How to Save Your Broken Marriage Alone

Save my Marriage

Saving your broken marriage can be done, even if you are the only one wanting to save it. The fist thing that has to be done on your part is to make a commitment, to yourself that you will honor your marriage vows no matter what.

Instructions

1. Make the commitment that you will honor your marriage vows no matter what happens. Often times when couples get married, we vow for better or worse and when things get a little tough, divorce is the first option. By making a commitment to yourself you are taking the first step to a restored marriage.

2. 

   Acknowledge God. God created marriage and He created it to be something special. God does not intend for your marriage to fail, so by acknowledging Him and asking for His help, your marriage can be saved even if you are the only one wanting to save it.

3. Zip your lips. This is a famous saying and actually can work in other instances than just saving a broken marriage too. We often don't realize that our mouths have power. The things we say can bring good or bad. Learning to zip the lips and be slow to speak and quick to listen, can show us flaws within ourselves instead of focusing on flaws in our spouses.

4. Respect and love your spouse as you are commanded and watch how much things change. Sometimes just doing what you are supposed to can bring about an amazing response from an unwilling spouse. Men you are commanded to love your wife and women you are commanded to respect your husband. Try really doing these things from your heart and see how changes begin to take place.

5. Hold fast and hold on tight. Saving your marriage is not something that can happen over night. It takes time, just like it took time to get into the mess that you are in, it takes time to heal out. Check out the principals of restoring a marriage below and follow them. What do you have to lose?

Tips & Warnings
