How to Stop Your Divorce and Save Your Marriage
from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit
A marriage ending in divorce is a tragedy for everyone involved. If there’s one thing true about divorce, divorce is never easy and is always painful for all involved parties. Are you wondering if you’ll be able to put a stop to your divorce? I want to reassure you that you can–and not only that, you will save your marriage and restore its vigor and charm! Let me show you how…
Steps
- Believe that you’ll be able to stop your divorce. So many people brush this step off as unnecessary, but the truth is that it’s foundational to stopping your divorce. The hard truth is that if you don’t really believe in your heart that you can put a stop to your divorce and save your marriage, then it will be next to impossible to do so.
- Explain to your spouse that you are committed to your marriage and that divorce is not an option! Tell your spouse that not only do you want to stop your divorce and save your marriage, but that you want to build him (or her) up and be an encouragement in their life. Also, don’t be afraid to admit past mistakes to your spouse — doing so will show them that you are serious about stopping your divorce.
- Affirm and encourage your spouse in actions and words daily. This is the most powerful step in the whole process, and I can guarantee that if you are consistent in this daily affirmation then your spouse will have no choice other than to love you back.
Tips
- Resist the urge to be negative in the way you think about your marriage or your spouse. Negativity is all around us, so surround yourself with positive people.
- Always be honest with your spouse, expressing your true feelings and desires. Don’t be afraid to tell your spouse that you want nothing more than to put a stop to your divorce and to save your marriage. Showing her this type of passion is contagious!
- Prove to your spouse that you are serious about stopping your divorce by letting your actions speak louder than your words.

This is a crock of sh**. How about the divorces where the women are trying to get out of a physically abusive relationship? How about one where the man needs out? I firmly believe that divorces usually occur for a reason.
