Continue reading ‘My Husband Doesn’t Respect My Feelings! How You Can Change This’ »]]> Think back for a moment to the days leading up to your wedding day. Depending on how long you and your husband have been married this may take some effort on your part. Chances are that you’ll remember the feelings more than the actual moments. You likely felt cherished, adored and respected. You felt confident in the choice you were making in a life partner. Your husband was the man for you and there was no doubt in your mind about it. Now, it’s a couple of kids, a mortgage and many conflicts later. How are you feeling about your marriage now? Any woman in your position will generally feel the same way as you probably do. You still love your guy but you now notice that the perfect union you thought you were getting into has a few cracks here and there. One of those imperfections may be in how your husband relates to you. A very common complaint among married women is that their husband doesn’t respect their feelings. Is that something that you can relate to?

It’s incredibly hard to be in a marriage when you feel that your husband doesn’t respect what you feel. It makes you feel insignificant and undervalued. Your feelings for your husband are bound to change if you sense that he cares less about your emotions. You may begin to resent him which can undermine the foundation of your marriage and, in turn, the relationship you both have with your children. It’s a serious problem and it’s not one that will suddenly repair itself. You need to take ownership for what is going on within the marriage because it’s highly unlikely that your husband will take any steps towards changing the situation.

In fact, your husband may actually be oblivious to the fact that you feel disrespected in this regard. Men aren’t always born with the same emotional insight that we are. Your husband may just disconnect himself at times because he has grown tired of listening to you talk about what is bothering you. That’s not to say that he doesn’t care about you, but he may feel he can’t help you in any significant way so he instead tunes you out. You absorb that as his not caring when in fact, he just doesn’t feel emotionally equipped to provide any help.

How to Get Your Husband to Respect Your Feelings

There’s no way around talking with him about this. Some women become so emotional when they feel neglected in this way, that they take to playing games with their husband. They start using the silent treatment only to discover their husband doesn’t notice. Or some women huff and puff around the house hoping their spouse will recognize that their upset. What usually happens is the husband in question silently decides his wife is having a bad day and just gets out of her way.

Talk to your husband. Explain to him that you feel that he doesn’t show your feelings the respect they deserve. It’s very important that you cushion this with some positive reinforcement. A great example is if you tell your husband how grateful you are that you two are still together and still devoted to making the marriage as happy as possible. If he understands that you have only good intentions, he’ll be much more willing to help you deal with any issues that are bothering you.

Guide him towards a better balance by making suggestions of ways he can help you manage your feelings. Men welcome this type of feedback as it gives them a roadmap they can follow instead of having to navigate the tricky road of emotions on their own. Take his hand and show him what you need from him emotionally and he’ll be more willing to supply it.

You can have an enriching, loving and compassionate connection with your husband. Learn how to improve your marriage now.

Continue reading ‘My Husband and I Are Growing Apart! Can I Still Save Our Marriage?’ »]]> When we marry we expect that our spouse will always be the person we’ll feel a special connection with. We envision that they’ll be our closest confidante as well as the one soul in the world we always feel safest with. That’s what marriage is about but what happens if those feelings begin to shift and you start to feel an emotional distance developing between you and the man you married? It’s something that many married women are forced to face at some point. As much as they don’t want to even consider the idea of divorce, it’s right there rearing its ugly head in the distance.  There are bound to be moments when it feels as though the emotional divide that is now there between you and your husband is unconquerable. It may not be after all. A great deal depends on you and what you truly want for your future.

If your husband and you are now growing apart, you can still save the marriage if you’re determined and if you use the right tools to make it happen. You already know that asking your spouse what’s wrong too often can elicit a rather strong, negative response in him. If a man doesn’t feel like talking about what’s bothering him, he’ll shut down. If his wife pushes him over and over to open up, he’ll lash out in an effort to make her stop. You don’t want to be on the receiving end of that response because it will only create more tension between the two of you.

Often, within a marriage, the couple neglects each other not out of spite or intent, but more as a result of stressful circumstances. The economy certainly isn’t what it used to be. Many couples struggle to make ends meet and as a result, they focus more on trying to stay financially afloat, than they do the marriage. The connection between them, inevitably suffers and they end up feeling more like distant roommates than they do lovers and co-parents.

