I'm sorry to hear that. Marriage is a challenging and sometimes difficult journey, but there are things you can do to improve your relationship. First, make sure you're communicating openly and honestly with each other. Talk about how you feel, what's going well and not so well, and work together as a team to find solutions. 2 Second, practice positive communication. Instead of focusing on the negative, look for the good in your partner and yourself.3 Third, focus on understanding each other's perspectives. Try to see things from their point of view and be open-minded. 4 Fourth, show respect for each other. Respecting your spouse doesn't mean giving them everything they want all the time, but rather showing them that you care about them and value their opinions. 5 Finally, try to put effort into making your relationship special. Spend quality time together doing activities you both enjoy, and remember why you fell in love in the first place.
