3 Different Ways You Are Setting Your Marriage Up To Fail

By Sarah Scott


Your relationship with your other half should be cultivated each day. You and your other half need to do everything you can to keep the love between you both alive. Make sure you avoid doing these things below if you want a harmonious, flourishing, gratifying and loving marriage.

1. Overcommitment to Curricular Activities and Stress

Though it could be possible (many busy folks can still have a flourishing marriage) but extensive and intense activities outside your marriage can deteriorate your relationship with your partner. Young couples, particularly, have a hard time balancing school, children, starting a business, reconstructing their house, and work in their relationship. Many marriages fall to pieces when both couples are too busy to spend some time together and cultivate their relationship. This does not mean you shouldn't do things outside your marriage. Just be sure to find a good balance between the activities in your life outside your marriage and time with your other half.

Are you able to think what life would look like for a husband who spends more time at work than he does with his other half? If he does not cultivate the bond he has with his wife on an everyday basis, his wife is more likely to build resentment and loneliness (especially if he's too tired to connect when he gets home). It's vital to take time out of your day to deepen your relationship on a satisfying level with your partner.

2. Are Your Fulfilling Your Spouse's Desires?

Are you a giver or taker? If a relationship consist of 2 takers, their marriage is going to suffer. Selfishness has no place in a marriage. Be conscious of your spouse's wants as well as they ought to be aware with yours. A marriage where both couples highest desires are met will overcome any adversity that dares to threaten their marriages. On the other hand, 2 givers in a marriage are set to have a successful and flourishing marriage. Most marriages that fail are generally due to one (if not both) partner is not meeting their spouse's needs. Think about, do you think a couple who meets each other's emotional and physical needs have many issues in their marriage?

3. Do You Have Unrealistic Expectations

Many couples go into a marriage with a certain expectation that only sets up their spouse to fail. Women are culprits when it comes to this. Many ladies have high expectations of their partner. The majority of these high expectations are from what they have learned through the media. These ladies have predetermined romantic ideas of what their marriage should be. Some partners do this too. Instead they have expectations of a domesticated spouse who will do all of the cooking, cleaning and household tasks in the house. Make sure your expectations are practical. Your not living in a fantasy world where your life is a movie. You are only setting yourself up for major unhappiness if you do not keep your expectations on a realistic level.
