Acts That Break A Marriage

Posted on August 11, 2008 in Marriage Problems, Tips for A Husband, Tips for A Wife

Small acts of kindness definitely go a great way in strengthening and developing one’s marriage. Similarly small acts of unkindness go a great way in damaging one’s relationships. These small acts, which you think will not mount to much, create small but definite holes in the bond of marriage.

Acts, which should be avoided at any cost, are

1) Not Keeping Promises: Always being caught up with work and forgetting to keep up promises will harm your marriage. Though you may not do it deliberately, but it will definitely cause your spouse to loose his/her trust in you.

2) Being Unkind: Work pressure, family conflicts and other personal reasons may cause you to unconsciously be rude to your spouse. For e.g. being tired may cause you not to listen to what your wife’s sharing. Or you may be so lost in thought that you would suddenly interrupt your wife/husband when they are talking.

3) Being Less romantic: Responsibilities may cause you too slow down a little and not let you be as romantic as you want. Making your spouses feel special only when you want sex may cause your better half feel used and unwanted.

4) Being Unforgiving: Holding grudges for long, against your partner for a mistake he/she is done can harm your marriage. Agreed that he/she has done something really wrong, and you have every right to be angry. But communicating this feeling and telling your spouse how much he/she has hurt you and how much you would appreciate it if this behavior is not repeated again, would be the most effective thing. Not being able to forgive your spouse and being rude to him/her wouldn’t help the situation at all.

5) Being Jealous: Of your spouse’s abilities and achievements would drive him/her out of the house. Controlling his/her life, telling them whom to talk too, which parties to attend etc will suffocate the individual and cause them to run away from the marriage.

Keep these points in mind and avoid them as much as you can.
