How to get back together with your wife who wants a divorce

Family relationships can last for many years, which means that no couple is immune from periods of crisis bordering on divorce. Does your wife want a divorce? In such situations, an experienced psychologist who knows exactly the reasons for the deterioration of relationships, as well as ways to improve them, can help.

Let's talk in more detail about how to improve relations with a wife on the verge of divorce, what mistakes a man should not make, and also about the rules of behavior for preserving the family.

Reasons for disagreement

It is easy to destroy a family, but it is not always possible to build new relationships. Therefore, many people become afraid at the thought of having to separate from their spouse. Even when it is absolutely clear that the union cannot be saved, many try to save the marriage to the last.

There are often cases when living together is impossible. To annoy their other half, people are looking for all sorts of loopholes on how to prevent a divorce. A lawyer will help you find out all the details in which cases a divorce is not granted. You need to seek advice or study the information yourself.

Talking with your wife about divorce and preparing for it

From the moment you decide to divorce, you need to start preparing for a serious conversation with your wife. The situation will be aggravated by the presence of common property. If there is one, then you should first consult with a lawyer, and only then start a conversation.

Make a rough conversation plan in your head. If your spouse is too emotional, have the conversation in a public place so that she doesn’t start a scandal again.

The help of a psychologist will not be superfluous, especially if the woman is prone to depression and you are sure that the news of the divorce will come as a shock to her.

It's not just women who have difficulty talking about ending their marriage. It is also difficult for men to admit faded feelings to their other halves. The following tips will help representatives of the stronger sex get in the mood for a conversation with their wife:

• If you have firmly decided that it is time to get a divorce, do not delay the conversation. Think about how to present everything in such a way as not to upset or humiliate the woman.
• When talking, do not show your negativity. Say that you are tired of the relationship, that the old feelings have faded, and you no longer want to torment yourself and her.
• Speak about your intention directly: “I want a divorce! Don’t delay, don’t present the news with streamlined phrases (maybe I was thinking, probably). This will only give the woman a reason to think that all is not lost.
• Psychologists advise reporting your desire to get a divorce at lunchtime. Telling her about this in the morning will ruin the whole day. The evening is also not suitable for such conversations, because it takes time to calm down.
• When the divorce takes place, you and your wife should talk to your children and explain that you will live separately, but this will not make you love them less and spend less time with them.

Refusal to divorce

Can a wife refuse to give a divorce? Yes maybe. The law is on the woman’s side in such cases:

• pregnancy;
• presence of a child under one year of age;
• death of a baby during childbirth.

In these situations, the husband does not have the right to file for divorce until a year has passed since the birth. In the event of the death of a child during childbirth, a joint filing of an application for divorce with the registry office is possible. But in the case of pregnancy or the birth of a living child, divorce is possible only in court. So the man will have to wait for the expiration of the period when he can dissolve the marriage. But a wife, even under such circumstances, can divorce without the consent of her husband.

Legal points: what can a husband do to prevent his wife from getting a divorce?

Divorce for a woman is almost always a very difficult step, including from a psychological point of view.
Has your wife filed for divorce? This means she must have a reason. In 41 cases out of 100, “dissimilarity of characters” is cited as a justification; 13.5% of wives get divorced due to their husbands’ addiction to alcohol or drugs, but there are other reasons. “They didn’t get along” - this is the reason most often given by spouses who want to dissolve the marriage in their application. Under this general phrase, many individual characteristics can be hidden - from a discrepancy in the rhythms of life to sexual incompatibility. If the wife dreams of becoming a mother, and the husband is not ready to have a child, then she will enter exactly this justification.

A woman can meet her new love while legally married. Of course, such situations are not approved by modern society and are considered immoral, but in fact they occur.

Many modern couples find themselves unprepared for family life. Perceiving marriage as a continuation of a romantic relationship, young wives and husbands often forget about the other side of marriage - cooking, washing, cleaning, washing dishes and other not very inspiring things. Modern women are often not ready to devote themselves to everyday life - this deprives them of self-realization, hence the increase in the number of broken marriages.

When a woman, in addition to her main job, is entrusted with all the responsibilities at home plus raising children, and her husband does not take any part in this, it is not surprising that she wants to leave. This elementary desire is dictated by two feelings - fatigue and underappreciation, and sometimes there is simply not enough strength for love.

