Signs of a Troubled Marriage

If you’re in a troubled marriage…if you’re aboard the train headed directly (do not pass GO) to Divorce Station…well, you probably don’t need a list of signs of a troubled marriage. But, a list like this can be helpful to confirm what you already know and to help you formulate your thoughts.

1. From your perception, your spouse simply cannot do anything correctly.
2. There is a lot of arguing (and possibly even physical confrontation).
3. You are having thoughts about the possibility of getting a divorce.
4. Your children are having problems (that’s to say… acting-out).
5. You purposefully avoid your spouse.
6. There is no sexual affection.
7. Someone is having an affair.
8. There is no love…only resentment and contempt.
