How can you have more joy in life when your in a bad marriage?

I mean other than leave your husband or until you do how can you make yourself happy..How can you have more joy in life when your in a bad marriage?
The trouble with trying to feel more joy in a life that is telling you you are unhappy is kind of hard to do, right? When your self esteem is taking a hit, as in a bad marriage, there is little you can do to counter that until you are rid of him, then you will feel the noose loosen on your neck, you will feel the happiness slowly seeping back into your life, but I think it's going to be very hard until that time.How can you have more joy in life when your in a bad marriage?
Find joy in the little things. A fine, dark chocolate, a stroll through an art gallery, have a massage. Try to find the beauty in simple things, every day. You don't give much detail, why is your marriage bad? How did that happen, how bad is it, can it be changed? Is he abusive? If the issues in your marriage can be addressed, or at least recognized and understood, you may see steps that can be taken to improve things. If that is the case, then you will find more joy in life. If he is abusive, then you must get out. Joy can be elusive, but peace is essential, and can be healing.
Happiness is truly a choice. You find it by finding yourself. By finding peace in your life. Focus on you . Use the energy of your unhappy marriage to build the happiness of your self. do the things you always dreamed of doing....Listen to the song ';she let herself go'; by george strait.(you tube) When he sings the part...without him in her life...think of being emotionally detached.
You really can't but make sure you take good care of yourself and do what you enjoy the most. Pay yourself with something at the end of the day. It's the only real satisfaction you'll ever have now or in the future since oftentimes you can only really satisfy yourself.
If you're in a bad marriage, you'll feel so miserable that it will drag you down to misery all the time. Do something about the marriage, try to improve the situation with your husband or get a divorce.
Make the marriage better.


You need commitment from both parties to make it happen.


It is unlikely that he is happy if you are not so there is likely motivation for him to change as well.
Well we did it with the help of retrouvaille.org. It is taking a heck of a lot of work though. I also find joy with my friends and life in general.
Yep. You wont be happy until you get out. This person is in your life everyday so everyday you will be unhappy. Thats just how the world turns.
Eat right, sleep right, spend peaceful time with other people. Play, ride a bike, rollerblade, have some wholesome fun.
I really think maybe trying to go to church or going to see a movie and a night out.


Just try to br knder to each other.
