The Three Killers Of Marriage

Everyone in a troubled marriage has a complex story as to how their current situation developed. And yet, as we have seen by working with countless couples, all problems in marriage stem from the same underlying mistakes. Fortunately there aren't many of them and once you learn about them, you'll be able to apply our tools to easily avoid them in the future.

Why marriages fail is not as complicated as many think.

Contrary to popular belief, many of the commonly believed marriage-ending-problems are not terminal at all. Issues such as watching porn, infidelity, financial issues, "falling out of love", and more are actually recoverable, when you understand what causes them and know how to rebuild from there. However there are three behaviors that are absolutely destructive to marriage, and as long as they continue to persist in your marriage, it will continue to degrade until your marriage ends, or you turn it around.

Killer #1: Over Familiarity

This is the most common killer and is present in every single marriage that is not doing well. It is present even when couples think, "everything is fine." It starts off very small and subtle, and grows unnoticed. However it is easy to identify by analyzing how you treat each other in your marriage. This killer alone can lead a couple to divorce and often does.

Over familiarity means taking each other for granted.

This usually happens when both individuals gradually start treating each other like siblings, or worse. Perhaps they expect their spouse to stay out of "their space", yet intrude into their spouse's space without hesitation; with criticisms or snide remarks. Or their speech and behavior becomes crude and disrespectful, yet they feel offended when treated that same way. Maybe you act as if you have the right to judge, criticize and berate your spouse, or they do the same. The easiest way to identify this misery causing killer is to compare how you behaved when you and your spouse were courting with how you behave now. You were probably respectful, appreciative, nice, and had some element of independence and privacy. If there is a difference to your current relationship, then you have become over familiar.

Killer #2: Poor Communication

Most people think they have a breakdown in communication when they feel unheard by their spouse, or their spouse is not doing what they think they should be doing. When their spouse doesn't appear to listen, they think their spouse needs classes in communication. Few consider their own failure to communicate. We all communicate differently depending on circumstances and relationships. You speak to your boss differently than you would to your neighbor, or a police officer. A big mistake many couples make is not realizing the way they communicate with their spouse is supposed to be unique, unlike any other venue of life. The particular needs of marital communication demand a special understanding in order to get the greatest amount of happiness from your marriage. Couples who speak to their spouses as they do with everyone else in their lives, especially combined with over familiarity, end up in a living hell.

Killer #3: Business Deal Mindset

How do you tell if ED is physical or mental?

It's likely that if he has an erection when he's sleeping the paper will break to some degree. If a guy easily gets an erection during sleep, but not in other situations, the cause is likely psychological. If however, he can't tell or an erection isn't happening, the reason is likely physical.

When dealing with erectile problems or erectile dysfunction the cause may not be clear. However, there are some basic ways to gain a better sense of what might he might be experiencing. To do this, a man can think about how his body responds in various situations. The first assignment is to assess what medications a man is taking that may interfere with his sexual functioning. The second assignment is to take note if he has an erection during the night or upon awakening. This body response is known as nocturnal penile tumescence and can indicate that he's able to have an erection. If a guy isn't sure, he can wrap a very thin and narrow piece of tissue paper around his flaccid penis, secured with a little bit of scotch tape. It's likely that if he has an erection when he's sleeping the paper will break to some degree. If a guy easily gets an erection during sleep, but not in other situations, the cause is likely psychological. If however, he can't tell or an erection isn't happening, the reason is likely physical. The third assignment is for a man to consider his experience with masturbation. If a guy can get aroused when he's alone and not when he's with a partner, the cause is psychological. While these are only three basic facets of physical and psychological causes they can help determine what type of expert to contact in an effort to understand what is going on and who to see for help.
