Questions to Ask Yourself
Before making any decision, reflect on critical questions:
- Am I willing to forgive past mistakes?
- Is my spouse open to making changes?
- Do I still feel love and care, even under the pain?
- Would divorce truly solve the problems, or just create new ones?
Signs There’s Still Hope
Even if things feel broken, there are encouraging signs:
- Arguments still show emotional investment.
- Both partners care about each other’s well-being.
- You’ve overcome challenges together before.
- There is still affection, even if inconsistent.
Conflict often signals that both people still care — indifference is the true danger.
Red Flags to Consider
There are also situations where saving the marriage may be more difficult:
- Persistent abuse — emotional, physical, or financial.
- Total indifference or refusal to engage in change.
- Repeated betrayal without remorse.
- One partner is already committed to leaving.
