Perfecting Marriage

 14 Key points to Making it work:

 
  1. Conflicting Core Values – If your core beliefs on family, religion, ethics, finances, etc., don’t align, the relationship will eventually crumble.

  2. Unrealistic Expectations – Marriage isn’t a fairy tale; unmet expectations are a major reason for divorce.

  3. Emotional Intimacy – If an emotional connection fades, the relationship suffers, increasing the risk of separation.

  4. Finances – Money issues are the #1 cause of divorce. Transparency, responsibility, and shared goals are key.

  5. Communication Skills – Poor communication leads to misunderstandings, resentment, and eventually, divorce.

  6. Personal Growth – Both partners need to continue growing individually while supporting each other’s goals.

  7. Unresolved Childhood Trauma – Past wounds, if unaddressed, will manifest in the relationship.

  8. Mismatched Sex Drives – Intimacy is vital. Scheduling, communication, and physical attraction must be maintained.

  9. Losing Yourself in the Relationship – Maintaining personal hobbies, friendships, and identity prevents resentment.

  10. Handling Conflict – It’s not about if you fight, but how you fight. Conflict should be constructive, not destructive.

  11. Life Goals Alignment – If you’re not moving in the same direction regarding kids, careers, and lifestyle, it won’t work.

  12. Repair After Conflict – Arguments are inevitable; how well you reconcile determines the strength of the relationship.

  13. Ignoring Each Other’s Needs – Neglecting emotional or physical needs breeds resentment.

  14. Love Isn’t Enough – Trust, respect, teamwork, and shared purpose are required for a lasting marriage.
