When the arguments are getting more frequent, the love seems gone, maybe trust has been violated, you may be wondering how to know if your marriage is in trouble.
My experience, research and conversations with many couples point to these 10 signs.
Recognizing them will help you begin to save your marriage starting now.
1.
Do you now find your spouse unattractive and have no desire for any type of affection? Even hand holding or hugs? 2.
Do you find yourself constantly arguing about the same things over and over? 3.
Do you find that things you once found attractive about your spouse are now annoying to you? 4.
Has the laughter between you all but ended? 5.
Do you still share common interests together, besides sitting in front of the television in silence? Or is all of your activity separate from each other? 6.
Are either you or your spouse constantly criticizing each other? Can either of you do anything right in the other's eyes? 7.
Has your spouse suddenly begun to take an extra interest in their physical appearance or spending long hours away from home? 8.
Does your spouse seem unwilling or uninterested in discussing your marriage? 9.
Has physical appearance taken a back seat for one or both of you? Does it just not seem to matter anymore? 10.
Are drugs, alcohol, gambling or other addictive habits causing problems? Is there any physical or verbal abuse? Any one of these signs can spell trouble for a marriage.
There are certainly others, but these seem to be the ones that come up most often.
With the exception of abuse, the other issues can all be dealt with and none of them have to spell the end of your marriage.
The question is, DO YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE? When we meet and fall in love, we created an environment together that we both enjoyed being in.
We get married because we want to live together in that environment.
The problems begin to arise when something changes in that environment.
For whatever reason, you or your spouse now finds yourself living in an environment that you no longer enjoy.
The key to restoring the successful marriage is restoring that environment or creating a new one together.
It CAN be done! Even if your spouse doesn't seem to care at this point! But it takes ACTION!
