A bad relationship can make you bitter, but before shouting out a divorce, you should look back into these signs and make a sincere effort to make things work out.
"It's difficult, but not impossible to save a crumbling marriage," says Hemangi Kulkarni Naik, social counsellor at Harmony Center, Navi Mumbai. To revive a healthy communication between you two, Naik lists down some primary steps:
Have an intention and belief in the power of relationships
Switch off the TV or the mobile and ventilate your feelings constructively
Seek help. You can consult a psychiatrist, counsellor or a sexologist. “Some couples need patience and prolonged therapy under a counsellor or a psychiatrist; especially those whose marriages are on the edge due to delicate issues like substance abuse or an autistic child,” says Naik.
Deal with your traumatic pre-marital experiences as yourself, without blaming your partner for it.
Be kind and sensitive to the needs of the other.
Slowly, yet positively, show proactiveness, as actions speak louder than words. If couples can make sincere attempts to mend a breaking marriage, the bond between the partners may emerge out to be stronger than before.
