Marriage in Crisis: Do You Know the Warning Signs?

Give your marriage a health check up to make sure your relationship is going strong.  First , look at how often you have sex.  A crucial part of a healthy marriage is sex, but sex is not the whole point of the marriage.

Analize your sex life to determine if your marriage may be in crisis  Are you having sex less frequently? Have you stopped having sex spontaneously? Do you only have sex when you can fit it into your schedule?

When sex becomes a scheduled activity, a marriage can certainly recover. Marrige goes through phases and When babies come into a marriage it is more difficult to find the time to spend with your partner, over a simple meal or before leaving for work, let alone finding a spare hour to make love.

A warning sign that your marriage is in crisis is if it never breaks out of that pattern.  Instead, even when the time is right the partners don’t have spontaneous sex.  Very little physical affection is shown during the day.  People who tend to hug and kiss during the day are people in love and are happy to be together.

If you observe a loving couple the will often touch each other just in passing.  A kiss on the cheek, a hug for no reason.  Does this still happen in your marriage?  Do you ever hug your partner or give them a pat on the bottom or a sexy look in the middle of the day?

If this intimate behavior has disappeared,it can be a sign that the marriage is in trouble.  Do you say “thank you” “please” and “excuse me” to strangers more than you say them to your partner.  If this is happening something is wrong.

Taking our partners for granted in this way will eventually lead to a sort of coldness between couples. I see no reason not to show affection and say please and thank you to our partners during the course of everyday life.

If you are seeing these warning signs it is good news, you can start working right now to correct them.  You don’t have to make a big deal of it, simply make the effort to change what you do.

Make it your goal to be more affectionate and give your partner  unexpected kisses and hugs. Make it a habit to say please and thank you and mean it. Make time for making love.  Be more spontanious and affectionate  and I think you will see that a marriage that was in crisis will soon be back on track and you will be happier than ever.
