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.
A marriage and a relationship are two very different things. In a marriage, you've formed a bond with another person that is before God, law and man. You are united until death or divorce do you 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 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.
More signs of a relationship in decline are lack of interest in the bedroom. While both of you may be young and attractive, the spark has gone out and one of you may even fantasize about others.
There is no affection in your relationship. Nobody says I love you, there are no kisses or hugs. Human beings have the need to be satisfied, happy, to feel worthy and to be touched. If there is no touch, your marriage has a serious problem.
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.
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.
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.
