8 Signs A Marriage Won’t Last, According To Divorce Lawyers by khalhokage(m): 5:42am On Jun 01, 2017 |
For the best relationship insight and advice, turn to a divorce attorney. After all, every day they have a front-row seat to the kinds of petty drama and missteps that lead couples to split up. With that in mind, we asked family law attorneys from across the country to share some of the most obvious signs that a couple is likely to divorce. 1. They give each other the silent treatment . 2. Their sex life is lackluster. “This seems obvious and it is. People can go without sex, but the bottom line is that we are living creatures and sex is a natural desire. Yes, there are relationships that endure without sex, but as a divorce lawyer, it’s not a shock when a client tells me they have gone years without having sex with their partner.” 3. They have very little in common. 4. Their careers always come before the family. “It can be a problem when a partner always puts his or her career above everything else, including the relationship. This tends to be true, regardless of the agreement the couple has come to during the marriage. For example, my firm has represented laser-focused military members, whose partners initially agreed to take a backseat and raise the family so the military member could advance. But over the years, the stay-at-home spouse begins to resent the situation. Even the strongest relationships decay over time when one person puts their career aspirations ahead of the relationship.” 5. They have contempt for one another. 6. They don’t respect each other’s love language. “Knowing your partner’s love language — being aware of how he or she feels appreciated — is crucial for long-term success in marriage. Although spouses may love each other, they may not feel loved if they have different love languages. For instance, if one spouse shows love by doing helpful things or by buying gifts, but the other receives love through verbal affirmations, loving touch or quality time together, the love may not really be received.” 7. They’re not honest about their spending. 8. They never fight. “Many spouses tend to avoid awkward situations and problems by either ‘shading the truth’ or ignoring something that has been on their mind. This leads to resentment. This person is your best friend, confidante and lover. You should be able to say anything to them. You should be able to to accept one another’s comments without destroying the bonds of matrimony." |

This just reminded me of an old song *Take time to know her * by Percy Sledge . I think most of the points you listed are things that you should have recognized about your potential spouse from the beginning before you put a ring on it. But somehow people just think marriage will automatically fix these issues which is absurd ofcourse . For instance if someone puts their career first, how could you have missed this during the dating period? If you saw it how did you address it ? If you ignored it and hoped it will change during the marriage , then you have no one to blame but yourself. |
