackneyed to you but if you work at them, they are bound to help stop a divorce. For starters communication, try and amicably reach an agreement that you will work towards communicating with each other positively. Be receptive to the other person’s opinion and try and view things from their perspective. This however does not mean that you be submissive to any opinion. Communication is a two-way process. There is a bit of give and take. While you may not really be in the mood of giving, if it helps save a marriage you should try and keep an open mind.

Saving a marriage is also about putting away past differences and biases. Try and look at your relationship as one of equals. This means that each one is entitled to an opinion and the right to justify or defend that opinion. Keep the field open in terms of not agreeing with your spouse. But at the same time, agree not let those differences affect your relationship. If you know your spouse is giving up something to accommodate you, then try and work at making up for it in a different way. This shows you care and also acknowledges that you understand the sacrifice that is being made for you. It is human nature to want such acknowledgement even if they don’t openly ask for it.

In order to prevent a divorce and make a marriage work, both partners have to be ready for change. This change can be facilitated by a counselor or can be something that has been mutually worked upon and agreed by both. Change is a difficult thing to accept. It alters the status quo that a couple has been living in. While adjusting to the idea can be difficult, it will make a difference in the long run. Stopping a divorce is not an easy task but with an open mind and a willingness to work at things, it can be achieved.

Practical advice on relationships and wisdom for couples to help you save a relationship and stop your divorce. Are you married and flirting? Is your relationship in trouble?

15 years of marriage my husband was filing for divorce because of his new secretary who was employed October 2021, this daughter of Jezebel has turned my husband against me and his entire family. My mother-in-law has called my husband several times to come for a family meeting but he said he has nothing to talk to anyone about that has made his decision, he said he has been blind all these years and now he can see that I am not the woman for him after 5 children. I was in my mother’s house with my children for over 9months, just 4 weeks ago I sought spiritual aid to stop the divorce and bring my husband back to me though all hope was lost of regaining my marriage. I'm still surprised till now about this miracle. Within these few weeks Dr Agbadu of solution temple was able to put an end and stop the divorce and restore my marriage within 7 days. I really appreciate all the effort made by Dr Agbadu Once again I say thanks for your help. I will drop his contact for the usefulness of those that need his help.
