I need to know how to save a marriage. My brother and my sister in law(his wife) are having real hard marriage problems right now. I don’t think it’s to the point were they are ready to divorce yet but if it continues down this path I think they are going to eventually get divorced. So, I wanted some good advice on how to save a marriage?

My wife and I when we were dating couldn’t seem to go more than a day or two being around each other with out wanting to have sex. We were creative and had fun with it. Now we have been married for almost 7 years and for the past 4-5 of that time we go weeks and sometimes months without having sex or being intimate. I feel like my wife does not want to be with me anymore because when we do get intimate I always have to initiate it…I can not remember the last time she came to me and wanted to be with me sexually. What should or can I do to help the situation?
Some good advice so far but just to help everyone to help me I am a good husband I do what I am asked to do I am very loving and treat my wife like gold…also, I have spoken to her about this and let her know how I feel about it a couple times and things get better for a week or so then it is back to the same old thing. I do not feel I should have to start things up all the time. It makes me feel like I am not wanted or that it is more of a chore than a want.

Lately I’ve been feeling really down, and I don’t feel like I can talk to my family or my friends. And from being on this site I realize it’s much easier to talk to other people you don’t really know then to talk to people you do know, and who know you.

So, I’ve been considering therapy. I’m 14… So maybe it’s normal teenage problems I’m going through, but honestly I don’t like feeling this upset, and I just want someone to rant to, and who can give me good advice.

What do you guys think?
i usually just use music as an escape, but idk.

5 months ago I hired an attorney and filed for a divorce. I gave my attorney ,000 up front (on a credit card) thinking that the divorce would be complicated and therefore expensive. Eight weeks after I filed, my husband finally got the divorce papers. During that eight weeks I made five phone calls to my attorney, each lasting approximately five minutes, asking for advice due to my husband being hostile. During the period that my husband had to respond to the divorce papers, we had reconciled.

I told my attorney that we were going to put mediation on hold and see if we could work out our marriage. Fortunately we were able to. I have left three messages with my attorney’s secretary about a credit to my account for service that we’re never rendered. He will not respond, and she states that there is nothing she can do.

In the meantime I am paying 25% APR on ,000. I’m not sure what his retainer fee was, but the only work he did for me was a financial affidavit and filing divorce papers, and of course the five phone calls.

What should I do. He did give me very good advice through out my hardships and I don’t want to be rude, but this is becoming very upsetting. What do I do?
It has been 3/12 weeks since my first phone call.
I mean 3 1/2 weeks.

It’s been 4 weeks since my first unreturned phone call.

i think this is true .. you are a person who knows how to give good advice or guidance to the people you love in their worse or sad situation but the question is why it is if you are in a situation like them you don’t know how to advice your own self and you want some friends to be there for you to give you advice and guidance to your situation?

Getting married in a week, what’s some good advice for us?

Well, i’m a young woman (21) in a stable relationship. I know i might be too young but lately i have been having baby fever, everywhere i go i see babies and pregnant women. I can’t stop the feeling of wanting to be a mom, i feel ready for it and have knowledge about raising kids (i raised both of my siblings). I’ve talked about having kids to my partner but he doesn’t want to have any kids or get married ever (he had a bad previous marriage). It breaks my heart thinking that i won’t be able to refer to him as "my husband" or have his kids. I’m not pushing the issue because i don’t want to scare him or make him mad. But i really want to become a mother within the next few years i just don’t know how to approach it or tell him exactly how i feel about having a baby.

Any good advice is appreciated.

This sounds kind of weird, but I have a mad crush on my cousin’s best friend. This friend likes my best friend. My best friend has no interest in her but I’m going crazy because I know that I probably will never be able to ask her out due to the fact thar I’m related to her best friend that she has known for ten years. My cousin doesn’t like me liking her friend but she is the perfect person for me. Can you give me some good advice for what I should do?

I need some advice!!! I’ve been married for 7 yrs. Got married later in life and married someone who was married twice before. I realize now, he doesn’t know what marriage is about. I am totally unhappy – he doesn’t communicate or connect with me. It is as if he just got married so he wouldn’t be alone and needs to be taken care of. I’ve tried 2 marriage counselors and many talks but I’m frustrated. I gave up a lot for this marriage and I feel completely empty and scared. Any good advice. I’m open to all answers.
