Marriage Ain't What It Used to Be

By: Alan Bentley

Every day, men and women with relationship "challenges" go through this little dance. It's a dance of avoidance, avoiding what's really bothering them. Avoiding what's really important. Broken vows and broken promises serve up a multitude of problems that today's couples are finding harder and harder to avoid. For certain, marriage ain't what it used to be.

Yet avoiding these little problems can have huge implications for you and all your other relationships. A snowball effect occurs. If you're not happy at home, it will eventually find its way into other parts of your life as well. Maybe your production at work drops off or you simply don't smile anymore. Either way, your friends, family, and co-workers start to notice that you're not yourself anymore. Suddenly, you're different.

They might ask if you're not feeling well. They might just start avoiding you altogether! You end up feeling like you have no one to talk to. You'd talk to your family, but they might just tell you it's all in your head or, even worse, just tell you to grin and bear it. Your friends all have their own issues and have little time to solve your problems. You'd go to therapy, but it's both time-consuming and costly, and you have only so much to give. Whatever you decide to do, the truth is undeniable. Your overall prosperity hinges on how successful your love relationships are.

In general, your relationships are going to be as good as your ability to communicate with the men in your life. Given that we guys don't share our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions as much as much as we should, wouldn't it be great if there were an instruction manual included?

Unfortunately, you're not given one by your clergyman after you've said your vows. Even worse, the same skill set that brought you and your man together has little to do with the long term health of your relationship.

I was once told that it's far easier to get into to something than it is to get out of it. Those who have gone through a breakup or worse a divorce know this all to well. All you know when starting a new relationship is that you really don't know. The journey that men and women embark on is often not the journey they end with.

Love comes and goes to many. Passions flare and love burns only to be extinguished with one wrong word or mistake. Love is and never was easy. In the end isn't that what makes love so grand?
