“Can EVERY Marriage Be Saved?”
I get asked this quite frequently. And my answer is “No, not every marriage can be saved. But many more can be saved than are.”
Here is what I mean: a solid marriage is created by two people. However, one person can choose to end it for any number of reasons. Sometimes, the reason is good. For example, someone may choose to leave an abusive relationship. Or someone may decide that being married to an addicted person is hurting them too much to stay.
But many times, people end marriages for the wrong reasons: they feel unloved or unaccepted, they think somewhere else or someone else is better, or they think that they have lost love.
These are all issues that can be addressed and solved, and once it is solved, the marriage can even be stronger!
But many people are unaware of another solution. And sometimes, people want to take the “easy way out.” I put that in quotes because in the end, divorce is no easy way out. It just pretends to be.
Marriage takes effort. Marriage takes knowledge. Marriage takes two people willing to let down their defenses, and to join together as a team.
Can every marriage be saved? No. But can YOUR marriage be saved? You won’t know until you give it a try. Learn what you need to in order to save your marriage here.

Ted your are so right, i have given everything i have but it’s just me against his whole family, and now it’s as if we never were. I’m okay with the fact that i have given it my best shot to reconcile, he’s just not responding.

Great post!
Ever since the divorce trend has began, couples don’t give much effort on saving their marriages anymore. It’s like they just sit around and let things happen. But when it’s finally time to face divorce, they put all the blame on each other when the truth is they both didn’t do anything about it. It’s true what you said–not every marriage can be saved but it’s never really over until you give it your best shot.
