Discovering Who's Responsible for Marital Problems

Sunday, April 22, 2012

Although people used to be able to keep their marriages together, even if they were unhappy in doing so, modern folks aren't so willing to compromise their own needs just to keep their relationships intact. With a divorce rate that easily tops 50%, this is quite evident. Going to see a marriage expert can be quite beneficial if you are having problems in your marriage before the situation escalates. The truth is that there are very few couples who won't benefit from counseling. Simply talking to someone neutral that you both know could be beneficial to your marriage although not quite as much as talking to a trained professional.


There is nothing shameful about admitting that your marriage could be better or in seeking help to deal with your problems. You shouldn't look at asking for professional help as admitting that your marriage is a failure. Instead, you should look at it as showing that you are truly committed to making your marriage work. Although going to counseling isn't a sure-fire solution, it will provide you with the best possible chance of saving your marriage. Even with counseling, you need to realize that success is going to rest 80% on you and your spouse with just 20% of the effort on the part of your counselor. If you want a magical solution to your marital problems, then you should go to a magician instead of a counselor. The work that the marriage counselor does for your marriage may be just what you need.

Couples need to first realize that there are real problems in their relationship. It's not uncommon for one partner to be in denial of any problems at all or to believe that their spouse is the one responsible for the discord. Both party's actions contribute to the problems that you experience in your relationship. You will have a hard time getting your marriage back together if you don't both accept responsibility for these actions.

You will both need to find out what each of you are doing to make all of your problems worse. In most relationships, both parties are to blame although that isn't always the case. Everything that you do gets a response from your spouse and vice versa. This is where most of the problems in your relationship will stem from. In addition to admitting that you both need to change, you have to be willing to do so.