Boredom is not the most common reason for divorce, but about 5% of women cite a lack of thrill when filing for divorce. If before the wedding the wife lived an active life - traveled, did extreme sports, or could suddenly go to another city for a concert of her favorite musical group, and in marriage everything came down to the “home - work” scheme, she will become bored.

A lack of thrills can appear even in a woman who, at first glance, is not at all inclined to extreme sports - each person produces adrenaline in different situations, and the same can be said about endorphins. Perhaps the spouse does not need skydiving and diving with sharks, but she misses sweet surprises, an unexpected bouquet of flowers or an invitation to her favorite cafe.

If the spouse turns out to be an alcoholic, drug addict, or has a habit of resolving all issues using physical or moral violence, this is the most compelling and serious reason for divorce. Alcohol or drug addiction, as well as tyranny on the part of the husband, threatens the health and life of the wife, so separation remains the most effective way for her to protect herself and her children.

We suggest you read: If you are stopped without a warning

Not a single psychologist will give such advice that will help save a family with a 100% guarantee. It all depends on the specifics of the specific situation. In general, if a wife filed for divorce, and the husband does not want a divorce, but reconciliation, then he needs to first find out what the reason for this decision is. Having identified the problem, you can already take measures to correct the situation.

It is very rare for a woman to file for divorce suddenly and unexpectedly. Wives always try to convey to their spouses the idea that they are not happy in their marriage. Some people talk about problems directly, but there are also those who prefer to hint subtly. If a spouse ignores such signals, the risk of divorce increases.

Often, to understand the root of the problem, just talking is enough. If the wife is determined, she is unlikely to refuse to explain why she wants to end the marriage. If talking about divorce is the last warning with which a woman tries to draw her husband’s attention to the problem and try to solve it together, dialogue will be the first step towards saving the family.

Modern men (and women too) rarely know how to admit their mistakes. Society functions in such a way that a person first of all thinks about who to shift responsibility to, so as not to take it upon himself. If there is a problem, and both spouses diligently blame each other, it will not be possible to solve it, then the marriage is doomed.

If your spouse says: “You don’t pay attention to me, I want a divorce,” you don’t need to answer sharply, “I’m tired, I’m busy, I want to rest.” When a wife complains that she is exhausted by everyday life, the worst solution is to give examples from the Middle Ages or compare her with “good” wives (a grandmother who worked in a factory during the war and raised five people, or a friend who succeeds both in the kitchen and at work, and in bed).

When the reason that pushed the wife to divorce is known, and the husband admits that this is his fault, it’s time to take active measures to save the marriage and correct the current situation. What to do? You’ll have to come up with a “rescue plan” yourself or... turn to your spouse for help. A woman is unlikely to refuse to help in such a situation. Psychology gives the following advice:

• share household chores with your spouse (but not for 1 week or month, but on an ongoing basis);
• organize a joint vacation;
• show care and attention, give compliments and small surprises (the ideal option is to remember the beginning of the relationship; perhaps the techniques that helped win her heart will help keep her close to her husband);
• take responsibility for financial support (if a wife has to constantly borrow money or take on part-time jobs while her husband watches TV shows or sits at the computer, she will think about whether she needs such a marriage);
• get rid of bad habits - such a step will help preserve not only your marriage, but also your health;
• diversify your sex life, etc.

The reasons why women take such a difficult step are different:

1. Material (debts, lack of own housing, etc.);
2. Behavioral (betrayal, frequent minor quarrels, misunderstandings, etc.);
3. Psychological (jealousy, lack of sex or dissatisfaction with a partner, loss of feelings, etc.).

Often, men do not notice the critical point in a relationship until the spouse raises the issue head-on and files for divorce.

And here the spouse begins to puzzle over how to save the family and what happened, what are the real reasons?

We suggest you read: If you have received a court notice for non-payment of rent

The husband must show the attention and patience of his wife; she herself will most likely admit the truth of the reasons for the decision made or will make it clear unambiguously what is wrong in the family.

There is no need to put pressure and blame her for the failure of your family, thereby trying to justify yourself. This behavior escalates the situation and reinforces her desire to get a divorce.

Can a man legally prevent a divorce?

