One question that some married couples face is whether or not they should get a divorce. In some cases it is very obvious to both partners that things were just not meant to be (abuse, affairs, etc). However some couples just seem to lose the connection that they once had. They begin to question if their marriage is worth keeping.
If you are questioning your marriage and even considering divorce then obviously something is not right. Your marriage is in need of work. However that does not necessarily mean that it should be over.
If you are questioning a divorce then that means that some feelings still exist. If feelings are still there and you are completely set on ending your marriage, then it is worth trying to save it.
During this difficult time, couples may try different methods of strengthening their relationship. They may try doing more activities together or even attending marriage counseling. Keeping good communication and not bottling your worries and angers inside is also a good practice.
Many people go through different stages in their lives. There are times that we feel bad about ourselves and times when we feel that we have been cheated by not having what we see others have. You as a couple may be going through a stage such as this.
The key is to find something that reconnects the two of you. Before settling for a divorce that you are not certain of obtaining, try some time together and even some time apart.
Taking separate vacations may give each of you time to think about what it is that you really want. It may also open your eyes to how life would be without each other.
If you are not completely sure that divorce is the right option for your marriage, then do not do it. Try something else first.
