7 GIANT Warning Signs Your Marriage Is in Deep Trouble

Every good marriage faces some storms, the difference is the willingness for both couples to work on it. It can be sad and heartbreaking for people involved. Truthfully, bad marriages just do not happen over night, there will be tell signs or red flags that observant couples will notice and put a stop to. See 6 of warning signs below…

1. One or both of you show increasing disrespect for each other.

In marriages that are not working, there are growing signs of mutual disrespect. Resentment and contempt have replaced patience and love. You intentionally avoid being together or doing things together. When mutual respect and understanding fail, your marriage is well on the way to its end, this will be a good time to stop and retrace your steps.

2. You fight and argue unfairly much more than before.

You love to pick on each other, and probably step purposely on your partner’s toes. You tease to cause pain. Your arguments are about the same subjects, you criticize each other, you fight constantly, and you no longer fight fair. It may sound cruel and unbelievable, but when love is out of the equation, and two people just live in the same house for the sake of “living”, anything can happen.

3. You and your spouse are no longer capable of communicating with each other in meaningful and productive ways.

Communication between couples is paramount to the health of a successful marital relationship. In failing marriages, tge couple  communicates less and less. There are fewer and fewer meaningful exchanges between them. There can be no hope for any relationship, without effective and proper communication.

4. Sexual intimacy in your marriage is low and increasingly non-existent.

It will get difficult to even want to be affectionate with someone you have no feelings for. Marriage partners turn into roommates, they live together in the same home, but do not share the intimacies of a marriage, and probably do not share the same bed.

5. Your spouse cannot be trusted anymore.

Trust is the essence of every marriage! If you can’t trust your spouse, whom can you trust? When you or your spouse start to have thoughts of being unfaithful and think more and more about divorce, your marriage is in trouble.

Your immediate family find it more and more difficult to find common ground in debates, discussions, and conversations, they throw compromise out of the window. You or your spouse try to isolate each other from their own families.

In the end, try to recognize the tell tale signs of a failing marriage. Pay close attention. When you witness the signs, take action. Save your relationship if you can and are willing to. Having a healthy and happy marriage is one of the great success stories of life. It is not too late to save your marriage.
