A good marriage doesn’t run on autopilot. Maintaining the things that first drew the two of you together requires some attention. Birkat Elyon, which specializes in high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry, has interacted with all kinds of couples over the years. Here are four things experts note that can really derail a marriage.
LACK OF INTIMACY
Intimacy – both physical and emotional – is what holds a relationship together, Of course, it’s really easy to let that fall by the wayside when you’re busy with work, raising kids, and all the rest. Before you know it, you’re living like roommates. Making “alone” time is essential, as is simply paying attention to your partner every day. Hint: one way to show your partner that you care is with a special piece of cubic zirconia jewelry. We have all kinds of beautiful, affordable options!
LACK OF HONESTY
This isn’t just the kind of “honesty” where you admit that you forgot to feed the fish: we’re talking secret behaviors, like an increasing addiction, or problematic spending habits. Hiding things from your partner is a very slippery slope and creates a distance where all kinds of destructive actions can occur. Dishonesty also includes things like lying about how you really feel. Saying “I’m fine” may be the easier response, but if you’re not, that’s a lie.
CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR
When power and control are used in a relationship, it never ends well. It can take many forms, including emotional manipulation and verbal abuse. If your relationship is showing signs of this, it’s a good time to look into some counseling.
LACK OF RESPECT
“Respect” covers a lot of emotional ground. It’s about showing kindness and care to your partner. It means showing interest and soft-pedaling the negativity and criticism. Respect means valuing them, just as you would care for a prized possession
