Hi, this is Stephanie again.
In my last post, I wrote about my futile effort to stop my divorce. I tried many, many things but they didn’t work. Still, do you realize how important it is to know what doesn’t work? Since doing what doesn’t work could make your marriage worse, you had better be aware of what you should NOT do, right?
I am so, so blessed because I finally found a really great resource that taught me the right things to do to avoid divorce.

So, just in case it can help you, here are some of the things I tried that didn’t work, so you know what you shouldn’t do when trying to prevent divorce in your marriage.
1. Figure out the wrong things with the marriage and make things right as rapidly as you can
I wrote out a “what’s wrong list” then did a “to do” list. I then attempted to quickly act and hope to make everything will work out.
2. Begged my husband Darren to deal with our marriage issues together
I didn’t think I should be the only one trying so I pestered him to take responsibility by being involved.
3. Get help from relatives, friends and co-workers
I ask almost everyone I knew for advice. It was mixed, at best — some were helpful, others gave stupid advice, a few suggested giving up and going ahead with divorce.
4. Got counseled
I even did a counseling session with a family counselor but for some reason this didn’t work. (I know why now after reading “Save My Marriage Today”.)
As I said earlier, none of these helped at all. At the time, I couldn’t figure out why. I knew though that unless I could find the right way to stop my divorce, the marriage was well and truly over and I was going to lose him.