The same is true within a marriage where the husband has to juggle a stressful career with his responsibilities as a parent. Try as he might to get everything done at work each day, he carries the stress of what awaits him tomorrow, into the home. He sits and stews over it in silent thought and his wife absorbs that as him being disconnected from her. He is, in a sense, because often just talking about what is bothering him can help a man tremendously.

What’s the best way to deal with a marriage in which you feel your husband is growing apart from you? The answer isn’t necessarily all that simplistic. It’s multi-layered and it’s going to take energy and commitment on your part, but it can be done.

Begin with trying to open up a dialogue with your husband about what he’s currently feeling. You must approach this conversation from a place of compassion and not confrontation. Even if you feel that your husband has been purposefully emotionally neglecting you, give the man the benefit of the doubt for now. Ask him if there’s anything he’d like to talk about and explain that you’ve been doing some self reflection and you recognize that you haven’t always been the wife you’ve wanted to be. If you take some of the onus for the marriage troubles, onto yourself, your husband will feel less cornered and will be more likely to talk with you.

Sometimes, the best way to deal with a struggle within your marriage is to correct the problem before the discussion happens. You can do this if you feel confident that you understand what is causing the distance between you two. A good example of this scenario is if you two have been facing a conflict over an issue and haven’t found a way to resolve it. Perhaps it is a financial disagreement or maybe you’re at odds over something to do with one of the children.

An argument that never has an ending can literally undermine a marriage to the point where divorce feels and seems like the only logical step to be taking. Resentment uses these types of disagreement as a breeding ground and once that sets in, it can be hard to find your way back to one another. Although you may not feel it’s in your best interest to compromise on your position, think about what is at stake and the gravity of the future. Giving in now may save your marriage, so take some time and think about whether that’s a move that you need to be making right now.

There are steps you can take now to save your marriage even without your husband’s help. Click here to learn what you need to do now to secure your future with the man you adore.

Continue reading ‘How to Tell if Your Husband Hates You? Signs the Love is Gone’ »]]> Is there a way to tell if your husband hates you? “Hate” is such a strong word, isn’t it? But, sadly, you feel that your husband has grown to dislike you to such a point that he loathes you. That’s a tough emotional pill for any married woman to swallow. The nagging feeling that your husband just isn’t happy is difficult to shake. In the back of your mind you can’t help but wonder whether you’re misreading things, right? You’re hopeful that you are but still there are some signs present that indicate that the man you married just isn’t feeling any degree of love or affection for you anymore. Is there a definitive way to tell what’s going on in his heart without confronting him? There are actually a few subtle clues that may help you to clarify where the connection with your husband stands and whether your marriage really does have a future or not.

Here are a few signs that the love your husband once felt for you has disappeared:

He’s not affectionate anymore. A man in love wants to be affectionate with the woman he adores, be it a girlfriend or a wife. Men enjoy stealing kisses and they crave being close to the woman in their lives. If your husband never wants to kiss you and hand holding has become a very distant memory in your marriage, that’s a clear sign that his feelings for you have definitely shifted into a less complimentary place.

He’s very critical of you. Every relationship goes through periods of time where the couple can’t seem to agree on anything. In some marriages, those conflicts wade into personal waters when either the husband or the wife starts firing off hurtful insults. Your husband may have always been critical of you to a degree, but if he’s turned it up a notch and it’s waded into spiteful territory, that’s an indicator of what he’s no longer feeling for you. A man who desperately loves his wife will not intentionally say hurtful things to her regardless of how strained their marriage is.

He avoids spending time with you. Many women jump to the incorrect conclusion that their husband is having an affair when he starts working more. In reality, most men who are intentionally avoiding being with their wives aren’t cheating. They simply don’t know how to get through a few hours with a woman they’ve come to dislike. If you notice that your husband seems preoccupied with the idea of being away from home more, take that as a clear sign that he’s not finding any fulfillment within your marriage anymore.

He forgets important dates. You may chuckle at this sign that your husband doesn’t love you anymore, but take a moment to carefully consider it. Yes, some men are notoriously bad at remembering significant dates in their wife’s life or within their marriage, but there’s a point where it becomes less about memory issues and much more about intention. If your husband has always given you something on your birthday and this year you get absolutely nothing, that’s not about him being too busy or forgetful. He’s made a conscious decision not to acknowledge your birthday and that’s incredibly significant. The same is true if your wedding anniversary has passed without so much as a greeting card.

