Problem 1 - Cheating/Infidelity
There is no greater threat to a relationship ending then one partner cheating on the other person. Cheating brings about so many dangers but can also hurt you and your "supposed" partner. This cheating destroys any trust, feeling and forgiveness your partner may have for you. Cheating, unfortunately, is a common occurrence in society and is rising. How can you keep from failing your marriage? It's quite simple don't cheat. Leave your clothing on for the one you chose to be with. However, if you do cheat, the best things you can do are to beg for forgiveness and change your ways.
Problem 2 - Lack of Affection
When couples love each other, it's easy to show some sort of affection. However, over time, you may still love each other but take each other for granted, assuming that the other knows how you feel. Instead, keep them informed of your feelings. Not doing this can lead to hard feelings and breakups. You can prevent this breakup by letting your other half know how much you love them and how important they are to you.
Problem Number 3 - In-fighting
Would you believe that fighting in a marriage relationship can be good for it? It's very natural for couples to fight and it's healthy too. Yet, it can be dangerous too. Don't lose your cool over every single thing. Fights can tell you what the pertinent issues your relationship is facing. If they are overlooked and not dealt with, your marriage will not succeed but fail. However, remind yourselves that you do love each other, why you fell in love and take the good things along with the bad ones.
Problem Number 4 - Controlling Partner
While in the romantic movies it may be funny to see the overbearing girlfriend/wife, brandishing a cell phone, demanding to know where her boyfriend/husband has been. The man may sit there and tell her "Yes, ma'am, Yes, dear". However, real life is never that funny and should never been viewed as such. No one, man or woman, should tell you what to do, how to act and certainly should never control anything about you. A marriage like this lacks trust. It's also seen as a form of abuse too psychological abuse. If you are with your partner, you should have some trust in him or her.
