All relationships are different, but most of them are not like the marriages you see on tv where the wife and husband always agree and never have disagreements. In life marriage is a constant struggle. Before you give up on one another you should at least try to salvage your marriage. There is great marriage counseling Sarasota Florida has to offer. If you live in or near Sarasota you may want to try to find a marriage counselor before you give up on each other.

It is important that you like and trust your counselor so do some research before choosing one. Ask friends and family that you know have been to counseling, they may can recommend someone. You can also look on the internet, a lot of patients will leave feed back on what they thought about the counselor.

Once you find one you think you both like then you make an appointment, and be sure to keep that appointment it is very important that you go. Without help from a marriage counselor your marriage is going to fall apart right in front of you and you wont be able to stop it.

You will be asked a lot of personal questions that you may feel uncomfortable answering like questions about your sex life, and your relationship but you have to be honest with your answers or the therapist can't help you. If one of you had an affair it needs to be talked about even if the spouse doesn't know. This is the best place to talk about something like that.

You can feel free to say anything you want to your spouse while in the office, it is actually healthy to be able to say everything you keep in all the time. Your therapist will probably give you some homework to do between visits. Things like write each other a letter telling each other how it makes you feel when they do certain things.

You will also be asked to use your words instead of yelling at one another. When you get angry or hurt instead of yelling you would say I feel that you don't care about me, or it hurts me when you do not listen to me. The way a couple talks to each other makes a huge difference in a marriage.

A couple that has been married for twenty years or more didn't get that far by talking ugly to each other or yelling. They probably talk to each other with kindness and respect and they listen to one another when one of them is angry about something.

You don't have to scream to be heard. You can be mad and still be heard, you don't have to yell at one another to be heard. If you follow the therapist advice while you are home you may be able to save your marriage. It will take work but isn't it worth the work to stay with the one you love? Just remember how you felt about each other when you first fell in love, don't you want to feel that way again?
