1.
Lack of Respect – Don’t
badmouth your spouse to your friends or associates, spouses need to be
thanked. They need to know they are
appreciated.
2.
Not Listening to your Spouse –
This includes allowing your mind to wander, paying more attention to your work
or television set, ignoring body language and interpretation.
3. Lack of Sexual Intimacy – This is a
death knell for a marriage. Seek medical
counsel and therapeutically counseling if your sex life is weak. Don’t leave your spouse wondering why you
aren’t interested in sex.
4.
Always having to be right – This
includes lecturing your mate, or having to have the last word. Very few people can love a know-it-all
forever. Admit when you make mistake or
that you don’t have all the answers.
Don’t answer every simple question with a long-winded dissertation on
the topic.
5.
Not walking the Talk – Action do
speak louder than words. When you say
you will do something, do it. When you
say you won’t do something, follow through.
6. Hurtful Teasing – If your
spouse says the teasing is hurtful, consider it a put down, or think that it is
inappropriate, then stop it. Claiming
that your spouse doesn't have a sense of humour or is too sensitive is being
inconsiderate and unkind.
7. Dishonesty – Having lies and
secretes in your relationship can create distance and lack of trust between the
two of you.
8.
Being annoying – This
includes continuing to have gross personal hygiene habits, or always being
late, or nitpicking everything your spouse does, etc. It is when you know you are annoying and you
continue to annoy.
9. Being Selfish or Greedy – This is
when you spend money meant for the family on yourself, but makes a big deal if
your spouse spends a dime. This is not
wanting to open your home to friends and family because you prefer to be alone
and don’t want the hassles of entertaining. This is hogging the remote only
going to cheap restaurants when you could afford better, or not watching
programme your spouse wants to watch.
10. Having Temper Tantrums – Every
couple needs to be able to handle conflict in a constructive way. Having an angry outburst so that you can win
an argument will make you the looser in the end.
