6 Habits That Are Lethal To Any Marriage – How To Save Your Marriage
All marriages will have its fair shares of ups and downs. It can be a good marriage or a troubled marriage. There is no marriage in this world that does not face problems. However, when you experience more bad times than good one, it is an indication that your marriage may be in danger. As the day goes by, you get more emotionally isolated from your partner. If this is happening to you, learn the 6 habits that can really prove lethal to any marriage.
You ignore your physical appearance. No matter what people say, one of the reasons couples fall in love is because of the physical attraction. As we age, it will be difficult to maintain our physical appearance as when you were dating. However, ignoring what you wear, putting on excessive weight or not taking care of your hygiene is a signal to your spouse that you find them not important anymore. If you want your spouse to love you and continue to desire you, take care of yourself and how you look.
You are having a sexless marriage. If you and your spouse have sex less than once a month, then you are considered as having a sexless marriage. Less sexual intimacy generally means less emotional intimacy. There may be other issues contributing to the lack of sex but if you and your partner cannot connect in the bedroom over prolong period, there is a very high chance you cannot connect in other areas of your life.
ou spend more time outside your home alone. You exclude your spouse in your activities and your interests. You spend too much time with friends or in the office. Over time your spouse will begin to question your priorities. There is a high chance your partner will assume that other interests in your life are more important than they or the marriage.
You avoid discussing financial issues. If one of you goes about reckless spending and withholds money from the other or keeping secrets from your spouse about your spending, it is time you stop. If you spouse finds out, there is a very high chance it is going to build resentment. It is a sure way to create distance between married couples.
You do not forgive and forget. You become a grudge king or queen. Disagreements and misunderstandings cannot be avoided in any marriage. There will be times when couples do not see things eye to eye. However, if you are holding onto grudges, always bringing up past problems, always criticizing and blaming your spouse, you will never create intimacy in your marriage. When there are problems or disagreements, take one problem at a time and talk things out. Find a common ground and resolve it together.
You avoid physical affection such as a kiss, hugs, holding hands, gentle touches or even cuddling. These actions are an indication that you want to stay close and be connected with your spouse. Withholding physical affections send a message that you want your spouse to stay away. Is that the message you want to send to your spouse?