But even the absence of the husband’s approval for divorce will not become an obstacle to making a decision, since the law provides for a unilateral divorce procedure (a very sensible article, be sure to read it!).

The only thing the husband can do is to ask the court to give a period for reconciliation, citing the fact that he intends to save his family. This is exactly what lawyers advise.

In this case, especially if there are children, the court suspends the consideration of the case and gives a conciliation period of three months. If during this conciliation period the husband does not convince his wife to change the decision, he will not have the opportunity to postpone the decision.

So that later in a hurry you don’t torment yourself with questions of saving your family, you shouldn’t forget here and now that there may not be a second chance. A family is the same as a job where there are no vacations, days off or sick leave.

Deadline for reconciliation

If one of the spouses does not strive to maintain the relationship, the law will not be able to prevent this. The defendant will only gain time, which the judge will have to think about the decision. The main thing is to convince the judge that family relationships can still be saved. The maximum period for reconciliation set by the court is up to three months. During this period, you can try to improve your family life. Although in most cases, a temporary delay only delays the divorce process. The couple will still be divorced if one party insists on it.

What to do if you don't want to leave

Marriage is a mutual work of two people, therefore, regardless of the reasons that led to the issue of divorce, one of the partners is not ready for the accompanying changes and does not agree. To save your marriage, speak loudly and openly about this at the hearing.

After this, the judge will suspend the process for up to three months. Within a specified time, spouses are given time to resolve the conflict and refuse to dissolve the union. If the conflict cannot be resolved, a trial date is set.

Dissuade your wife

To change the opinion of your wife who has submitted documents to the registry office, act quickly and decisively. Four steps to dissuade your wife from divorce:

1. Remind her of a time when you had a good time together. Memories of past youth and romantic courtship will touch the gentle female soul.
2. Don't skimp on beautiful deeds. A bouquet of flowers, a restaurant or favorite cafe, a romantic dinner will not improve the situation, but they will smooth out the conflict and show the wife a desire to change.
3. Demonstration of changes. To show that a future together is possible, show yourself in an unexpected way. Real actions will help, for example, giving up alcohol or smoking for a month, changing your job to an option with a higher salary, but it is important to keep this promise.
4. Willingness to find a compromise. This will require patience for frank conversations in private or a trip to a psychologist.

By going through the stages step by step, the couple will strengthen their feelings and find mutual understanding. However, this will require a man’s determination and willingness to change.

Convince your husband

If a young man initiated the divorce, you need to prove to him that his decision is wrong. To do this, find out the reason why the divorce documents ended up in the registry office:

1. My wife stopped paying attention to her appearance. Due to excess weight gain after childbirth and a home lifestyle, women lose their attractiveness. To restore the union, you will need to show your best side. A beautiful outfit, makeup, hair styling and erotic lingerie will help prove that a woman is not hopeless.
2. The woman does not pay attention to the man. Sometimes the wife takes responsibility for financing the family, caring for children and household needs, so there is no time left for romance and courtship. The abandoned husband feels disappointed. In this case, it is worth helping your wife, freeing her from a number of responsibilities in order to give her some rest and spend time together. However, such a step must be agreed upon jointly.
3. Female infidelity. It happens in 30% of families. However, in this case, restoring the relationship does not depend on the wife, since the decision is made by the man. If the offense can be forgiven, then unification will come soon.

Knowing the methods of how to definitely prevent divorce, people who love each other will take actions to prevent the union from breaking down.

Absence from court hearing

To delay the judge’s decision to end the marriage, you may not appear at court hearings. But to do this, it is necessary to present evidence of a valid reason why the defendant did not appear in the courtroom, for example, a certificate from the hospital or a document about a long business trip. The judge will set a hearing for another date.

Absence without a good reason will also delay the process, but not for long. After two hearings, the judge will divorce the spouses unilaterally.

There is another way to get a delay - to require the presence of witnesses. There must be good reasons for this that need to be argued. If witnesses do not appear, the judge will adjourn the hearing. This option will only work once, since the law does not require the presence of witnesses.

