It is not uncommon for every marriage to endure at least one trial. Things may become very dark in a marriage with stress added from financial problems, a health crisis, family problems, and many other daily issues that begin to chip away at the foundation of the marriage. A patch of marital strain need not result in divorce. A couple can resurrect the union through communication, dedicating time to share together, and a strong commitment to regain trust, respect, and affection. Some couples find counselling, regular dates, and other methods helpful to get back on track.
每段婚姻至少都会经历一次磨难，这并不罕见。财务危机、健康问题、家庭问题和许多其它开始逐步瓦解婚姻基础的日常问题给人们施加的压力，使得婚姻变得非常黑暗。修补婚姻中的紧张关系不会导致离婚。夫妻可以通过沟通、花时间呆在一起和忠贞不渝的誓言重新在一起、再次获得彼此的信任、尊重和喜爱。有些夫妻觉得咨询、定期约会和其它的方法有助于帮助婚姻重回正轨。
I would never tell a couple to throw in the towel on their marriage just because the relationship begins to lack the former sparkle it had during the new love phase; however, after a point, a relationship is beyond repair, and divorce becomes the best option a couple has.
对于那些觉得自己的感情没有了当初热恋火花的夫妻，我从不建议他们对自己的婚姻认输。然而，过了某个点后，如果这段感情无法修补，那离婚就是最好的选择。
