Things to put marriage at risk
No together time
If you never have time to have fun (and
sex) together, trouble is looming. For a relationship to grow, you need
to do more than wash the dishes together or change nappies. You need to
do things like go away for weekends (sometimes without the children), go
to the movies, see friends together and sit down and have adult
conversations. If these things are not happening, your relationship
could be in static mode and the next time you see your spouse, he or she
might be enjoying themselves with someone else.
Lack of approval
Withholding
approval is a very destructive thing to do in a marriage. Some people
feel it puts them in a position of power, and makes the partner grovel
and take the blame easily. This is not a long-term workable solution to
problems. Neither is constant nagging. The worst display of this kind of
behaviour is if the partner is constantly cut down and made to look
stupid in front of others. It makes people feel supremely uncomfortable
and could make your friends stop visiting you. If a spouse constantly
feels as if they have to work harder and harder to gain that elusive
approval, there comes a point where most people give up. And this often
comes in the form of a new partner who is kind and accepts them as they
are
