The beginning of relationships and marriages are typically light-hearted. But, every couple will have to tackle obstacles over the years. Often, the strength of a marriage is indicated by how couples overcome these challenges together.
Unfortunately, some difficulties cannot be overcome. It’s important to recognize if your marriage might potentially be in trouble so that you can start to think about protecting yourself legally. Outlined below are two major warning signs that this might be the case.
Do you no longer enjoy each other’s company?
You and your spouse lead busy lives outside of your marriage. You both work full-time and also have other family commitments. The time that you have together is limited, and this should be precious.
Recently, neither of you seems to be enjoying or making the most of this time. You’d rather spend time on your own or with friends. If this is the case for either of you, it could be a cause for concern. If there is zero enjoyment left in your marriage, then is it really something that’s worth clinging to?
Do you constantly feel criticized?
You have an optimistic nature and you try to remain positive, but recent criticism from your spouse is really getting you down. No matter how much effort you put in, you’re getting nothing back in return. A marriage shouldn’t be one-sided. A successful marriage thrives on open communication, honesty and sometimes a little compromise. If you don’t have this then maybe it just isn’t meant to be.
If you suspect that your marriage is in trouble then it is important to think about protecting yourself. In any case, seeking legal guidance will not do you any harm.
