Common Marriage Breakdown Issues
-
Lack of trust - For some strange reason instead of trusting a spouse after years of marriage behaviors and past experiences lead to a lack of trust. Trust is a vital ingredient for having a meaningful relationship. It's hard to have a good or great marriage when trust with love, finances, decision making etc. has been compromised.
-
Uncaring attitudes - As couples begin to grow apart they can easily adopt a non-caring attitude that spills over into many areas of their marriage. There is a tendency to no longer care about meeting each others needs physically or emotionally. When this marriage breakdown occurs there is a dangerous window opened for resentment and bitterness to creep in. Before you know it one or both of the couples are vulnerable to having an affair.
-
Poor communication - You would think the more that you are with someone the easier it would be to communicate effectively with them. The problem with married couples is that communicating is painful at times. Very often, communicating involves giving constructive criticism, which no one really likes. The other problem with communication is that spouses get so used to each other that they forget at times to speak respectfully and with love. Don't assume that it's ok to say what ever pops into your head just because you are married. Would you have talked to your spouse in such a manner when you were trying to win his or heart?
