Can I save my parents relationship?

My parents are already showing some signs of a troubled marriage according to the article that I've read. Is there anything I can do to help them save their relationship? I don't want them to end up getting a divorce. Please help.

  • the best thing? sorry, but its probably to stay out of it!
    they are adults, they will decide whats best for them... and as horrible as it might be to adjust for you (and any other family) if that happens to end in a divorce then so be it, there really is nothing you can do,
    i learnt sometime ago that you cant force people to stay together....

    harsh but true (and sorry, didnt read the article, I dont click random links ;))

    I agree with Curious George's comments - you are best to stay out of it but let them know that you are there for them both.

    You don't say how old you are, or if you are still living with them?

    Why do you want them to stay together if they are not happy?

    Is this a genuine post or an advert?!?

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    I just seemed a bit odd to stick a link in, and it's a new member with just one post, hence i thought it might be an advert... I don't do clicking links! too risqué at work... :-o
