Unlike dating, marriage is a lifetime commitment and giving up on your partner due to marital woes is the hardest thing ever, this is because you've built your life around and with them. A divorce tears apart everything you've built over the years.

No two marriages have the same problems, but some steps can be applied to marital issues. It may not be the solution, but it'll lead to a solution that'll ultimately save your marriage.

Inspired by Marriage.com, here are three steps to prevent marriage troubles

1. Reach a common ground about your problems: What do you and your partner think are the major problems in your marriage? Find out and be on one page about it. Sometimes the problems you see are different, but once it has been said, you and your partner can now move on from that point.

2. Don't be ashamed of asking for external help: External help like marriage counselling would go a long way for couples having marital problems. It isn't an easy task discussing with someone other than a spouse how your marriage is like, but it is a big bold step if you try.

3. No fighting: No calling of names, screaming, throwing things and insults at each other. It doesn't mean your emotions won't be considered in your discussions, just try not to let it overcome you. Stick to calmness during your discussions, nothing has ever been solved by fighting.
