relationship

Marriages, much like any meaningful connection, come with their own set of challenges. It’s normal for couples to encounter occasional bumps along their journey together. However, what starts as a minor issue can sometimes escalate into a major problem if not addressed properly.

In this guide, we’ll shed light on the common issues that can test the resilience of even the most solid relationships. Join us as we examine these key factors that can put pressure on a marriage.

Going into a marriage with unrealistic expectations is one of the easiest ways to see your marriage crumble within that five-year mark. When you enter a marriage with unclear, overly romantic, or unknown expectations, your communication now reflects ideas your spouse might not know about.

Expectation

We, humans, spend around 75% of our waking hours communicating. Given that a majority of that is likely nonverbal, you can understand how easy it is to miscommunicate with people.

Miscommunication

Money is easily the topic more couples fight about than anything else, and for reasons you’d expect. Money is the key to independence, and in today’s society, no one wants to depend solely on anyone else to care for them.

Finance

This issue is unfortunately all too common in marriages today. The birth of the internet made cheating as easy as clicking a mouse. No matter how or why an affair happened, knowing that it doesn’t have to be the end of your marriage if both of you are willing to work to save your partnership is essential.

Infidelity

Today’s world is marked by how stressed out people are. Anyone who looks hard at mental health can tell you that our stress levels have never been higher. Unmet needs, expectations, and a constant barrage of information are causing stressors to skyrocket, even in children.

When I got married, I was barely 21. I was idealistic about marriage and had zero idea how much work I’d have to put in every day to be successful. It didn’t take long for my spouse and me to grow up, but one thing we didn’t allow ourselves to do was grow apart.
