Finding extra money to payoff debt can be the most difficult task.  But, this statistic I recently heard can certainly make a dent in those pesky debts.

I recently heard a number that somewhat surprised me.  And truthfully, I heard it in passing on television, so I am not going to guarantee the fact or the source, but the general idea was that the average American family has $2,200 in personal belongings just lying around the house that are never used.  Actually, I know several families that probably have much more, but we are using averages here.  Just think about all the:

If your marriage is suffering because of your bad habits, just the fact that you’re willing to admit your flaws and work to fix them will make a huge difference - because it shows how much you care! Find out what to do when your bad habits are ruining your marriage!

Sometimes, bad marriages happen to good people. Okay, that’s not a fair statement - just because you’re having problems, that doesn’t mean that your marriage is “bad.”

Any number of things can contribute to relationship difficulties - boredom, time issues, the stress of raising children, and money troubles can all contribute to marital troubles.

Over 60% of remarriages end in a re-divorce. Just let that one sink in a minute. It’s a scary statistic. If you’re like most people, you just read that and thought, “Yeah, but that’s not us.” Let me stop you right there. If you’re preparing to remarry, it IS you! You do run a higher likelihood of getting a divorce than of having a successful remarriage.

I don’t mean to sound real negative. I just want to make sure you’re being realistic. Living in a fantasy world of denial doesn’t help you prepare for the challenges that await you.

Affairs are the number one reason marriages break up. When asked what went wrong with her marriage, Princess Diana said, “There were three of us in the marriage.” What happens when there are three in a relationship that is meant only for two? The answer is obvious. The relationship breaks apart.

I am certainly no expert on marriage, but I would like to share some lessons that I have learned from being married to my husband, Bobby, for 38 years. Throughout those 38 years we have experienced different stages of happiness in our marriage. I believe that those stages can be related to a person’s life.

In saving a troubled marriage, it is very advantageous to have both partners work together. But this is not always the case. If you need to save your marriage and your partner is not cooperative, what do you do?

What You Can Do

Firstly examine what is wrong with the marriage. Speak to your partner to find out his or her point of view. What is your partner unhappy about? Even if the reason for the troubles is an affair, it is only a symptom. Why or how did the affair start in the first place? Finding the root cause of the marriage breakdown is the first step.

There is no doubt that weddings have become costly events. Traditionally, in Western culture, the bride’s family would cover the cost of the wedding day celebrations but this is not always the case in modern times. Whoever is paying for the wedding, a budget needs to be agreed and adhered to if stressful situations and arguments are to be avoided.

As part of the wedding planning process decisions will need to be made around money. Who can and will pay for what needs to be agreed. This is the basis for the wedding budget. Once a budget figure has been settled the rest of the wedding can be planned within that spending budget.

It is important for all married people to be able to detect the signs of infidelity in their spouse. It is more difficult to catch cheating women red handed, than catching cheating men because women are very cautious by nature and tend to leave behind no signs of their infidelity. If at all a husband confronts his wife (with or without conclusive proof) she will first shed tears to drown her husband and as if this was not enough, she will pour out a stream of lies (such as this is my friend, almost like my brother, blah, blah, blah) which is enough to make her husband remorseful and force him to regret and apologize to her for ‘daring to misjudge her chastity’.
