Warning Signs Of A Troubled Marital Relationship


Every marriage is unique and it comes with its unique set of problems. However, no matter how different individuals in a marriage are, there are certain red flags and warning signs that universally indicate trouble. Ignoring these problems and thinking they’ll just ‘go away’ doesn’t help. If anything, those problems will claw their way deeper into your marriage and pollute it with negativity. Let’s face it – no marriage is perfect. But, if a family therapist is consulted at the right time with an open mind, even the most complicated of problems can be resolved and the magic of your bond can be restored.

You may be wondering at what point during a rough patch in a marriage is it advisable to seek marriage counseling. To understand this, it is important to first understand the warning signs that scream trouble.
Here are a few –
●     Incessant and continuous bickering
●     Emotional and romantic withdrawal
●     Unfair and irrational fights
●     Repeated arguments over the same issues
●     Escalated fights that turn violent
●     A feeling of indifference towards the other person
●     Emotional detachment
●     Loss of interest in the partner
●     Not enjoying your partner’s company
●     Hurtful teasing and nitpicking
●     Secrets, lies and cheating
●     Lowering of sexual and emotional intimacy
●     Feelings of suspicion or jealousy
●     Isolation and loss of communication

Marital problems can be deeply disturbing to those experiencing them. Troubled couples can find themselves repelled by each other even though they may not want to feel that way. In a lot of situations, the negativity that falls upon a marriage can either be avoided or worked out of. Most marriages can return to their initial level of happiness and satisfaction by the help of a couple therapist. It is advisable that couples undergoing problems should not wait to seek professional help. A marriage therapist can restore your marriage and with the help of communication and understanding, can bring back the lost charm between you and your spouse. When problems become irreparable, it is a great idea to see professional help.
