There are tell-tale signs of a marriage in crisis.
Do you know what they are? You could be in the midst of a marital crisis and not even know it.
Do not be caught off guard.
Educate yourself on the signs of a troubled marriage and develop of plan of action to save it! *Constant Arguing - This is the most obvious sign that something is not right.
If you cannot have a conversation without it turning into an argument, one or the both of you are harboring some hidden anger.
*You feel relieved when your spouse is not around.
You prefer anyone elses company over theirs - If you cannot stand to be in the presence of your spouse that is a strong indicator that you are in crisis.
*You drive around for awhile after work because you dread going home.
Home is where the heart is, and if you do not want to go home...
well you know the rest *You do not laugh together anymore - If every conversation is serious and/or stressful, you have lost the joy in your relationship.
*You disrespect one another - One of the greatest things one spouse can give to the other is respect.
When respect is lost and your spouse is cursing and calling you names, YOUR MARRIAGE IS IN CRISIS.
Those are just five signs of a marriage in trouble.
There are far more than that.
However, if even one of the signs are familiar to your marriage, it is time to take action! One of the most important things in a marriage is unity.
When you are emotionally separated, physical separation is not far off.
If you cannot talk to your spouse, try writing a heart felt letter.
Not a letter that criticizes your spouse, but one that lovingly explains how you feel.
Be sure to begin the letter by, expressing your positive feelings about your spouse.
If you don't have any at the moment, think about the qualities that made you fall in love with them in the first place.
Seek outside, NEUTRAL, SOURCES OF HELP.
Friends and family are not always the best people for advice.
They tend to be biased.
