Marriage is not something to be taken lightly. Most people get that. And as a result, they walk into this partnership planning to stay in it… forever. But life happens and people start to wonder things like, “this is not what I expected, what do I do?” or “ I feel like too much damage has been done, how can we possibly fix this?” It can happen to the best of us.
So, when that mountain feels like it’s too high to climb, and people start to wonder if their marriage can be saved, what should they do? How can they fix it? The truth is, no one thing will fix any marriage. When something as sacred as a marriage is damaged, repairing that damage comes in stages – and it takes time.
If couples think about the work involved with making things right, it can be discouraging. It might even feel impossible at times. But, I think people should not be discouraged. Small steps in the right direction can definitely help change the tone of a relationship, and that minor change in tone can be just what a couple needs to dig deep and do the real work.
Here are 5 small things you can do to help get your marriage back on track. Check them out and then let us know what you have done to help your marriage get back on track.

She’s a good friend to others, go co-worker but as a wife she seems not to be connected to the marriage and it’s been like that for a while. No affection, very little communication and I have all but stopped trying. I was a husband that cleaned house* cook, help with laundry, I led us in prayer every morning at 6am, catered to her needs/wants though mine were/ are being neglected. I’m lonely in this marriage and all of the things you spoke about in your article I do but it seems like its to someone who doesn’t appreciates it. She’s not cheating she just doesn’t show care or concern for me/marriage which has caused me to do the same and at times want someone else who wants to be connected with me.

I’m so sorry to hear this Mr. Lonely. Have you attempted counseling? Although I think the tips above are helpful, sometimes a marriage is beyond this point and can truly benefit from professional hep. I wish you the best with your marriage.
Blamkman says
Mr Lonely, i feel your pain as i am in the same exact place in my marriage. It’s really hard to deal with a situation like this and still maintain a level of order at home and a feeling of self-worth.
