Every marital relationship is unique. However, there are common warning signs and red flags that could indicate there are serious problems in a marriage. If you find yourself with these concerns, do not ignore them, and hope that they will simply go away. They usually do not and left unacknowledged, they could even get worse.
Instead, you need to have an open, honest, and respectful talk with your spouse about the problems in your marriage. It can be a difficult conversation to have, but it is necessary.

Don't Wait to Seek Professional Help
If you feel that the problems in your marriage are unsolvable, it's time to enlist the help of a professional. That said, to receive the most from marriage counseling, you don't want to wait until your marriage is beyond repair. A marriage therapist can be an ally to your marriage. They will not take sides (within reason). Rather, they will guide you through the tough communication that's needed with your partner, help you create safety and connection, and teach you how to recognize (and change) negative communication patterns.
