Even though you may be newly married, you still need to know how to make marriage last for the rest of your life.
Unfortunately, the answers that worked for your friends and family members may not be the ones that work for you.
Typically, each relationship will develop good and bad points while you are dating.
Those dynamics will only intensify once you get married.
As a result, you need to do something as soon as possible to head off an eventual divorce.
Lee Baucom, PhD developed one of the most extensive and powerful books ever written on the subject of marriage.
When you read his book, Save the Marriage, you will recognize everything that may one day cause your marriage to fail.
At the same time, you will learn how to overcome those problems, as well as ensure others do not develop.
In a sense, you can think of Save the Marriage as being for your marriage what routine doctor visits are to your health.
Do you skip your annual exams because you are afraid to know if something may be wrong with your health? If not, why take an avoidance approach when it comes to your marriage? When you have tools like Baucom's book, you need not even be afraid of what you find, because you will know how to fix it.
Regardless of how committed you are to your marriage, the elements of decay set in even before you take your vows.
Therefore, it is vital to make sure that you know how to make marriage work.
Even if you believe you only have small or minor problems now, it is worth your while to resolve them as quickly as possible.
You may even find that you will enjoy being married during stages when other couples are wishing they had done something sooner.
