You should both go to the person who you both trust the most, like a clergyman or
maybe a family member if possible. if you have struggled with the problemd they do
have free conseling programs available through churches or other organizations
that do not want a payment in return.

Alot of times if you call a psychologist adn talk to them, tell them that you do not have money to get help, they can either suggest something for you, or they will even adjust their rates! I have had a case where a psychologist lowered his rates by half to help a couple in need! All you have to do is ask! And dont give up on the first one, you may have to call 6 or 7, but you will find someone that can help.
If you are a member of a church, there is lots of help there. Dont be ashamed!
Good luck to you!

Decide to save your marriage. You have to want to listen to each other. Fight fair. Sit across from each other and have one talk, explaining how he or she feels. The other just listens and then restates what he or she heard the other say. Take turns like that. Be honest with each other because you have to trust each other. Do not use bad language on each other at all. That is not fair and it just hurts. It is counter-productive. Take time every day to appreciate each other and say how much you love each other and are committed to the relationship. Sometimes being right isn't enough. Each of you have to be mature enough to give in sometimes. Do not argue in front of the children if you have kids. Don't allow your conversations to turn into yelling matches. I hope this helps.

You do not mention whether the primary problems in your marriage are financial or if you have other issues as well, so I will assume there are various issues involved. There is no quick, easy, painless fix but I do want to recommend one simple thing you can do. There is a book called, The Love Dare, by Stephen and Alex Kendrick which costs anywhere from $8.99 to $15.99 depending on where you buy it. I highly recommend this book as a starting point for you if you want to make your marriage better. If this book does not appeal to you, I am sure there are many books out there which may point you in the right direction so you can improve your marriage. My only other thought would be, as others have mentioned, to talk to your clergyman. Wishing you and your husband healing and happiness.
