Though the differences of a couple in the first two years of the marriage are solved easily, it becomes tough to handle 5 or 6 years later. Things like a career halt or a boom affect individuals separately creating ‘a dullness’ in a married person. “The Void” encourages them to separate. Many decide to try out last options before they call it quits.

Here are 7 tips that can save your marriage:

1. Do not try hard: Yes. The more you remind yourself that you are trying – you remind yourselves of what all had went on with you both, and this generates negative vibes.

2. Stay away and together: If you both live in a big family then move out for at least next Two Months. And if only you two (with your children) live together, then try going together to your families. (Avoid Complaining about each other to any body in the family)

3. Exercise (this is tough for a mother): Exercise with your hubby or ask him to help take care of the child(ren) while you exercise.

4. Take care of your career: Pay attention to your career. And if you don’t have any, ask him to help you out with making a career. But make sure you don’t give the impression that you are preparing for a life without him. Tell him, that you are only trying to impress him that you can have a career or concentrate better on it.

5. Trust his fidelity: Just because you do not have sex more often, doesn’t mean that your husband is having an affair. Make sure you look and ‘sound’ attractive to him.

6. Express Your Love: If your husband says he doesn’t love you any more, tell him that Love isn’t like water in a pool that can drain. It is something that’s there always, but only needs a channel to express. Find your own channel, and ask him to find his.

7. “Order and Money” Vs “Relationships and Happiness”: Any relationship cannot stand without money, and vice versa. Try and ask him how he used to feel in the beginning of the marriage whenever he bought things for you. It will help you understand how he tried to take care of bare necessities for you both.

If he talks (and ONLY if he does) tell him how you’ve kept the Relationship going. The same principle works if you are the career oriented woman and husband is a “happy” man.

No matter what, do not use lines like “what will I do if you aren’t there”. And consult a Marriage Counsellor if you think things are out of your hands.
