Open, honest and safe communication are the ingredients of any perfect relationship. Although no relationship is perfect; Every couple has to put in an equal amount of efforts to make it healthy and successful. With the little gestures of love and care, you can make the significant other feel more valued and esteemed. According to relationship therapists, falling in love is easy but staying in love is difficult. So, if you want to be in a long-term relationship, make your partner happy on a daily basis rather than planning a great day after a week or a month.

Like any relationship, making a marriage work is difficult too. A research published by family law specialists revealed that 56% of spouses think that their partners have changed dramatically since they walked down the aisle. And all this happens because of turning minor issues into the major dissension. It might be a casual habit that you watch TV late at night but have you noted that this routine is bothering your partner?

Here are other seemingly harmless habits that can destroy your marriage.

1. Expecting Your Significant Other To Do All The Work

You are not a team in happiness only. Never expect your partner to do the daily chores while you are lying on the bed, munching snacks and asking for a cup of tea!

2. Being Irresponsible With Money

A couple shares everything with each other whether it is emotions, feelings or resources aka money! You don’t earn for yourself anymore because you have a family now. But if the significant other spends money on unnecessary things or just to show off, it will definitely make the spouse angry.

3. Ignoring Your Partner While Lying On The Same Bed

Bedtime is the only time where you both get some time alone together. It is not just about the intimate moments only. A couple can discuss their whole day activities while lying on the bed or even sleep at the same time. But if you are glued to your smartphone and keep ignoring your significant other, how could you expect to make your relationship work? A study from the University of California, Berkeley, looked at the sleep habits of more than 100 couples. Those who reported poor sleep were much more likely to argue with their significant other the next day.

4. Telling Your Close Ones About Each And Everything

The trust level between the two might get weaker if you start telling each and everything about your partner to your friends or family. It is okay to talk about your marriage with others but revealing your secrets or telling about your little fights might get you in the trouble.

5. Comparing Your Family With Your Significant Others All The Time

Everyone has some emotions for their family. If you start placing your family higher than your significant others, it is totally unfair and might become a reason for conflict.

Keep in mind that marriage is not without conflict but creating conflicts and dealing them with anger would cause harm to both. Never estimate the power of communication and love, all the issues can be resolved if taken care with love.
