Is This the End? Are you struggling in an unhappy marriage<\/a>? Do you wonder whether the challenges you\u2019re facing in your marriage are \u201cnormal,\u201d or whether they\u2019re signs that you may be headed for divorce? While every marriage is unique, here are 15 signs your marriage will end in divorce, and you might want to pay attention and do your best to turn things around asap.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the only conversations you have with your spouse are about the kids, scheduling, or what to have for dinner, your marriage is in trouble. Real communication builds connection. Research by the Pew Research Center<\/a> shows healthy couples engage in at least 5 hours of deep communication together per week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Constant criticism does not create loving feelings. If your spouse is always criticizing you (or vice versa) your interactions probably don\u2019t make either one of you feel good about the other. What\u2019s worse, criticism often leads to contempt (i.e. treating your spouse with disrespect, sarcasm, and ridicule.) According to the Gottman Institute<\/a>, contempt is one of the biggest predictors of divorce<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two people make a marriage, but three people break it. If your spouse is cheating,<\/a> chances are you already feel betrayed. You\u2019ve lost trust in your partner and in your marriage. While it\u2019s possible for a marriage to survive infidelity, it\u2019s rare that it will survive when one spouse continues to have a relationship with someone outside the marriage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you and your spouse aren\u2019t physically intimate anymore, the bond between you will start to weaken. Your marriage will become vulnerable to affairs, especially if one of you looks to get your physical needs met outside of the marriage. What\u2019s more, while a sexless marriage can survive, a marriage without any physical intimacy (hugging, kidding, holding hands) isn\u2019t likely to survive for long. (Unless you like just being roommates.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Holding onto grudges and not talking about what\u2019s bothering you can poison a marriage. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s not just the big issues that cause problems. When you\u2019re not honest with your partner about how you feel about little things, or you don\u2019t say anything when your feelings get hurt, those little things start to add up. Over time, you build resentment towards your partner. Those resentments,<\/a> in turn, erode the love you once felt for your partner. If you leave those resentments unresolved for long enough, they will ultimately destroy your marriage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n15 Signs Your Marriage will end in divorce<\/strong><\/h2>\n
