My husband and I are having serious marriage problems.?

We both love each other very much and want to work it out.
Where do we start?

There are many ways to resolve some, or perhaps all, or the issues in your marriage. The first thing you have to be sure is that you want to resolve the problems.

Firstly, in a quiet time of your own, write down all of the things which are troubling you about your marriage. This will help to ensure that you keep on track when you are ready to talk about it all.

Secondly, make sure that when you and your husband are ready to talk that there are no distractions. So send the kids out to the grandparents, put the tv off and make sure the phone is unplugged. Maybe try to put some music on which reminds the two of you of the happy times you spent together.

Thirdly, and most importantly, talk to your husband about how you feel openly and honestly. You can never, ever, ever be criticised for being honest with each other (think back to your marriage vows) and try your best to keep your cool.

Ensure that you afford your husband the chance to put his point across. In every conflict there are two sides, so please be willing to hear each other out.

Don’t bring up old conflicts, try not to make generalisations (such as "you never" or "you always", be willing to confess any mistakes you have made, and above all please, please, keep your sense of humour throughout. Love is based on an ability to be honest, open, humble and through laughter.

I hope everything works out well for you.
