It is up to both of you if you want to save your marriage and stop divorce from happening. Regardless of how bad things seem to have got there is usually something that can be done to retrieve the situation.
Your marriage is an agreement between you and your spouse. If either of you are certain that you no longer want the marriage to continue, then that is the end of it. However, it only takes one of you to rescue the marriage from divorce. It is possible that both parties want to see a resolution to the problems but only one is able to apply the brakes and begin the process of turning things around. You should take whatever measures you can to save your marriage; your spouse will go along with you if that is what s/he really wants.
You should work on saving your marriage as early as you can. Where possible you should avert crises and begin on restoration as soon as warning signs begin to appear. Some of the classic signs are frequent rows or long periods of silence between you and also if it becomes increasingly evident that you have little in common except perhaps a shared roof and family. It is particularly dangerous if either of you have started flirting beyond the marriage even if no affairs have actually started.
In order to prevent divorce, you should act as soon as you are conscious of the danger signals. The first thing to do is to acknowledge to your partner that you have noticed things are going wrong but you love him/her and you want to do everything to restore your former happiness. Then suggest to your partner that you would like to do things together again. Maybe you could join a social or leisure group. If you both share a religious persuasion, you can decide to resume attendance at place of worship or try somewhere new.
You may need help to save your marriage. Do not be afraid to seek professional intervention. You may choose to go for marriage guidance. There are many well-known organizations such as Savemymarriagetoday.com or Relate who specialize in marriage counselling.
If you partner is resistant to the idea, then start it alone. You may be able to convince them later with the help of your counsellor. Taking the initiative may be all that is needed to stop divorce.