He spends more time with the children on his own. If your husband insists on spending more time alone with the children, that’s a very troubling, yet clear sign that the marriage is heading towards its end. Some men, who feel emotionally disconnected from their wives, will forge a new, and individual, relationship with their children. They do this in anticipation of a separation when they’ll be forced to parent alone at certain times. This is a situation that can be confusing for a woman who isn’t aware of her husband’s shift in feelings.

Recognizing some of the signs that your husband is no longer feeling as close to you as he once did can help you determine what you want your future to look like and therefore what your next step should be. Arming yourself with more knowledge, in terms of what your husband feels and expects, will help you move forward towards making the most informed and suitable choice for your own future and that of your children.

You don’t have to continue living in a marriage in which you feel alienated and unloved.

You can save your marriage and actually rebuild it so it’s stronger than it’s ever been before.

Continue reading ‘My Husband Won’t Make Me a Priority! How to Shift His Attitude’ »]]> Your husband has a very full life. Most men do. He likely juggles a full-time career, his responsibilities as a father and his commitment to you. You do the same in your life but you feel that you’ve always made your husband a priority, even though he hasn’t done the same for you. You’re frustrated, disappointed and perhaps even a bit confused. You never imagined your life would end up in this place, did you? You feel unappreciated, taken for granted and unloved. Obviously, this situation has to change. You’re not going to accomplish that by making subtle comments about how your best friend’s husband loves and adores her. It’s also not going to make any difference if you nag your husband in an effort to get him to move you to the top of his priority list. You have to address this issue in a way that makes your husband come to his own realization that you’re the most important person in his life. Understanding the direction you need to take to accomplish that begins with gaining more insight into why he’s acting the way he is.

On the day you and your husband married you promised many things to one another both verbally and silently. To most women one of the major, silent vows is to always put one another at the top of life’s priority list. We, as women, almost always do that with our spouses. We may falter a bit when we become mothers primarily because our parental nature kicks in and we focus all of our attention on our little ones. However, with men it tends to be a bit different story. Men sometimes allow their work or their friends to take top billing. If you’re a wife who is beginning to notice that shift in her husband’s life, it’s ultimately going to hurt.

Shifting your husband’s attitude so that you become the focal point of his life isn’t nearly as hard as you may believe that it is. You’ve likely already tried speaking to him about the problem. In most cases when a husband is confronted with a wife who says that she feels neglected, he’ll take a defensive stance and go on the attack. He may say things about how he works so hard for her or how he can’t ever do anything that makes her happy. This is to be expected and any woman who has had this conversation with her husband more than once, knows that it’s a normal reaction so she doesn’t take it personally.

You absolutely must take a more subtle approach. Your husband reacts better to action than words. Most men do. They will make a change in themselves if they feel something internally as opposed to being told something. That’s why it can be incredibly helpful if you temporarily stop paying your husband as much attention as you have been. You shouldn’t take the stance of pushing him to the back of your priority list, but instead view it as moving other things ahead of him for a time and for a very defined purpose.

The simpler and less meaningful things are the best. That’s to say that if your husband is expecting you to have dinner cooked when he comes home from the office, he should be greeted with a frozen dinner and a note saying you had a yearning to go see a movie with a girlfriend. Another great way to get your point across is to stop doing as much around the house. If you neglect your husband’s laundry because you’re so busy shopping online for a new handbag, he’s going to feel the pinch of your neglect.

This may be viewed by many women as game playing with their spouse but sometimes the way to a man’s heart is through sports. It’s doubtful that your husband has made a conscious effort to push you off his priority list. It’s more likely that he’s mindlessly allowed other things to take precedence. By showing him how that feels, you’ll be pushing him into seeing that there’s a better and more respectful way to be a loving and attentive partner.

If your husband won’t make you a priority it can lead to serious marriage problems.

Learn what you can do now to save your relationship and make your husband value and appreciate you all over again.

