Whose ring is it anyway? What to do if marriage goes South?

As adolescents, we often heard from experienced people that marriage is a nine-day wonder. But it is phase when our brain takes a back seat and our Mills and Boon fed heart thinks everything goes like in those romances. Its only when this prized relationship goes wrong, that we realize that marriage is much more than those paperback romances. There are options like talking with friends who are already married, discussing with parents and these days, there is another help called marriage counseling. 

While these things can help to an extent, but nothing would work out till we understand the problem ourselves, stand up to take responsibilities of the factors that eventually lead to a problematic marriage and then act accordingly. Communication gap is a major problem these days. Primarily, both husband and wife rarely spent time together. They spend more productive time with their colleagues rather than with each other. As a result they discuss the problems with them instead of doing it with each other. However, if you want your marriage to work, talk to your spouse first. Try to sort things out with a cool head. Mind it, losing your temper may mean losing all hopes too. 

There are three things that can help you from going your marriage astray- cool head, no drama and get professional help as early as you can. Since divorce is the option that comes with marriage, that certainly does not mean you need it too. Remember it is not your partner who is always at fault. There has been some contribution from your side too. As early as you recognize it, better for your marriage it would be. Here are some time tested approaches followed by many such couples-

Bridge communication gap- As mentioned before; spend more time with your spouse. Talk out the differences. Take an initiative from your side of mentioning positive aspects of the marriage and your relationship. 

Spice up your married life by taking long walks together, planning a vacation, watching a movie or dining together at your favorite joint during dating days. This will help you rediscover each other and you may find your long lost love.

Success of these aspects depend on your keenness to succeed but these formulas will definitely be an earnest attempt to save marriage and restore an amicable relationship even if not like one you shared before.

Unique Proposal Ideas

When the wedding bell rings, only thought that takes the driver’s seat of your life letting take everything else the back seat is how to propose your would be life partner so that land beneath his or her feet gets swept away. So here are some unique proposal ideas which will surely lead you to have a land sliding win over your sweetheart. 

If you believe in ‘Make it Large’ theory and can afford it, publish a full page ad on a leading newspaper, preferably on the front page. This declaration of love from the roof top will surely impress your sweetheart and make this day memorable for the rest of her life. 

If both you and your loved one love adventures, then grab a bottle of champagne along with a bunch of roses and a pretty diamond ring and board a hot air balloon. Make sure your sweetheart does not have any clue about it. Once you leave the land and in the mid-air, propose her in the basket. She will be more than thrilled to accept your love. 

Love scrabbles? Frame the phrase “Marry Me” while a game is on with your loved one.

If the snow outside your house is making you long for your girlfriend, propose her by carving “Will you marry me?” on the frost on the windshield of her car. 

For a cozier, homely yet romantic wedding proposal, stealthily replace her ring that she wears usually with an engagement ring. Her astonishment will fill her up with emotions and will give her consent happily.

If you want to surprise your  girlfriend and propose hilariously, wrap up a huge cardboard box with beautiful paper, attach a card with “A gift to last forever” written on it. Place it on her front door, ring the calling bell and immediately get inside the box. When she opens the box and find you inside, propose her with the ring leaving her even more startled. In that excitement she has to accept your love happily. 

Here comes a cute wedding proposal idea. On her birthday, order another cake with “Marry me” written on it and hand it to her personally. 

Having all said and done; the most romantic and classic way of proposing is still bending down on your knees and offering a beautiful engagement ring, especially a diamond ring. It is time tested formula which makes women go head over heels for their loved ones in that precise moment.
