Loneliness In Marriage

Loneliness in marriage has affected so many marriages negatively, it has caused havoc and pushed couples farther away from each other. Today we are going to be discussing about factors that lead to loneliness in marriage and how to fix them.

1. Communication Issues: This is a major role when it comes to loneliness in Marriage. Communication is the ability to communicate, share experiences and express emotions to one another, if this is lacking in marriage then definitely loneliness comes in. Honey the only way to solve this is to do better in communication, it should be a joint effort, you both have to come together and agree for it to work.

2. Changing Dynamics: in this case, the couple have gotten to know each other and now they have noticed some changes in one another, her hubby might have changed, his favourite show might be different, little things like these causes difference's leading to loneliness. Can this be fixed? Yes it can, you will have to learn or study your partner, if you could love the person to point of walking down the aisle then you can do it again.

3. Unmet Expectations: I know a lady who got married because she felt her boyfriend was the perfect man, he would come back from work and serve dinner, do the laundry, basically house chores, when they got married he changed, he didn't do the things he used as often, she became pissed because her " expectations were unmet". How do we fix it ? I know it's tough but you have to move on and learn to fall in love with your partner again, have a conversation with your partner, and you both will figure it out..

4. External Stressors: Such as work, religious activities and so many more, it's a huge problem, you both have to sit down and discuss how to move forward. If you both don't agree and figure out how it can be adjusted for you both to have time for each other then I'm sorry, you won't only be lonely but you might 'hit the rock'. So sit down and think of means to create more time for each other.

5. Lack Of Intimacy: Like it or not intimacy is a very core factor in marriage,it helps the couple to bond,you need every form of intimacy, physically. Emotionally be "invested" in each other. If you want to avoid loneliness then Intimacy is a must.

6. Individual Growth: In most cases it is said that a woman tends to be more mature than a man, but that's in some cases, changes will come, you both will grow individually and if it is not cautioned one of you might get lonely because of the individual differences. But you can fix it, if you both work together you can fix it.

7. Neglecting Quality Time: This shouldn't be ignored, it's a major problem that affects marriages today, some couples don't have time for each other and it affects their marriages dangerously, when one person is busy with work or business what happens if maybe the other spouse works remotely? The only solution to this is to simply create time for each other.

8. Unresolved Conflicts: This is a huge problem, the inability resolve a conflict, the difficult task of apologizing to one another after a fight, on this case the conflict is unresolved because both parties have chosen to be right, I assure you that if you continue at this rate you both will be lonely in your marriage, so please resolve that conflict, be the bigger person and apologize and then make your partner see reasons with you, don't say they aren't going to see, once you've apologized trust me they will. Resolve that conflict today.

My mum says marriage is a school that we can never graduate from in other words we learn new things every time in Marriage,what you have to do is to be patient and trust the process also understand that in the end everything is going to be alright.
