How To Avoid A Divorce

Posted on April 12, 2008 in Marriage Divorce

Divorce in simple terms refers to a break up of marriage. A couple that promised to live together all their lives, suddenly find that they cannot stand each other at all.

Well how can one identify if something is wrong with their marriage and work on it before situations worsen and lead to a divorce.

Here are 5 important symptoms, which very often, “in most of the cases” lead to a divorce.

Poor Sex or No Sex at all: Couples who have no sex or rarely have sex are most likely to go in for a divorce. Lack of physical contact leads to a lack of feeling loved, cared or nurtured. This in turn leads to bitterness and seeking love outside the marriage.

Poor Communication: When there is poor communication between a couple due to lack of understanding, fights or lack of interest in each other, the couple is more likely to feel unheard or unwanted. When one of the partners swallows up emotions and refuses to talk about his/her feelings there tends to be a kind of block between the couple. All these feelings of strife lead to a desire of having a divorce. Open communication is the key to a happy and successful marriage.

Lack Of Compromise: Marriage is all about sacrifice, humility and adjustment. When there is no compromise and an attitude of adjustment between the couple, they are more likely to be divorced. Your husband/wife is not a perfect being. He/she is an individual and unique. Keeping this factor in mind will prove very helpful in the long run.

Handling Money: Amount of money a couple owns is not the criteria here. It is the way a couple handles it that matters the most. A couple consists of people who in most cases are very opposite to each other. The phrase opposite poles attracts each other holds true in most of the cases. This also implies that each partner has a different style of spending. One may spend very lavishly whereas the other may think twice before spending. If a couple has a problem compromising on this issue, they may most likely head for a divorce.

Constant Grumbling: If one of the spouses is constantly grumbling about some issue or the other or has a problem with the other partners likes and dislikes, he/she may end up being the cause of a broken marriage. Not letting the other partner have his/her own space. Constant criticizing, putting the other one down or dominating over him/her will most likely lead to a break up in marriage.

If you identify any of the above symptoms in your marriage, leave no stone unturned in rectifying them. After all what GOD has joined together, let no man separate.