Continue reading ‘How Do You Know When Your Marriage is Over? Signs to Be Aware Of’ »]]> How do you know when your marriage is over? It’s a loaded question and if you’re the person asking it, you already have a fairly good idea of where your marriage stands. Things obviously aren’t where they were on the day you two married. Perhaps you and your spouse just don’t talk as much as you used to or maybe the two of you can’t seem to communicate without a roaring argument erupting each and every time. Regardless of what’s been happening, the fact of the matter is that things aren’t in a good place. It’s very easy for a couple to overlook their marital issues and just continue down the distant and disconnected course they’re on. Burying your head in the sand in this way won’t help either you or your spouse. You both deserve more than a hollow connection. Understanding the signs that your marriage is over will help you and your partner decide whether your relationship is worth saving or whether it’s time to walk away before any more damage is done.

There are a series of warning signs that indicate when a couple is struggling seriously within their relationship. These signs include:

The goals of one spouse don’t coincide with the other. We all have our own unique idea of what our life will be like at any given point. When we marry we do so because we envision that relationship as being a fulfilling part of our life’s journey. When a person starts to view their future without consideration about how the marriage fits into the plan, things are on very shaky ground. An example is when one spouse is considering a permanent move to a new city or a career shift into a new direction. If those goals are entertained without consulting the other spouse, the marriage is clearly not at the top of that person’s priority list.

One spouse has become increasingly verbally abusive towards the other. Verbal abuse comes in many forms. For some couples it centers on one spouse constantly criticizing the other in a very derogatory way. This may be in the forms of disparaging comments about the other partner’s appearance or their choice in friends or work. Verbal abuse often occurs in arguments when one partner takes to calling their spouse names riddled with anger. If a person feels victimized verbally by their spouse it’s a very clear and serious sign that the relationship is unhealthy and emotionally dangerous.

There is no longer an emotional investment. There are obviously many crucial elements to a balanced, fulfilling and happy marriage. One key element is a strong and unwavering emotional investment in one another. You have to care deeply for your spouse as not only your life partner, but as a human being as well. If you or your spouse have become so emotionally disconnected that you no longer care whether the other is happy, that’s a sign of a marriage in very serious trouble.

Obviously, there are many more signs that are indicative of a marriage that has hit a crisis point. If you’re still unsure whether you and your spouse are simply going through a rough patch or if your marriage is racing towards divorce, consider the state of your connection now as compared to several months or years ago. If there’s a noticeable difference in a negative sense, that’s a clear sign that you and your spouse need to address the problems you are facing now. Ignoring a marriage that is free falling towards destruction will not remedy it. It’s time to work with your spouse to decide together what your next step will be.

Many marriages go through an incredibly difficult time. It’s up to you and your spouse whether you want to end the relationship or save your marriage from divorce.

You can rebuild the connection you two once share so it’s stronger than it’s ever been. There is a guaranteed way to save your marriage.

Continue reading ‘My Husband Forgot My Birthday! How to Guarantee It Never Happens Again’ »]]> “My husband forgot my birthday!” Oh no. Any woman saying that isn’t in a good place emotionally. How is it that we can live with a man for years, tend to his every need and he somehow can’t remember the one day a year when we were born? It’s exasperating, isn’t it? You feel neglected and taken for granted and you have every right to feel that and more. A birthday is a special event and when the person you are sharing your life with can’t recall it, you’re bound to question more than his memory. You start to wonder whether he really does love you the way he says he does and if there’s not some underlying psychological reason why he just doesn’t view your birthday as a memorable day. Before you vent all this pent up anger in his direction, stop. Getting angry may feel like the right thing to do, but it’s probably only going to add to the tension and stress you’re currently feeling.

The bottom line is that men just don’t attach the same significance to dates that we do. It doesn’t matter if it’s a birthday, an anniversary or the day your first child was born. Your husband may not remember them strictly because his mind is so focused on other things. He likely doesn’t make any sort of association about his love for you and remembering those dates. To him they are just days of the year and although he wants to remember, he doesn’t put that much effort into ensuring that he does.

Women can be sneaky. We can also use our husband’s shortcomings against him. Most of us are guilty of doing this even if we aren’t ready to admit it. The issue of a forgotten birthday is a prime example of this. Some of us have been known to neglect telling our husband of our approaching birthday just because we want to have the chance to catch him if he forgets. Perhaps you’ve done this? You vow to yourself that you won’t remind him that your birthday is just a week away because you want to test his love for you by seeing if he’ll remember on his own. If he’s the forgetful type you are setting a trap for him that he isn’t going to be able to avoid. He’ll forget just as you expected him to and you’ll be there to pounce on him and accuse him of not caring about you. However, if you cared for him and wanted to keep your birthday a happy event, you’d leave subtle and not-so-subtle reminders in places where he was sure to see them.

