Marriage Counseling: Working Through Relationship Problems
People enter into relationships thinking that their will not be any problem in their marriage but the truth is that it is the most common problem in marriage. This is highly unrealistic but couples repeat wedding vows daily wearing the proverbial rose-colored glasses.
This is not to say you should enter into marriage expecting problems but be aware that they will occur and if you are not prepared to handle them then that could be another problem.
There is a dissimilarity between the most common problems in marriage and the most serious or threatening. Every problem can have serious consequences if they are not resolved on time.
Marriage counselors have said that one of the most common issues they have to resolve for couples is their ability to manage conflict. The ability to manage conflict can be more damaging than the conflict itself.
The basic reasons husbands and wives fail to solve their problems themselves is lack of communication. Instead of talking the problem out and brainstorming for a solution they become defensive and refuse to take responsibility for any wrongdoing. In this way they just argue on each others views and are not ready for a compromise.
If you will try to communicate too ofetn then it will turn into a word fight filled with name calling and criticism. No one likes to be called bad names and no one likes to be criticized so the communication attempt is broken and probably will not be resumed until the disrespect is softened. Good communication must include respect for the others opinion.
Read almost any book on marriage problems and they will list the most common as sex, money and children. These are the common problem listed in every book but they have many other sub headings which show other problems connected to it.
If a partner is not able to withstand any of these three problems it can lead to dissatisfaction and resentment. The old marriage myth warns of the seven year itch. Couples now have begun scratching early and some even suffer from the seven month itch.
The domino effect continues as spouses seek understanding and comfort in the arms of another leading to unfaithfulness which is one of the most common infamous problems. It is common because it often goes so long without being detected and the spouse is the last to know.
If you cannot pay the bills then it destroys your partners respect for you. She or he will likely start hoarding money in a secret account for fear of not having enough. If this is detected, it creates a wall of distrust. Money matters should be decided in the starting while courting to avoid sudden financial surprises.
If the husband or wife are not ready to take the responsibility of children then it can create problems. Both the spouse and the kid feels rancor.
The number one common marriage problem is almost impossible to pinpoint.It is not necessary that all the marriages has always the common problems. The most common problem is thinking that there will be no problems.
