In case your relationship is so bad that it also has landed in divorce court, what are the reasons you would like to stop your divorce? We all know that relationships are never perfect. Some may seem like they are fact is that there are often little things that creep in and cause trouble. If these little things get big enough then divorce is usually the only option left.
And yet, if you need to stop your divorce and try to fix your relationship then more power to you. You will require it. If you really found yourselves right at the brink then you are undoubtedly in need of counseling to put things back together. Do not think you can do this yourself. Receive the help you need and start to get it soon. This is actually the only way you have the ability to work through all the pain and anger that has built up over the past few months or even years.
A good counselor may help you both learn new and much more effective communication techniques. More beneficial communication techniques can lead to more understanding of one another's faults and foibles. More understanding will lead to resolution of hurt feelings and the beginning of trust and respect returning to your relationship. When trust and respect are restored then anything is possible in your relationship.
My advice to anyone struggling in their marriage is to make an appointment to visit a quality professional counselor or a marriage and family therapist. The main answer why I suggest this is because in general, counselors and therapists are people who deeply want to see marriages and families restored rather than torn apart. If I am looking for someone to help me fix my car, then it is far wiser to get help from an individual who actually believes that cars can be fixed, right? Not surprisingly. This is especially true with marriage. Don't go for help to someone who believes that marriages should end easily and for any reason at all. Go instead to a professional who is trained in giving you wisdom about ways to make your relationship work.
Be cautious though, not to ever put the full blame for the problems in the relationship all on one of you. It involves two to make or break a relationship. Some people may argue that it only takes one person to ruin a relationship however if you simply give it some thought when the problems get big if you both do not address them then the relationship is in deep trouble.
The counselor you decide on can act as a neutral third party to help you go through all of the crap which has paralyzed both of you for so long. The counselor can help try to keep the lines of communication open and keep things moving forward plus keep the fighting to low levels.
