Do You Need Relationship Help For Your Marriage?

By Reynaldo Fuentes


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.

You might be asking yourself, what is the difference between a relationship and a marriage? A marriage is the bond that is formed in holy matrimony between two people. In the eyes of the law and man they are one. They can only be separated by divorce or death.

A relationship on the other hand, is a meaningful sense of well being formed after the marriage takes place that will grow and deepen as long as the two parties maintain their union. In many cases, the relationship actually begins prior to the marriage.

Sadly, others may notice that your relationship and marriage are crumbling well before you notice it. They'll see you going to functions without your other half and giving an excuse for their absence.

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.

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.

You no longer feel the affection and there are few hugs, no kisses and rarely are the three magic words of 'I love you' spoken. Humans require touch and warmth to feel like they are valued. Without touch, there is a serious issue going on.

If carried to the extremes, your partner can really be turned off by jealousy. The jealous person might withdraw from intimacy because they think their partner has been unfaithful. The accused person might also hold back on their feelings because they are tired of all the jealous questions and constant badgering.

Make sure to not exaggerate the situation and establish some ground rules. If jealousy is a problem, you'll need to seek help. If intimacy is to be a part of the relationship, then jealousy must go.

Problems in marriage can arise form debt, not enough money is a serious issue. If two people work together on a budget this is less of a problem. Live within your means. It really does help.

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.
