Wives, You Won’t Save Your Marriage By Trying to Change Him

Compromise and changes of heart can solve many of the times we are at odds with our spouse. But what about the times when they can’t? I’ve experienced some of these heart-wrenching, terrifying times in my marriage. I want to share what we did that has enabled us to be closer and more committed than ever. Hopefully these can help you save your marriage from unnecessary stress.

My husband and I have been married for 25 years. We have had a lot of disagreements. The vast majority of them we have been able to resolve. I wanted to build a house with a lot of windows. He wanted to build a house with far fewer windows to save money. So we bought a house that was already built.

#1 Stop trying to change him, it won’t help you save your marriage.

It’s hard not to try to get your husband to stop storing the dirty salmon-caked broiler pan in the oven where it creates a Richter-scale stench by the time you discover it. In truth, I’m still trying to stop my husband from doing this!