Another interesting option is filing a claim “in advance” and then repeatedly failing to appear. The fact is that if you appear in the case in the procedural status of a defendant, then your repeated failure to appear will become the basis for a divorce decision to be made in your absence. But if you are a plaintiff, then your absence will first lead to the postponement of the hearings, and then to the closure of the proceedings. The Law does not provide for any punishment for the plaintiff’s failure to appear one, two, or even three times; moreover, after the case is closed, you can immediately file a new statement of claim and resort to the same tactics. Postponing a divorce indefinitely using this method will not work - sooner or later, or the court will apply penalties to you for contempt of court (avoidance from attending meetings, recognized as malicious, can lead to just such consequences, and since specific criteria for malicious absenteeism are not spelled out in the Law, then it all depends on the patience of the judges considering the case), or a good lawyer will help the second spouse file a counterclaim and have it considered at the same time as yours, but it’s quite possible to win a few extra months this way.

Do not forget that you can appeal the decision to close court proceedings on your claim. Of course, the appellate court will confirm the validity of the judge’s verdict to dismiss the case due to your failure to appear - but this will allow you to extend the divorce for several more months.

How to behave if you managed to save your family

If your spouse has given up the desire to file for divorce, giving you the opportunity to save the family, now both of you are faced with the difficult task of rebuilding a new relationship model. Try to change your attitude towards your spouse, as well as:

• start changing yourself, get rid of bad habits, engage in personal growth, this will make her respect you even more;
• speak frankly about your and her vision of an ideal marriage, find a middle ground and ways to achieve such a result;
• bring romance into the relationship, without which it is impossible to restore a marriage in principle, invite you on dates, arrange pleasant surprises;
• create a favorable environment, you can go on a trip or to a resort to update your emotional background, or make renovations in your apartment;
• find joint hobbies to strengthen your relationship, emotional attachment, and partnership.

Learn to communicate constructively, that is, not only to correctly express your thoughts, but also to hear a woman. Try to convince her that a new format of relationship is possible, prove it in practice. Let her return be the impetus for you to make drastic changes.

Goals of deferment

After the official dissolution of marriage, property relations between spouses are terminated. Therefore, there are cases when a spouse may, for selfish purposes, look for ways

How to prevent your wife from getting a divorce in court:

1. In order not to lose the right to inheritance if it is foreseen in the near future.
2. To gain time and gain an advantage in the matter of division of property. In this case, the second spouse should contact a good lawyer. He will help you defend your legal rights to common property.

What else is worth paying attention to?

Divorce is a complex process that is not easy, primarily in moral terms. Advice from a psychologist on how to tell your wife about a divorce is one thing, but there are many more nuances that should also be taken into account:

• Divorce is no joke; you should not use the threat of divorce to get some kind of behavior you want from your spouse. Don't teeter on the edge, it could end up working against you.
• Telling your wife about divorce if you have a child is more difficult. But you shouldn’t ignore children either; they deserve an explanation too. It is important for them to know: no one is to blame for what happened, especially themselves. We need to prove to them that the attitude of both parents towards their children will not change in any way.
• Telling your wife about a divorce that you fell in love with another is a big blow for a woman, so never resort to blackmail and threats. A man must do everything to resolve the issue peacefully. Threats will only make matters worse and will not make anyone better.
• Also, excessive aggression can lead to the fact that a divorce will have to be obtained unilaterally, and this is much more difficult. Therefore, try to make your spouse meet you halfway.

Do not tolerate humiliation and insults from your spouse. If she begins to cross all boundaries, it is better not to even try to waste time on any explanations.

Methods of reconciliation

To avoid the dissolution of a marriage, drastic measures must be taken.

Mostly wives want to divorce for standard reasons:

• husband earns little;
• abuses alcohol;
• takes drugs;
• does not pay attention to family;
• there is interference of relatives in the personal lives of spouses;
• treason;
• sadism;
• lack of romance, gifts, compliments.

If a man wonders whether it is possible not to give a divorce to his wife, it means that he wants to save the family. There is not much time for reconciliation. We need to use these months as efficiently as possible - try to correct the situation and start the relationship from scratch. In any situation you need to fight for your family. It's better to try to do something than to sit idly by.

If circumstances do not change, then you will have to come to terms with the inevitability of a painful divorce procedure. If you are not sure that you can survive it without negative consequences, you should seek help from a psychologist and hire a good lawyer.

How to talk about divorce and not remain enemies for life?

