Do you have the feeling that something is amiss in your marriage yet can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong? Read the list below and see if any of these times is present in your relationship (you have a marriage crisis in your hands if you and your spouse are exhibiting at least three of these signs).
1. Are you constantly in conflict? Constant arguing and fighting can put a strain in a marriage. If the couple has children, this could affect their psychology as well.
2. In relation to the above item, is there an increasing incidence of cursing and unpleasant exchanging of words lately? It’s normal for married couples to have some misunderstandings and occasional fights. But when it reaches the point that it has become easy for one to hurl the choicest of expletives or abuses against the other, then it’s a sign of something serious. Respect for each other might be on its way out of the relationship.
3. Neglecting your spouse by focusing too much on work or other activity? Sure, all of us need to work for a living. That’s okay. But focusing too much on your work could make your spouse feel frustrated and uncared for. Whether it’s intentional or not, this kind of action can hurt your spouse’s feelings and make him or her feel insecure about your marriage.
4. No more dinner times together? Or more precisely, no together times anymore? The lines of communication may be breaking down.
5. Physical intimacy has become non-existent in your marriage? The absence of physical intimacy between married couples could spell doom to their relationship. There’s no fire to keep the passion alive, so to speak.
If any of these signs are familiar to you and you value your marriage, it’s high time that you take an important step to fix your relationship with your spouse. Ask for a marriage specialist’s help if necessary.
