It takes two to make a marriage work.
If one of you isn't putting in the effort, the other one has too much weight on their shoulders and there is a good chance of problems surfacing.
Men and women often seem to deal with relationship problems differently.
It's wrong to generalize, but whilst a lot of women will attempt to sit down and discuss how they are feeling about the current situation, a lot of men will bury their head in the sand and not face up to things.
Once a man has decided he is not going to face up to the issues plaguing the marriage - it can feel like you are all alone.
Your husband may spend more time with his friends, more time pursuing his hobbies and interests.
The more time you spend apart, the less chance there is of you reaching resolution and making your marriage great.
If you are a wife and mother, the weight on your shoulders can be too much to bear.
How can you go about getting through to your husband? How can you regain the love and attention he once gave you when things were good? How can you make your marriage better than ever? You can do all this by taking some action.
Counselling is expensive, and if your husband is unreceptive then the chances are he will reject this as a course of action.
For now you need to think of a way you can get some valuable advice and info for yourself.
This is going to put you in a much better head space for eventually going to your husband and laying things out on the table.