Helping your partner is part of a happy and balanced marriage. If your husband is a great provider, a wonderful friend and a supportive co-parent, it’s okay to go out of your way to remind him of special dates before the big days arrive. Put a calendar in a place you know he frequents, be it the washroom or the garage and then circle the days that mean something to you in a red pen. Or set an alarm on his mobile device, if you have access to it, to remind him that your birthday is just around the corner. If you want to be even more subtle about it, tell him what you’d like for your birthday a week or two before it arrives. Suggest it in an off-handed way so it doesn’t appear as though you’re telling him just to remind him that your special day is right around the corner.

Although you may not see this approach as romantic, it’s a way to ensure your marriage survives your birthday. With just a bit of coaxing you can make certain that your husband will be ready when your birthday rolls around so he won’t have to face the consequences when he comes home from work empty handed yet again.

In many marriages, the woman begins to feel neglected. If this is happening in your relationship and you don’t address it, it can lead to many marriage problems.

Learn how you can change your marriage today and get it back to the loving connection it once was.

Continue reading ‘What’s the Best Way to Heal My Marriage? Ideas to Get on a More Positive Path’ »]]> “What’s the best way to heal my marriage?” It’s a valid question for anyone who is staring straight at the possibility of divorce. No one marries with the intention of eventually getting a divorce. If you’re like most couples, things were going great until slowly there was increased tension between you and your spouse. Maybe you didn’t even notice it at first, but over time it became glaringly obvious that your marriage wasn’t what it used to be. If you’re not feeling any adoration for your spouse at this point, divorce seems like a good option. It certainly is for some couples, but not all. Just because you and your partner have reached a huge bump in the road of your relationship that doesn’t mean that you have to go your separate ways. Healing your marriage is more than possible if you have the right attitude, insight and understanding to make it happen.

The best way to heal your marriage really depends on how you two have interacted as a couple up to this point. For some couples, therapy is the light at the end of their turbulent tunnel. They can’t communicate in any effective way without things turning verbally abusive. It’s difficult enough to try and get your point across to your spouse if you two aren’t getting along, but when they become angry and their words take on a mean spirited tone, it’s just not worth it for the two of you to keep talking. In this instance, it’s going to be near impossible for the two of you to work out anything on your own. If left to your own devices you and your spouse will surely drive your marriage into the ground just out of the anger and resentment you both feel. Research therapists in your local area, talk to friends or your medical professional and find someone who will help you. It can really be the one step that saves your marriage.

If you two are able to still communicate in a clear and respectful way you can attempt to try and put the pieces of your marriage back together by yourselves. There are some ways to make the process less painful and those all have to do with respecting certain boundaries and listening to your partner. To begin with choose specific times to discuss your marriage. You need to make time to do this and you both should be in agreement that it’s during those moments that your focus is on overcoming the issues you are facing. If you don’t have designated times for this, your marriage troubles will soon overtake your lives and will impact each and every conversation you have. That’s not helpful particularly if you are trying to shield your small children from the conflict. By setting time aside you’ll also be able to prepare for the conversations so you’ll know what you want to express and you’ll feel emotionally ready.

You both also must be in firm agreement that you won’t throw any verbal punches at one another. That means no personal insults should ever be a part of your conversations. When a couple is trying to heal their marriage they must let go of all the resentment that has tarnished their relationship to this point. Look at your spouse as your partner towards a happier future. Consider how your words may sting them before you hurl them their way. It takes just a moment to cause irreparable damage with unkind words. The power of positive gestures and discussion can immediately impact your marriage in a good way. Never lose sight of that.

Couples can love one another and yet find themselves drifting apart and headed for a divorce. There are steps you can take, with or without the aid of your spouse to get your marriage back into the loving place it once was.

You can save your marriage and rebuild it into a more connected, satisfying relationship.

