Sometimes it's difficult for us to see our relationship for what it really is.
When you've been married for some time you may discount some of the problems in your marriage as being just part of the relationship.
Couples can fall into a rut and then start to overlook common problem issues and just assume that everyone deals with the same struggles.
There are some bad marriage signs that do indicate that there is real trouble between you and your spouse.
These indicators just can't be ignored.
One of the most common bad marriage signs is a lack of communication.
When a couple stops talking to each other that's never a good thing.
If you and your partner have stopped discussing what you are feeling and thinking, you need to address that now if you want to save the relationship.
Often, a couple focuses on things like the kids and finances when they have time to talk.
They deliberately overlook the changing dynamic between them.
If those issues go ignored for too long, it's going to be too late to keep the relationship together.
Sculpting their lives so they have less time together is something many couples start to do when they feel the marriage is shifting.
One of the bad marriage signs that you may have been ignoring in your own relationship is that you and your spouse are constantly looking for ways to be apart.
It starts out with a few hours in the evening when one of you has to work late or the other goes out to spend time with friends.
If it gets to a point where you aren't taking family vacations together or attending family functions as a couple, things have reached a crisis point.
