Top Warning Signs of a "Rocky Marriage"
Several couples are on their feet to fighting the warning signs of their marriage being on the rocks with the thought that this is normal and that this cold and dry phase will wear out without exerting much effort and have the old spark back soon. Little do they know that even with t as a phase, the trouble will not pass without them making positive efforts to working it out. Marriage should be treated the same way as courtship with the essential need for effort to making the girl extra special and loved.
Most experts would give you one of the top warning signs that your marriage is in trouble being the loss of "couple communication" among several other things. It is a wonder how people could have so much to talk about when they are still in the courtship stage however, lose it upon marriage. They don't often realize the fact that communication plays the part of keeping couples well-bonded with each other. Love is already given in all marriage and relationships and communication ignites it even more.
One thing about "familiarity" - it could break your marriage if you don't know how to make it work towards your relationship's advantage. Communication and your need for it could be lost and you just might be on the road to taking each other for granted. Most people are so used to having their partner around and know very well how the other reacts about things hence it is easy to take the other for granted.
You might not feel any further need to please your partner or respect his opinions and feelings if you deem your partner and situations all too familiar. Your marriage is definitely going downhill with this sign. Being close to accepting your partner's "say" about things that concern your married life is indeed a big sign that you have lost the respect and even the need to listen to him or her or consider his feelings and views.
You will truly know that your marriage is on the rocks if there is no more communication, attention, respect and consideration. To make your marriage work, resolve issues as a couple and go back to loving each other so much that it moved you to get married in the first place.
