Q. How can divorce be prevented?

both the husband and wife should write down their own reasons for getting divorced and discuss the reasons by themselves. This will help them identify what is going wrong in their relationship.

Never ever involve the opposite sex on your problems cos that will never help. I've seen friends telling their marriage problems to the opposite sex( who happens to either be divocee or married) and their marriage ends up in divorce.
If you do have a problem try to sort things out and if it does help seek a professional counsellor.Meeting a counsellor does not mean that your marriege will be over.Somethings they are the best person to help us as they are neutral.

Same advice i posted else where.

READ Dr Phil's book called relationship rescue.

don't wait till your marriage is going to dirt to even read this book. I would recommend everyone who is going to get married or in a relationship/ marriage for a long or short time or planing to, in a Divorce ,please read this book. its the best thing i've read and applied in my life! IT's never too late.

It's hands on and so practical and straight forward. The book is extremely direct. The author makes it clear that you have to first change yourself before you can change you relationship.

All counsellors, marriage courts and this pre-marriage courses should have this book as a guide for couples.

but most cases....U CAN'T...prevent it...
destiny...fate...as it is...
some have the most perfect spouse but marriage still fails...
some cases, they hoped for thgs to chg in marriage...but they dont...
some know their spouse ill-behaviour way before marriage and with love, they hope to repent and mend their ways together in the sacred journey of marriage...and make-believe LOVE will chg the 2nd half...but it go further down the drain after marriage... seems like jerks remain as jerks...
is it wrong to hope for the best? is it naive to think as such? maybe...maybe not...
and definitely going through after that ain't that simple...
professionals say it takes an average of 2-5yrs to let go.. depending on individual...
really really know ur partner inside out might decrease the chances of failure.....
and choosing someone who are strong in religion could decrease the chance of failure either...
we try to analyse as wise as we could...and try our very best to serve each other...
may our partner be our lifetimetime partner till eternity

I believe that one should solve even the tiniest problem that arises as soon as possible in an open communication. Because if it is not solved, it will accumulate and one day u end up with a mountains of problems that just seems so difficult to solve.And "sorry" is a word which is not difficult to say. Dont let both egos get in the way of happy marriage. Hope that helps...
