Often times when asked why a marriage is struggling or did not work, you will hear the couple state that they lost their communication. They felt like they couldn’t reach out to one another and really tell the other what was on their mind. What I would like to tell you is that the key to a happy marriage is communication. If someone is upset or hurt and they keep it bottled in, often times they will begin to resent the other for not noticing or changing. But, if the spouse/partner has no clue something is bothering you, they really don’t know what/how to change. It never ends well.
Another thing to remember is that sometimes things may be bothering our spouse and it is best for us to listen to what they have to say with an open mind before becoming upset that they blurted out their concerns. For if they hold something in that is bothering them for too long, it may not end well. Keep the communication lines open at all times. If you have tried communicating and it just isn’t working out, you can always turn to other methods. Places like www.weinbergerlawgroup.com offer help with divorce, separation and mediation issues. They also offer help with resolving child custody and parenting conflicts, which often times arises when the communication is not there.
Just remember that things don’t have to turn out badly, if you just take the time to communicate and show that you are committed to your partner/spouse.
