Seek Help Early with Marriage Difficulties PDF Print E-mail

Did you know that the average couple waits and entire six years before asking help for marital difficulties? This fact is from the Gottman Institute, a research facility that has been studying marriage since 1973. Furthermore, most marriages end within the first seven years (also called "the seven year itch").

 

This is a sad state of affairs. It means that so many couples live with unhappy marriages for far too long. Unhappiness in marriage will ultimately lead to divorce in the majority of cases. Not only this, but unhappy marriages can affect the lives of the individuals themselves, subjecting them to depression, self-esteem issues or even abuse. Therefore, it is imperative to seek help early when marital conflicts arise.

What are some signs of marital conflict?

Chances are pretty good that if you are experiencing marital conflict, you know it. But perhaps you brush it off as something that might pass. All marriages have their ups and downs, but sustained conflict in a marriage is not a way to live.

Here are some common signs that your marriage may need help:

     

  • Shouting and yelling on a regular basis
  • Name calling and "hitting below the belt," pushing buttons are purpose
  • Harsh criticism of your partner or of you from your partner
  • Things being thrown at each other or other acts of violence (this needs immediate attention)
  • Not being able to talk about problems calmly or working through conflicts and disagreements.
  • Rehashing bad memories or resentments. If the same things keep coming up over and over again.
  • Getting angry over little things the other person says or does, even if it wouldn't normally be warranted
  • Feeling worthless or unwanted in your marriage or making your spouse feel that way.
  • Not feeling accepted for who you are in the marriage.
  • Being suspicious of your spouse's motivations or not trusting your spouse.

Men’s Rights – Perspiration or Inspiration?

As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"

Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.

Follow Yourself; Not Tradition

As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc. by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.

And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.

To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