Continue reading ‘3 Tips For Preventing a Divorce From Ending Your Marriage’ »]]> There are some circumstances that we may find ourselves in, during the course of our lifetimes that feel overwhelming and suffocating. One such circumstance is a marriage that is clearly failing fast. Most of us marry with the intent to stay that way until we take our last breath. Unfortunately, life often throws a series of curveballs we don’t expect and unless you and your spouse are ready for them and able to handle them, they can dramatically change the relationship forever. If divorce is now a constant subject of discussion between you and your spouse, it may feel that it’s just inevitable and you have no choice but to accept the end of the marriage. You should never allow that to happen. If you love your partner and you believe the marriage still has a future that can be filled with mutual love, adoration and respect, you need to start learning about techniques for preventing a divorce.

Here are three tips for preventing a divorce from ending your marriage:

Call a truce. This sounds more like a tactic you’d use on your two small children who can’t find a middle ground to their argument, doesn’t it? The premise of a truce is simple, but it’s effective even in a situation where a marriage is on the cusp of crumbling. You and your spouse are not going to get anywhere if you continue to fight over small things. Make a pact to not argue for a week. If you can lengthen that time into two or more weeks, try that as well. Getting the verbal conflict out of the equation for now will make a world of difference in how you two interact with one another. It’s also healthier in terms of what your children are experiencing. Even if you’re very careful to never argue in front of the youngsters, they are terribly insightful and can always tell when something just isn’t right between mommy and daddy.

Take a break. Taking a step back from your marriage can be just what the relationship doctor ordered. When you’re always immersed in a stressful situation, it’s very hard to think clearly and with any amount of thoughtful reason. Right now you likely view your spouse as the enemy and as such you’re constantly on guard when you’re around them. You can’t accomplish anything beneficial by being this way. I’m not advocating a separation, but you may find it helpful to take a weekend getaway with friends and leave your spouse at home. If your partner is feeling as much anxiety as you are over the marriage issues, they’ll welcome the time alone. Absence can really work wonders when it comes to clearing a person’s mind and helping them to gain perspective. Don’t view this time apart as the beginning of the end but more as the beginning of a new future.

Talk with respect. When was the last time you really listened to the things your spouse was sharing with you? If you’re like most individuals who are deep in the trenches of a bad marriage, it was a very long time ago. Your spouse needs to be heard by you, just as you need the same from them. Many couples find it helpful to have “conversation rules” that they live by when they’re trying to prevent a divorce from ruining their marriage. They may include things like no interrupting one another, no direct insults and time to consider a response before delivering it. Taking care with how you speak to one another can really breathe new life into your marriage. You’ll both begin to feel as though the other truly does care and wants to listen.

Giving up on your marriage and agreeing to a divorce is a life changing decision and not one that should be made in haste or without careful consideration. Don’t rush yourself into anything and don’t allow your spouse to push you either. Take whatever time you need to work on the marriage. It’s the most important relationship you’ll ever have and it’s worth your attention, patience and understanding.

You can prevent a divorce from ending your marriage. Whether you work towards a renewed and happier connection with or without your spouse, you can completely transform your marriage forever.

So one simple yet effective way to fix that is by the two of you writing down and sharing what you both feel needs to get fixed. Putting your thoughts down on paper can, at times, be an easier way than finding the right words to say. So let it all out. Don’t hold anything back. Put whatever it is that is bothering you down on that piece of paper. This method allows you to share all of your thoughts. Often, when we try to express ourselves verbally, we forget certain things or the conversation goes off on a tangent. By communicating through the written word, you’ll be able to express what you feel clearly. You owe it to yourself and your loved one to let them know how you feel.

Choose a calm time to exchange papers with your spouse. Take a look at what they wrote. It doesn’t matter if they wrote one thing or multiple things you need to take the time to read them all. Try your best not to let their words overwhelm you in the moment. You need to absorb what they’ve written and then take some time to think about how you can begin to make positive changes that will not only address what your spouse feels as concerns, but also work on what you feel is wrong with the marriage too. By getting everything out in the open, you and your partner can then start working together to find some resolutions to your mutual problems.

Whether your problems have to do with communication or lack of affection you need to do all you can to work on it. Just because your spouse is showing signs of distance doesn’t mean you both need to give up. Take the time out of your day to show them how much they mean to you. Talk with them about the marriage and what it means to you both. Work on your issues, one by one, together, hand-in-hand. It will help you grow stronger as a couple and in time, it will build a better and unbreakable bond between the two of you.
