10 Key Marriage Tips for Bipolar

My husband came home from seeing his psychiatrist and he was told most bipolar sufferers don't stay married.  Being married to a man with bipolar I can understand how this happens.  I've observed within my relationship and other relationships that suffer with bipolar what works and what doesn't.  So, from my experience to you.  This is what I've learned.

  • Spirituality is key.  A strong faith can get you far and help so much.  Hay House Radio is a good source that I use for inspiration.
  • www.hayhouseradio.com
  • A spouse that understands your situation.  Reading books that help you understand what they feel is normal and how you act is normal.  I added a book that will help below.
  • Exercise makes a big difference.
  • Taking the right vitamins helps so much.  I've added a link below where I get my vitamins.

  • Getting sleep.  This is a tough one.  A Bipolar sufferer needs their sleep.
  • Giving them their space when they need it, which they seem to need a lot of. 
  • Encourage your partner and show him/her you believe in them no matter what.  Patience!! 
  • Addictions can be an issue.  Don't enable, do what you can to support them to stay off drugs and alcohol.  In my experience these only lead to death by suicide or more extreme mood swings.  Read book below.
  • Join a support Group.
  • We like to take long drives while I read to him.  I read him inspirational books like The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
