Do you feel like you are at the end of your rope? Do you feel that your only choices are leaving or just accepting that you will always be at odds with your partner?

Have you grown apart?

Are you a workaholic and your partner has issued an ultimatum?

Are you searching for ways to save a marriage?

Whatever the problem with your marriage, read on to find some help.

1. Better communication. A breakdown in communication is one of the worst things that can happen in a marriage. If you are not communicating, no problems can be solved. Your mate may not even realize there is a problem. Try to sit down and have a heart to heart talk.

2. Don't forget romance. It doesn't matter if you have been married for 1 year or 21 years, keep some romance in your marriage. Try surprising your partner with flowers or a small gift "just because."

3. Have fun. Don't spend all day at work and then come home and sit in front of the TV. Plan an outing. Go play mini golf or visit a museum.

4. Don't criticize. This is easier said then done, I know. And this may sound cliche, but try counting to 10 every time you are about to say something critical. And ask yourself, does this need to be said? Is it going to do more harm than good?

5. Make yourself happy. You can never make anyone else happy until you are at peace and happy with yourself.
