The divorce rate is so high that some people are afraid to get married in the first place. They think there is no point because most of the people they know are getting divorced - some even just a few years after saying their vows. An unhappy marriage is no fun, and can make people think that happiness with another person is just not possible. The real problem might be that people do not take marriage seriously, and when things get tough they get out, without any attempts to fix the problems. That can be a huge mistake.
If you are in an unhappy marriage, think about things very thoroughly before you decide that you want to ask for a divorce. There are some things that can happen which can mean the end of any marriage, and you can decide what your limits are. Many believe that cheating is the end of a marriage (though this is totally subjective), and most would agree that any type of physical or mental abuse should not be tolerated. Otherwise, however, an unhappy marriage can be saved.
There are many people today who do not understand what the word commitment means. They believe that this is something that you do when things feel good, but dont think much of it when they find that they are in an unhappy marriage. Commitment is more about the bad times than the good. It is easy to make a commitment when you are in love and things are going well. Every relationship has its ups and downs, and there are going to be times when it feels like you are in an unhappy marriage. It happens to every couple.
Most of the time, an unhappy marriage occurs because life gets in the way and spouses grow apart from each other. Work and children put a strain on communication and alone time. Both are essential for a marriage to work. What happens is that people think this means they have fallen out of love and they get out. That can be a huge mistake. If those people were to take the time to refocus on each other and have honest conversations about what is missing for them in the marriage, that marriage can turn around to be better than ever.
If you are in an unhappy marriage, think about why things have gone wrong. If you feel alone, unappreciated, and overwhelmed, chances are that your spouse if feeling the same. It may feel like they are treating you badly on purpose, but they probably have no idea. They can not read your mind. Think about how you have be contributing to the unhappy marriage that you find yourself in. With a little work, your marriage can be better than ever if you just take some time to really think. Your marriage vows mean something, so give it all you have before you decide it is really time to say goodbye. People fall back in love all of the time and are glad they did.
