Making Relationships Work is not something that you learn suddenly, it is anything that is learned through wisdom obtained through time. How you act in your ongoing marriage is done through a blend of experiences that were collected through earlier relationships. When something went bad, you made a mental note of it to make sure it didn't happen again. If, on the other hand, you had a great experience, you make note of that and use it in future marriages. Of course everyone makes mistakes, its human nature, and a successful relationship done by working through these mistakes together. No relationship is perfect, despite what the movies would have us believe.
Here's the thing about a relationship: unless someone does something disgraceful such as cheating or something else disgraceful, it is salvageable. Of course you have to want it to be salvageable by both parties. While many people tend to over think things, the two most important aspects of making marriages work is listening and communication. Though these might seem elementary they are really the key composition to a solid infrastructure for your marriage. If you are able to communicate you'll be able to work through just about anything. Most relationships that fail do so because the couple is not able to work through the very basic issues that could be easily fixed by just conversing and listening.
Say your relationship is not working and it's on the border of failure which clearly you both can see. You're relationship only consists of you both battling all the time so breaking up seems a real likelihood. If you want to keep the marriage going some extreme measures need to be taken. There are lots of resources out there including books, cd's, MP3's on relationships, your clergy member, and even family.
You might also want to consider seeing a marriage therapist, someone who can help you with the deeper seeded issues in your relationship; someone who can get you to talk to each other. It may not be pretty, but sometimes there are just some things you won't tell your partner. For some reason, when people are in a structured and calm environment they are willing to talk more. Therapists are also specialists and the good ones who have numerous clients are also well practiced in solving your problems. Possibility are they have seen just about anything so while your problems may seem unique they know just the right technique to use. However, a therapist isn't the magic answer and making marriages work is something that needs to be worked on, but that little bit of help from a professional makes that work a bit easier.
Finally, please remember that making relationships work is anything that takes effort from both people who are working toward a common goal of keeping the relationship going and making it strong. While it may seem cheesy, you don't just need someone you like living with, but someone who is your best friend and will be there for you at all times and often these couples are battle tested from their own ups and downs.
