Some Important Possible Reasons Why Your Relationship Is Failing (7 of 8)

Problems Around Marriage

Marriage is a big deal, but getting married – and other aspects around it – can be signs of trouble.

Here are some examples:

• • • You got married when you were younger. Those who get married after high school or college are at a disadvantage. According to a 2015 study, those who get married in their 20s are at a greater risk of divorcing than those in their 30s.
    • Lack premarital preparation is another reason. Setting up a wedding is huge of course, but before getting into that planning, there should be a plan in place for what to do after marriage. Make sure you’ve sorted out living arrangements, career paths, and finances.
    • Another big sign is that after marriage, there is fewer or no dates at all. While it’s fair to argue that people slip into a routine (eat, sleep, pay bills, work, etc.), it’s important that you keep that spark alive. Make sure that after the newness of living together wears off, you put in some effort to keep it romantic and exciting.
    • Another strain to relationships is working on starting a family. Normally the cycle is getting married first and then think about kids after. The thing is these are two really big decisions. Not only that, but getting kids involved can strain relationships naturally if there are differences in opinions.
    • The last strain is of course if you or your partner are caught cheating. Infidelity is a common thing unfortunately, and you don’t need us to tell you why that’s a problem.