Deciding to divorce is very difficult, especially when you and your wife have been tied together for many years together. But tormenting yourself for the sake of illusory hopes of renewing your former passion is not the point. Left with your unloved wife, you will experience daily moral suffering and will not be able to give her family happiness. Therefore, the best way to solve the problem is to talk about divorce. Only this conversation should be carried out sensibly and in order, which will minimize stress and come to a mutual agreement. How to tell your wife about divorce correctly? Follow our proven algorithm:

1. Consider your decision. Remember that at the registry office you promised to be together in sorrow and in joy. If you are currently experiencing a bad streak in your relationship, then there is a high probability that it will soon change to a white one. When deciding to break off a relationship, you must clearly understand that final separation is the only way out in this situation. Play through all the possible consequences of divorce several times in your head. If you and your wife recently had a big fight, think about whether this conflict could cause negative emotions and provoke you to think about divorce? Perhaps after a while you will cool down and realize that you rushed to make a decision. Listen to the voice of reason, otherwise you may regret the words spoken in a fit of anger.
2. Predict your wife's reaction. What kind of person is your spouse? There are very emotional ladies who can heat you with a frying pan out of anger and resentment. If you realize that your wife will react too impulsively to information about the impending divorce, you should think through your final speech even more carefully and choose words and expressions during the conversation. Does your spouse love you very much and has a hard time with conflicts? In this case, think about whether she will do something to herself after the news about the imminent separation? If you feel that your wife has even the slightest suicidal tendencies, you need to very carefully prepare her for divorce and act slowly. In such a situation, time and careful attitude will help you save the life and health of the person, as well as relieve you of the feeling of guilt for the tragedy that happened. Are you afraid of violent hysteria? Write a letter to your wife and hand it to her at home. Let her read it in your personal presence. There is a chance that this method of presenting information will prevent an explosion of emotions, and the woman will take the news of the divorce more calmly.
3. Have the divorce conversation at home. A hastily sent SMS or phone call is not the best way to convey your decision to your spouse. You should also not meet on neutral territory. There will be strangers around, in front of whom you need to restrain yourself so as not to catch puzzled and condemning glances. Think how difficult it will be for her to suppress her emotions in a strange environment! And getting home after shocking news is quite a challenge! Be respectful of her feelings, because, most likely, your spouse will be very upset and depressed. Therefore, it is better to personally tell your wife about your desire to separate at home, listen to everything she tells you, support her and let her express her grief from the destruction of her family. Choose an evening after work, or even better, have the conversation before the weekend. Be a gentleman, think about the fact that your wife needs to come to her senses after the news of an imminent divorce and gather her strength. And an extra couple of days before the work week will help the wife meet her new single life with dignity.
4. Don't blame her when voicing a decision. In family discord, both partners are always to blame. And no matter how much you would like to throw out all the accumulated negativity on your spouse, you should not do this. Obviously, you will hear similar reproaches in response. Believe me, after a separation, the wife herself, after some time, realizes what exactly she did wrong. And now she will be very hurt and upset. Perhaps your spouse will even see you as a traitor. Accept her statements, because she is now much worse off than you. Be a man, do not blame your wife for all mortal sins. Understand that this makes no sense, since you have already decided to go free swimming. Do not finish off a woman with whom you shared grief and joy. Try to separate without reproaches and scandals, although this is undoubtedly very difficult.

Women's self-esteem is a fragile thing. If you don’t want to ruin your spouse’s life, on the eve of the divorce, try not to blame her for all the troubles. Take some of the blame on yourself, say your mistakes out loud. Then your ex-wife will not develop complexes, will quickly come to her senses and regain personal happiness.

1. Try to maintain friendly relations with your wife. You should not make enemies for yourself, especially in the person of your ex-wife. There’s a lot that binds you together, and it’s stupid to part ways, hating each other to the core. Tell her that despite the breakup, you are always ready to help in a difficult situation. To remain friends with your ex-wife, you need to be a skilled speaker, but we are sure that you will cope with this task with ease. It is especially important to have a friendly relationship with your ex-spouse if you have children. Children need to see that their parents have mutual understanding, even if they do not live together. Grit your teeth and fight to maintain your friendship even after divorce. It may not seem like a good idea now, but after a while you will thank yourself for your wisdom.
2. Be confident in your decision. “How can I tell my wife that I want a divorce if she immediately bursts into tears and promises that now everything will be perfect with us?” - this question worries many men who cannot stand women’s suffering. Indeed, it is difficult to cope with emotions and not agree to give your spouse a second chance when you see how upset she is by the news of the upcoming separation. But you have already thought it over, weighed it and made a decision, so you shouldn’t back down from it. People don't change, and love won't happen again because of your spouse's efforts. Think about the fact that you will not find happiness in your personal life by stepping on the same rake. Be confident in yourself and your decision and do not deviate from your intended goal. If, after talking about divorce, you still have doubts about the correctness of your choice, try to separate from your spouse at least for a while. This way you will understand for sure whether you miss her, and maybe, from a distance, you will become even more confirmed in your decision to get a divorce.

