11. You don’t communicate well

Communication is a necessity to keep a relationship in a healthy state. When couples restrict themselves from opening up to their partners on matters they believe could initiate an argument, problems go on piling up. With so much pent up emotions, it’s very likely that they would start feeling suffocated in the relationship. It’s paramount that you both are adept at broaching sensitive topics to the other in a composed way and at a suitable time. Many sessions at couples therapy would be dedicated to working on the communication barrier between the partners.
