Happy Marriages do Happen
An often asked question by unhappy married persons essentially asks. Is there really some marriages that are happy ones? Happy marriages occur when two people provide for the reasonable needs of their spouse in an understanding way. They do it cause it’s a special gesture that they would not ordinarily do for others but for their spouse they are willing to take the leap. They want to fulfill a need and they want mutuality.
They encourage, appreciate, celebrate and argue but have learned to agree to disagree a good deal of the time. They soothe, touch, hug and create an inviting space to be in not one to run away from.
Not so easy but hey
some marriage s figure it out.
Some are modeled after their family non-role models and that drags your marriage down into a place that’s familiar but not what or where you want your marriage to be .
Some of marriage has to be a creation fashioned by the two of you. It comes about from a bit of conflict turned into a new mutual vision for your marriage. One that bares your marriages unique stamp on it. Not your family. Not your friends. But intimately your creation.The unique creation that wouldn’t have happened if the two of you hadn’t crafted it into the saga of the evolution of your special marriage connection.

Infidelity in Your Marriage
Infidelity cheating it happens. Listen to the songs and you’ll know it happens a lot. It happens because of boredom, opportunity, anger, close proximity, the internet and but it involves breaking trust with someone who believes in that trust. With trust gone a relationship is in real trouble and the consequences can be explosive. People can get over this breach in a relationship but with other people’s opinions in your ear mixed with resentment sometimes the relationship is just over done Finito. If you’re worried about it or it’s already happened listen to yourself first find out if there is room for renewal. If there is OK and if there’s not OK. Finally if you do choose to try again and forgive it’s naturally OK to be furiously angry. Look you were just stung in the most vulnerable place by the person you trust most. But try not to spend your life punishing your spouse. The relationship will be unfulfilling. Getting over an affair is a process that takes time but at some point you need to let go and move on with life.

Marital Turn On Turn Off
So we get married and all the image layers come peeling off. We’re in close quarters and what could be intimate in our marriages falls victim to real life. Early on we get used to comments insults and reactions. He use to be so sensitive and hear what I have to say. She used to be so affectionate now I can’t get close. why does he always do this when we are having sex. Why does she always say the wrong thing at the wrong time…’That tickles do it this way.
With each new encounter first month to 30 years comes new reactions that come to be expected. We teach each other who we are and what we can expect. We file these reactions and this all comes together in formulating our marital expectations.
We communicate and without even knowing we’re turning our spouses off. We’re human we get use to things. I can’t talk to her when she’s and he does this when he is pressured. Soon our day to day lives are running on automatic pilot. Hurt and needs go unnoticed and we become insensitive. Some of us become our parents marriages.
So what to do. A little reality check-in might be in order…you know honey why is it that we act the way we do. This really turns me off when you do this and I get so mad and frustrate. I don’t want to be that way. Can you be a little more considerate and not so punitive.
Hey you two roll up those sleeves and tackle some of this marital inertia by looking at your behavior and standing in your spouse’s shoes. Extinguish some of the turn offs and you’ll open the door for a more understanding marriage with less friction and a smoother happier relationship will have the room to emerge.