The number of divorces in our country is increasing every year. And this situation does not characterize the standard of living in Russia from the best side. Not everyone can survive a crisis in relationships against the backdrop of material and housing problems. Don't blame yourself and your wife for the fact that the family fell apart. There is a possibility that you met each other for a reason, but to gain invaluable experience of family life, albeit negative. Thank your spouse for all the good things that happened between you, and get ready for the divorce process.

Preventing family breakdown in the presence of children

If there are children in the family and the husband is a good father, then there is also a pressing question: is it possible not to give a divorce in this situation? If there are disagreements regarding financial support and living arrangements for children, the marriage will be dissolved only after the disputes are resolved. The judge's decision will be influenced by the facts and evidence presented. Emotional reasons will not be taken into account. In most cases, permission to live and raise a child is given to the mother. In some situations, the court may order the child to live with his father,

If:

• the mother leads an immoral lifestyle;
• is unable to support the child financially;
• There are no proper conditions for keeping children.

The court takes into account the rights of children first and foremost. But you shouldn't manipulate them. Spouses are given a period of time to think it over. During this time, it is better to find a compromise. After all, divorce is stressful for a vulnerable child’s psyche.

Talking with your husband about divorce and preparing for it

If a woman is mentally ready for a divorce and has firmly decided to take this step, then all that remains is to tell her once-beloved husband this news. However, news of a divorce can cause a surge of negative emotions.

If a man does not want to let go of the woman he loves, then it is likely that he will begin to put obstacles in her way. Therefore, before a serious conversation, it is important to collect all the documents that may be required during the divorce process.

From the very beginning you need to tune in to a calm conversation. Quarrels and scandals will never bring the desired result.

It is best to talk about divorce without children. For a child, this can become a real psychological trauma.

If he remembers that conversation, then later in life he may blame his mother for the fact that the family broke up because of her.

The conversation should be conducted only in a sober state. This way, the woman will not only save her face, but will also not be forced to start the same conversation again, but now sober. You need to prepare for the fact that a man may begin to swear eternal love, promise to change, or, conversely, begin to threaten, blaming his beloved for everything. In this case, you need to learn to defend your position.

If your partner asks you to postpone this conversation and give him time to think, then you will have to return to discussing the issue of divorce again and again.

A man may react violently to the news and start screaming and making trouble, but, no matter what, a woman needs to remain calm. If the husband is overly emotional, then it is better to have such a conversation in a public place.

Before a divorce, it is advisable for a woman to stock up not only with patience, but with money for the first time. During the divorce process, your husband is unlikely to provide for you.

In order for him to give his consent to the divorce, you need to be not only persistent, but also confident in the decision made. Speak about your intentions firmly and confidently, letting the man know that you do not intend to back down, but you should not conduct a dialogue with anger and aggression. This behavior will give rise to a backlash, and instead of peaceful negotiations, a big scandal will break out.

If your man is tyrannical and can easily hit a woman, then it is better to report the divorce by phone. Why put yourself in danger again?

Quick divorce

The easiest way to end a relationship is the mutual desire of the spouses and a jointly submitted application to the registry office. This option is possible if the spouses do not have children under 18 years of age and there are no property disputes. First, a delay will be given to ensure that the decision is correct. If both spouses do not change their minds, the union will be officially dissolved. In case of reconciliation, the couple can withdraw the application and continue to live in an official marriage.

Let's look at what to do and how to get a divorce if you don't get a divorce.

Useful advice from psychologists

To help spouses who have decided to file for divorce, techniques are available that can either save the relationship or get through a difficult moment easily. A psychologist’s advice can become “magical”; after applying it in practice, the effect is immediately visible.

