Do You Need Relationship Help For Your Marriage?

By Reynaldo Fuentes


Few marriages are perfect and have never needed any form of help to maintain. Marriages that don't have good relationships are likely the ones that won't last. If they do last, the couple aren't usually happy and they are more likely to fail.

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.

If you're hearing cues from others that you need help, your marriage likely does. For instance, do you go to functions without your spouse? If so, how often? Do you make excuses for him or her? Are they true reasons or are you just being polite?

When you are together, you'll be criticizing or complaining about little things that are actually pretty irrelevant. You'll go to one extreme or the other and sit together, but rarely talk, Even if someone does speak, it's not really that interesting to the other person.

Other warning signs of a troubled relationship may be a big lack of interest when it comes to being intimate. You are both attractive and young, but there just isn't any spark anymore. At the same time, you may fantasize about other people.

There is no more affection, no kisses, no hugs and no "I Love You" being said to each other. We're human folks, we all need these things. You have a serious problem and you need to fix this or move on.

Jealousy is a huge turn off to the other partner when carried to the extreme. The jealous person will withdraw and the other person will feel as if the one that is jealous is being unfaithful. The other partner will then hold back as they feel cheated upon. It's a vicious circle that is hard to break.

Avoid exaggeration and establish some ground rules. If jealousy is still an issue, seek help immediately. If your relationship is going to survive, you must curtail jealousy.

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.

When one partner spends more than the other partner the marriage is drowning in bills. The relationship then begins to sink and debt drains the life blood from the relationship.

All marriages run into problems at some time or another. Disagreements and conflicts are going to occur. They are to be expected. However, from time to time, just make sure you take a look at your relationship to make sure you and your spouse are happy with where you are. If any adjustments need to be made, just make them and keep moving forward.
