Figures change most years in terms of divorce rates, but what’s not disputed is that a significant number of marriages do end in legal separation.
The reasons behind marriage breakups are numerous, with infidelity being a factor at times, as well as both emotional and physical abuse. One of the keys to any successful marriage is effective communication. Without this, it becomes impossible for the relationship to last the course.
Communication can break down in several ways, with some common examples outlined below.
Constant fighting
Every couple has arguments from time to time but this really shouldn’t be a daily occurrence. What’s also important is that couples find a way to get through these arguments and come through the other side with a tighter bond.
If your daily interactions with your spouse involve nothing more than heated arguments, then this can be extremely draining for everyone involved. At the end of the day, what benefits are there to staying in a relationship where both of you are angry, tired and miserable all the time?
No arguments can also be a bad sign
It might sound counterintuitive to say that a marriage without arguments isn’t necessarily the perfect marriage. It’s important for each half of the marriage to have their own views, ambitions and personalities. After all, life would be boring if everyone was the same, and this includes married life.
Indifference between married couples is as worrying a sign as any other. It’s a sign that the passion has gone.
If you don’t think your marriage can last the distance, then it’s important to start thinking about protecting yourself. Seeking legal guidance can help the divorce run more smoothly and ensure that your rights are upheld.
