How To Know If Your Marriage Needs Relationship Help?

By Reynaldo Fuentes


Almost all marriages need help at one time or another in order to maintain a good relationship. Any marriage that doesn't have a good relationship will probably not last for long. Even if the union does happen to last somehow, the couples are usually not content and happy.

The difference between a marriage and a relationship is that when people marry, they form a bond in matrimony and in the eyes of the law and man they are united until death (or divorce) do they part.

In a relationship, you have a friendship that you likely began well before marriage and you will continue to grow and deepen your friendship as long as time goes on. Ideally, this began before you even tied the knot.

Sadly, others may notice that your relationship and marriage are crumbling well before you notice it. They'll see you going to functions without your other half and giving an excuse for their absence.

When you are spending time together, you constantly complain about different petty annoyances and are always criticizing each other. Or sometimes it goes to the other extreme. You may be in the same room but never speak to one another. It doesn't matter what the other is talking about or does, it is uninteresting and boring.

If your relationship needs help, you'll also have a serious lack of interest in intimacy. The spark has gone out and you simply can't rekindle it.

You no longer feel the affection and there are few hugs, no kisses and rarely are the three magic words of 'I love you' spoken. Humans require touch and warmth to feel like they are valued. Without touch, there is a serious issue going on.

Jealousy is a huge turn off as well. When carried to the extreme it can destroy a relationship. It ruins intimacy as one spouse is always worried they don't measure up. It tempts people to be unfaithful and it can cause partners to hold back their true feelings.

Make sure you don't exaggerate the situation and do establish ground rules that both of you must follow. If jealousy becomes a growing and continuous problem, it is time to seek help. The jealousy needs to be curtailed in order for intimacy to be back in your relationship.

Debt is another culprit that is responsible for relationship issues. Not having money can be serious. If one partner overspends constantly, it can cause a huge rift in the relationship.

On the other hand, if either one or both spouse spends too much money or are living way above their means, they will surely end up drowning in debt. It follows that the relationship will start to sink as well. Debt literally can drain all of the life blood out of a relationship that was once very loving.

Marriages suffer frequently when things like this occur. Conflicts and disagreements soon become the norm. It's good to stop and do inventory on occasion and see how things are really going between the two of you. Make the required adjustments and continue on in your life. You will see a huge difference and the relationship will become much stronger in the end.
