With half of all marriages going bad, couples everywhere are looking for solutions to prevent divorce and keep their marriages going strong. Very often there are common sense solutions that work surprisingly well.

Here are 5 time-honored solutions to prevent divorce and ensure your marriage remains healthy.

• Talk often and about everything: Open and constant communication can build a very strong bond between spouses. Go ahead, share your joys, frustrations, fears, dreams and hopes. Don’t forget to be a good listener for your spouse. The more you communicate and share, the closer you will find yourselves to one another.

• Manage issues early: A very common mistake couples make is to not deal with small problems early,allowing them to fester and grow. Deal with issues and problem areas as soon as they crop up. Don‘t them linger for days or weeks or even months.
• Become your spouses best friend, and vice versa: Very often, best friends can be closer than married couples! So make sure you are your spouses best friend. Be always there for him or her, laugh with them, cry with them, grow old with them.
• Looking attractive for your spouse: Is this important? Do looks matter? The answer is a resounding YES! There’s nothing likae having an attractive spouse to make you proud (and salivate!). Besides, when you make the effort to look good for your partner, you also show him or her how much he or she means to you.
• Allocate alone time for yourselves: Sure, time with the kids is lovely. But alone time for the two of you is more important. Every few weeks, treat yourselves to an evening just for the two of you. Drop the kids off at their grandparents, have a romantic dinner, go smooch in the park, enjoy time with each other. Of all the solutions to prevent divorce, setting aside quality time for one another rates very high on our list.
