For example, you may want to go out with your friends every night, or may want to go shopping every day, however, if your partner does not enjoy these occasions, or if you leave him or her alone too much, he or she may feel lonely, feel that you are neglecting them.You should not discuss or criticize your partner all the time with your family or your mother. Remember that you chose to marry your partner for a reason. Try to accept the things that you do not like that much and love other characteristics even more. You could perhaps buy him or her small gifts sometimes, or surprise your spouse with a night out, or some home-cooked food and good wine. If you pay attention to these little things, you will be able to stop an early divorce and maintain a good relationship all the time.
Arguments - Differences
Paying attention to your partner and surprising him or her from time to time may not be enough however. You surely carry the differences you have brought to the relationship within yourself, which can lead to arguments over raising the children or financial issues for example. You have to learn how to fight and then resolve the differences in a civilized manner, not by deciding for example not to talk to each other for days, but by trying to talk things over and then trying to reach a mutually satisfactory compromise. On the whole, you will have to try to cooperate in most of the things to stop a divorce.
Infidelity, Sex Life
You may find out sometime in your relationship that your partner has cheated on you, which can cause serious fights and then can lead to an eventual separation. Firstly, you should try to prevent infidelity simply by having a mutually satisfactory sexual life. Research shows that 15-20% of the couples in America, have basically no sex life in their marriage, which definitely leads to divorce sooner or later. You should reveal all your needs and preferences to your partner, and you should cooperate to maintain a high degree of intimacy. Even after infidelity, though, you may start rebuilding your relationship by exploring the causes for infidelity, perhaps you did not pay enough attention to your partner or you argue too much. You should also learn how to say I'm sorry and be able to forgive. If both of you are willing to, you could be able to stop divorce even in times of serious problems, for example after infidelity.
