Early Warning Signs That You Need To Work On Your Marriage

Whether you are fresh into marriage or have been together for decades, there is always a chance that either or both partners may have a change of heart. Reconciliation seldom happens in dead relationships- even if you decide to carry one for kids or any other reason; you will eventually realize your mistake. Wouldn’t it be better to separate sooner rather than drag a burdensome marriage? Of course, it would spare the suffering for everyone involved. So it is better to recognize the obvious and move ahead with your separate lives if nothing seems to work out. Here are some early warning signs that your marriage needs some work.

Lack of communication

Good communication is vital for any relationship, particularly marriage because partners share life. Bottling up feelings for the sake of keeping peace in the family is the last thing you should do because it actually increases resentment and frustration between partners. If this is something you and your spouse have been doing for some time, parting ways is surely the best thing to do. 

Keeping secrets

If your spouse has suddenly become secretive, you have a big red flag right in front of you. While this could be a sign of infidelity, they may actually be planning to separate or even file a divorce soon. Changing email accounts and locking up their phone certainly rings warning bells. And if they have changed the passwords to access their bank account online, they don’t trust you and there is something cooking.

Money deception 

Money is one of the biggest reasons for ruining marriages. If your spouse deceives you on financials even once, you will probably never be able to trust them again. According to divorce lawyers at Holmes, Diggs & Sadler, the cases with money issues are the most complex. There are couples who try to conceal their assets from each other, just to avoid giving alimony or marital share to their partner. A divorce is the best solution when deception seems on top of your partner’s mind.

Addiction issues

Another sign that your marriage would eventually end is when you are with a partner who has addiction issues. While rehab and therapy can save the relationship, it will surely not survive if the other person is not motivated enough to give their best for fighting addiction. If they are not willing to go the extra mile to save the marriage, it is definitely not worthwhile for you.

Abusive behavior

Once or more, abusive behavior is something that no one should tolerate in a marriage. Physical violence, verbal abuse, and emotional cruelty are surely good enough reasons to leave them, no matter how much you love each other. Such actions show a lack of respect and concern for the partner. The best thing to do would be to go separate ways and start afresh.

These are the warning signs that indicate the end of a relationship. Though it is worth trying to save the marriage, you shouldn’t compromise with your self-respect. Give them only as much chance as they deserve!
