Marriage troubles and divorce rates are out of control these days. More than half of marriages today end in divorce. That is a horribly sad statistic. Love is a choice that you make every day when you go to sleep and when you wake up. Some days you may not feel the original feeling, but love isn't a feeling or an emotion. It is an action...a verb.
Falling out of love may just mean that you need to spice things up or that you were never really in love in the first place. But if you do fall in love and get married, don't take the easy way out and give up on the person just because you have temporarily lost the spark. Divorce should only be considered due to extreme circumstances, such as an affair where you can never trust the person again.
I have a blog that has more information about what I have been going through and what I have learned through the process. If you feel like checking it out, I totally suggest it. http://marriagecounselingonline.blogspot.com/
I, personally, went through a stage where I thought I had fallen out of love. I wanted to just give up and move on. But after putting in some hard work, I was able to work things out within myself and I am so thankful that I did. I have reviewed many methods to help a marriage succeed and feel that these methods can work for anybody if you go into it with an open mind.

My boyfriend's ex won't go away!
By: Daphne | 13-07-2008
Can anyone give me advice on how to handle my boyfriend's ex contacting him? She has been the thorne in our relationship from the beginning. I do not believe there is anything going on other than her contacting him. He tells me every time she contacts him(whether it be a text, an im, or a phone call). He tells me he doesn't contact her and has said that she is a drama queen. She lately contacted him to tell him about her surgery that was scheduled the following day-she sent at text at 1am! Then she tells him a few days later that everything was fine and also that she is dating someone. So why does she need to contact him? I know I have no control over the situation but I get angry every time she contacts him. I appreciate him telling me but it is very frustrating. He is aware of my feelings when she calls and I know I end up putting him a confused state because he feels that by telling me everything is ok. At first it was, but now it is just a nuisance! Any suggestions to help me deal with this situation?
Husband tells me what to wear
By: Jen | 13-07-2008
my husband is always asking me to wear skimpy lingerie even to clean the house and cook or just to watch television at any hour of day. If I want to go to the movies he wants me to wear a mini skirt with no panties and if I refuse then he does not want to go. It is driving me crazy...... sometimes I give in so that he wont get upset but when I do refuse because I just want to wear something comfy around the house he becomes upset, quiet and gives me the silent treatment. What should I do? He has become so involved in what I wear that it is really annoying.
Is he cheating?
By: concerned | 13-07-2008
My boyfriend is always accusing me of cheating on him and not being at home when i say that i am going there. he is always starting fights and telling me that i dont really love him that i am just playing him. and when he starts these fights he always ends up telling me to go home and then telling me that i am not really at home when i am. then if i try and call him he ignores my calls and texts but will say that he "didn't hear his phone or that the text didn't come thru until hours later". and for days he will still ignore my calls and only call me about the time i get out of work just to find out where i am at but anyother time he wants to have nothing to do with me until he wants something or wants to know something. he always knows where i am at all the time..and the majority of the time i am at his house if i am not at work unless he tells me to go home. but when he goes places its i have things to take care of or i have errands i have to run....Could all this be signs that he is cheating?
