subject: Your Marriage Won't Last If You Do These Things - Avoid These Marriage Problems [print this page] Have you ever wondered why some couples, appear to be madly in-love even after being married for a long while and others have marriage problems? Have they figured out a secret or are they faking it you wonder because your marriage doesn't seem like it's headed down the same road because of your marriage problems.
Well, I would like to share with you some of the things that can keep your marriage from being long lasting and blissful and they are as follows;
Playing Mind Games
Remember back in elementary or high school how cool it was to try and manipulate or mess with the mind and heart of someone you liked or disliked very much. Unfortunately, some of those same games stayed with folks and are now creating marriage problems.
Here are some examples of game playing and perhaps you are guilty from time to time participating in them;
If he or she isn't talking to me then I'm not talking either. Let's see how long we can go without talking to each other.
If I can't have what I want then we won't be spending any intimate time together.
I'll flirt with folks when we are hanging out to make him or her jealous and appreciate me more.
If he or she doesn't get along with my family then I don't want to be around his or her family.
Playing mind and heart games with your spouse is dangerous and will hurt your marriage. If you are guilty of these or others please stop now and avoid serious marriage problems.
Suffering From the "I" and "Mine" Mentality
Going back to the younger days of life (toddler stage) have you noticed that some kids are able to share and play nice while others fuss, fight and cry because they believe everything is "mine, mine and mine"?
Now unfortunately some spouses have never gotten over the fact that in-order to have growth in their marriage and avoid certain marriage problems, they have to turn in the "I" and pick up the "We".
If you want a marriage that lasts then it's vital that selfishness is replaced with unselfishness. It only takes a little control and effort to make the change from always thinking about your needs to making the needs of your spouse top priority.
Trust me you can still be happy if you can't ditch the "mine" mentality but you will probably be divorced at some point because of your marriage problems.
It's important that you spend your time wisely doing things to build and strengthen your marriage instead of destructive things.
I can tell you that marriage is much better and life is too when you and your spouse enjoy each other.
