How can you contemplate starting over when you are facing the end of your marriage? First, you need to confront your fears and deal with them head-on. Next, you need to focus on all your strengths and positive aspects of your life. And lastly, you have to find a way to communicate with your spouse to find a solution.

If this sounds overwhelming to you, don't be anxious. Everything can be broken down into controllable steps.

The most eminent thing that you must do in the middle of your marriage crisis, is to keep your head above water. Ask yourself what is your biggest apprehension? If this marriage were to come to an end today, where would this leave you? Will you be facing a financial crisis? A health problem? Are you worried about your children?

At this point just take a moment to think about any and all options that are available to you. Who are some of the people you can reach out to for help? What can you yourself do if you were in any of the situations you fear most?

When forced to think about these things, you may find that you can come up with some answers that you might not have considered before. Although you may not necessarily like all your options, it is still important to note that there is always something you can do or someone who can help you should you need help.

What is the point of going through this mental process? By confronting your worse anxieties, you can create options and solutions for yourself. This is very self-empowering.

Fear weakens you and makes you feel like a victim. This kind of panic paralyzes you and does not allow you to solve anything. By allowing yourself to face your fears and insecurities, you can begin to see that you actually have more control than you think.

No matter what happens, understand that you are never a victim. You always have the option to take control of your life.

Now take the time to figure out what it is you want in your life. How would you like your marriage to be? Write down everything. Leave nothing out. Write down all your hopes and dreams. Know that you can have anything you want. The place to begin is by defining what it is you are wanting.

Once you have some clarity by voicing your fears and knowing you can cope with them, and by defining exactly what you want, you are in a position to begin a dialogue with your spouse. Let you spouse know what you want and ask your spouse to tell you what he or she wants from this marriage.

At this point, you should have an idea about whether or not your marriage can or should be saved. If you can identify for yourself what you wish for and ask the same of your spouse, you will know how to save your marriage. You can work with your spouse towards keeping your marriage intact rather than ending it. - 29956
