Sometimes, failing marriage signs are difficult to see, but if you know what they are, you can address them BEFORE it becomes a problem.
Now there are more than five signs that can indicate a failing marriage, but these are the five most important signs to keep an eye out for.
Number One Communication breakdown.
This is usually one of the first signs of a failing marriage.
When the communication slows down or even stops, that is a good sign that there is a problem in the marriage.
Why? It is a natural reaction when a couple starts to fall apart from each other.
If your spouse is becoming distant, why would they continue to communicate with you? Number Two Lack of intimacy.
Again, this one is pretty straight-forward.
If you and your spouse are starting to fall apart, why would there be intimacy involved? In order to have true intimacy, there needs to be communication.
When there is not any communication, there is not going to be any intimacy.
Are you starting to see how everything ties together? Number Three Excessive confrontation.
One of the failing marriage signs as you probably already know, is excessive arguing.
This again is fairly straight-forward, but let us understand why this happens.
If there is a lack of communication, what do you suppose a majority of the communication will be? Arguing and fighting.
If your spouse is not communicating with you, he or she is not allowing you to help them with their stress of everyday life.
This stress could be money, work, and emotional needs.
Number Four Lack of trust.
If you are suspecting that you spouse is doing something he or she should not be doing, it is a normal feeling.
Why? Well because there is NO COMMUNICATION! When you do not know what your spouse is doing or thinking, it gets your mind wandering.
Are you starting to see a pattern here? Number Five Distance.
The last of the failing marriage signs is distance.
Now think about that for a minute.
There is no communication, no intimacy, excessive fighting, and no trust.
Of course you and your spouse are going to grow distant.
It is a complete snowball effect and it all starts with communication.
When there is no communication, everything else soon will break down.
I know that it is difficult to accept these failing marriage signs if you are in that unfortunate position.
I would hope though that by understanding these failing marriage signs, you can save your marriage before it ends up in divorce.
Marriage is a beautiful thing, but just because it is beautiful does not mean that it is a cake walk.
It takes work, dedication, perseverance, and true love to make a marriage work.
A lot of marriages end before the couple even tries to make it work.
My hope is that by knowing these five failing marriage signs, you can prevent this from happening.
