Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Rekindle the Spark In Your Marriage/Relationship
There are many couples that are finding themselves overworked and stressed out by the lack of time that they have to spend with one another. A marriage or relationship may be taking a bad turn because there are no outlets for the couple to enjoy themselves. If this is the case, it is time to get together and discuss this as a couple. It works better when a married couple can sit down and come to this realization that they need to do something about this. Everyone is not going to get together and talk about it, but it helps so much more when there is a true conversation about how you need to do something to get the spark back in your marriage.

The Institution of Marriage: Yeah, OK?
I'm sure the title looks misleading, possibly cynical—and maybe it is. Yet, at this period of my life, I have not made it to the infamous cornerstone of life's journey; Marriage. The old holy union between two lovers that had concluded that they want to do this thing call life together until death. The very thought of it, right now, makes me laugh. Gut-clutching laughter. That's pretty dark. It might be, however, looking at my life; I haven't had great examples of marriage. Along with being possibly on the end of what many married people seek; the adulteress. I can't help but crack the hell up.

How to Maintain a Healthy Relationship with Your Spouse
Despite romance movies and novels often making marriage seem like some effortless happily ever after, in real life, over half of all marriages are doomed to fail. Healthy and happy marriages require dedication and a lot of thought. Most relationships have a honeymoon period of life being bliss and having no problem love can’t solve.

So, how do you build this firm foundation to keep your marriage solid till death do us part?

Divorce May Not Be the Answer
Why, oh why, is there such a lack of communication among families these days! Whatever happened to the notion of working things out through the use of communication? These are just two of the many questions I ask myself whenever I hear of divorce between couples whom I know, don’t know, or even celebrity couples. I don’t want to stereotype celebrities because, like us, they’re individuals with huge incomes earned from their crafts of either singing, acting, writing, dancing, etc. in front of millions of viewers. However, I have noticed that an awful lot of divorces are among celebrities, though I won’t name any names. Still, how can a woman decide, “This just isn’t working out. I want a divorce,” so quickly after giving birth to a second child that you both supposedly prayed for? If it’s not a case of physical abuse or verbal abuse, it should be worth considering what drew you to your significant other or spouse in the first place. What was it about him that made you give him that second look? What was it about her that made you have to have her phone number at first sight? What gave you the nerve to approach her to introduce yourself as possibly the man of her dreams? I’ve often heard people say that when it comes to making big decisions a person must look deep within himself or herself before making any life changing decisions. The first time that I heard that expression I thought, “as if our eyes could turn around and look inside our bodies." That would truly be a sight to see; all of the major organs operating to keep us functioning as human beings. Still, I understood what that concept meant due to circumstances in which it was used.

Your Relationship Can Survive Infertility
For some couples, attempting to conceive is a years-long battle. Having a baby is one of the most emotional things you’ll go through in your marriage, as it is, and if you are struggling to conceive, the effects can be devastating on your relationship. Everyone handles setbacks and obstacles differently, and that’s completely normal, but it can be frustrating. It’s hard to feel united when you’re both feeling different emotions at the same time.