Get away from boredom

Family relationships can turn into a routine if you do not periodically introduce variety. Invite your wife for a romantic dinner at your favorite restaurant or for a picnic outside the city. If you both like active activities, choose a trip to an amusement park or spend a weekend rafting down a mountain river. It is important that spouses spend time together and communicate, despite the conflict.

Carrot and stick

If you can come to an agreement, spouses can introduce a useful skill into everyday life. A method that allows you to reward actions, but express dissatisfaction if necessary. The main feature of this habit in relationships is the absence of “mirroring”: if the wife did not like that her husband did not wash his plate, she calmly expresses the reason for her dissatisfaction. In response, the woman does not hear insults, resentment or dissatisfaction. If the husband makes tea for two, the wife expresses gratitude. Voicing emotions helps to understand each other, and also teaches you to clearly formulate the reasons for your bad mood.

Don't mix home and work

When spouses return from work, they forget that they have come to a place where there are no enemies, so they do not have time to adapt to a friendly and calm mood. Because of this, aggression and unexpressed grievances to colleagues “pour out” on family members. To prevent this from happening, psychologists advise performing a simple exercise: stop for 10-15 seconds in front of the front door of the house, take a deep breath and exhale deeply. This will free you from negativity.

The marital bed is sacred

Spouses who have been married for more than three years, in order to maintain normal relationships, agree on a schedule for their sexual life. According to statistics, this age of the family corresponds to the crisis. In order to prevent negativity from entering the marriage and save the union, the couple finds out the number of evenings for playing together that is acceptable for both. Regardless of the events that occurred during the day, the agreement is respected. If your wife feels that she is not ready, offer a new scenario or item that will add spice to the upcoming event.

Respect for your spouse's parents

Divorce statistics show that in 35% of marriage dissolutions, disrespect for the partner's parents was cited as a contributing cause. If this happens in the union, change the situation. It will not be possible to rewrite the past, but it is within human power to start with the present. Stop insulting, don’t mention third parties in scandals, even if you want to say something offensive. If opportunities allow, make peace with your spouse’s parents and ask for forgiveness.

Division of labor

In 95% of couples who file for divorce, the trend is for the wife to work and perform household responsibilities. If there are children, then checking lessons also falls on fragile shoulders. To understand how to avoid divorcing your wife, help her by taking on some of the responsibilities. Wash the floors and dishes, sweep, peel vegetables for soup or side dish. Even a little support will be nice.

If both want to save the relationship

If both spouses in a couple are opposed to divorce, there is a 99% chance of saving the relationship, because in this case the wife and husband are ready to compromise. Sit down at the negotiating table, discuss what you don’t like, make a decision. Sometimes one heart-to-heart conversation is enough to find the root of the problem. If you can’t do this on your own, seek help from a psychologist or sexologist.

If one spouse wants a divorce

A unilateral divorce is possible in Russia, but if the second spouse is against it, the court will compromise, allowing time for reconciliation. However, this needs to be communicated openly and directly. The child is also considered an important circumstance. If the marriage produces common children, the divorce process will take longer. During the time allotted by the authorities for reconciliation, do everything to prevent her from making a mistake.

There are several ways to avoid divorce, but each will require sincerity, a bit of perseverance and determination. Otherwise, ending the relationship cannot be avoided.

Divorce in court

If filing an application through the registry office is impossible due to the refusal of one of the parties, then the judicial authority will divorce the spouses. You must file a claim at the defendant’s place of residence. In some cases, consideration of the claim is possible at the place of residence of the applicant - this is facilitated by the plaintiff’s health problems, his location in another city, or the presence of a small child living with him.

To begin the divorce process, the following documents are submitted:

• application in two copies;
• photocopy of passport and marriage registration certificate;
• documents for minor children;
• documentation for common property;
• check for payment of state contribution.

Depending on the circumstances, additional paperwork may be required.

How to prepare your wife for divorce?

The question of how to tell your wife about divorce is not the most difficult; it is much more difficult to accept the consequences. Not every woman can peacefully accept your decision and file for divorce, especially if she has minor children. If your decision is final and cannot be appealed, then it is time to gather your will and prepare for a serious conversation with your still wife.
