Things To Do In An Unhappy Marriage
Severally people go into marriage with blissful expectations, but over time the desire for bliss in the union remains unfulfilled making either one or the two parties involved unhappy. However, there are ways you can overcome such situations.
Here are things to do if you find yourself in an unhappy marriage.
Keep the problem away from children
A lot of couples make the mistake of fighting in front of their children. That is the worst thing you can do! Not only does it make the children feel unsafe, it brings them into adult issues that they should not be involved in.
Make list of what makes you unhappy
You should be able to know what exactly are you unhappy about? What do you want to change that would make you happy? Once you look at the list, you might find that some of your reasons are petty or insignificant.
Talk To your spouse about the list
Now that you have everything clear in your head, you are ready to talk to your spouse. Bring your lists that you just made above to the table and talk it out. The purpose of that list is not just to get your thoughts down on paper, but to have a clear path to your conversation.
Think of compromise
You need to talk logically and rationally about these problems. Neither one of you should get defensive or overly emotional/aggressive, because that will not work if you do. Try to meet in the middle and come up with some compromises to save yourself from the daily pangs of an unhappy marriage.
Wait to see how both of you can implement changes
Naturally, people are good with change in the beginning, but then they start to slip back into their old ways again. So, wait and see how well both of you are going to implement these changes.
Re-negotiate if first attempt didn’t work
If, after some time, nothing really changes to your satisfaction, then you should try again. Real change is long-term and so you need to wait it out and keep trying.
