Is divorce likely to happen to you? You need to deal with this now instead of putting your head in the sand.
Avoiding or ignoring your problems will not solve them. They’ll eventually blow up and you’ll be forced to deal with them.
While procrastination is very tempting, working on the problem now will be worth it in the long run. Love is blind so there’s a good chance that you’ll miss the tell tale signs of a troubled marriage. What you don’t know can hurt you because those signs of trouble can escalate into big problems.
So then, what are these signs of a troubled marriage? Six of these are listed below:
1.) The fun has completely left your marriage. When you try to have a good time by going out, it causes still more tension and stress.
2.) There is an absence of sex or intimacy. This may indicate that someone is having an affair.
3.) You feel relief and perhaps even happy when your spouse leaves for an extended period of time. You find that being alone is much preferred to the company of your partner.
4.) Neither one of you ever compliment the other. Criticizing each other has become a habit. You get to the point where you feel that you can’t do anything right. You then start to withdraw and minimize your interactions with your spouse.
5.) There are unresolvable differences that create stress between you.
For instance, tidiness is a cause of tension that is chronic. When each person views the other as the source of the problem, the difficulty lingers and generates more resentment. You might think of your partner as a complete slob, while he or she feels that you’re a nag.
Differences in how the two of you view money is a classic source of confrontation. Saving enough money to pay the bills may be your priority while your spouse may feel the need to buy and enjoy the good things in life.
6.) You never talk about the future anymore and can barely manage the day to day concerns.
If these signs apply to you, it’s important not to allow denial to take hold. Act on it now. You owe it to yourself, your partner, and your children.
