Is lack of communication in marriage debilitating your marital happiness?<\/span><\/p>\n When you’ve been married for a long time, you might think that a lack of communication in marriage is common.<\/span><\/p>\n You get into a rut or a routine and you go into action mode to get everything done.<\/span><\/p>\n Though you’re married to one another, it’s easy to take it all for granted and therefore over time communication seems to go away. What were once enjoyable conversations with one another turn into functional chats in the hallway. <\/span><\/p>\n You may go an entire day without even talking to one another, and you probably think that this is normal.<\/span><\/p>\n Though the conversations definitely shift over time, the reality is that when you’re not really talking to one another it can cause bigger <\/span>problems in your marriage<\/span><\/a>. Marriage without communication, without exchange of thoughts, feelings and emotions is unsustainable.<\/span><\/p>\n You might find that you’re not really mindful of making each other a priority, and so when the communication starts to slip the marriage can head into a danger zone. <\/span><\/p>\n It doesn’t mean that you can’t fix it, but you want to be sure that you never take good communication for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n There are some serious problems that can come about when the communication begins to suffer, and if you are aware of these and ensure that you keep things heading in the right direction then <\/span>love<\/span><\/a> will conquer all. <\/span><\/p>\n Studies <\/span><\/a>show that “more satisfied spouses showed more positive, less negative, and more effective communication.”<\/span><\/p>\n Here are the reasons that a lack of communication in marriage can really be problematic.<\/b><\/p>\n This might not sound like a big problem, but it really is. When you’re married you should be the first person that each of you turns to for support, help, and respect. <\/span><\/p>\n When that is lacking then you may turn to somebody else out of necessity, and this doesn’t often end well. When you’re not really talking or when you feel that you can’t talk to each other, then the support goes away and you <\/span>become more like roommates<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n How do you know if you’re not being supportive of your partner?<\/span><\/p>\n Take Quiz: <\/b>Are You Spouses Or Just Roommates?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n When there is no communication in a marriage between partners, except for things pertaining to your routines, understand there is inadequate support in your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n Remember that you should always lift each other up and talk to each other, and so the two are very closely linked. <\/span>When you focus on good communication<\/span><\/a> then the support for each other comes much more naturally.<\/span><\/p>\n So when you make these both a priority you end up with a much happier marriage now and in the long term as well.<\/span><\/p>\n If you’ve had a couple of days or weeks where you’re not really talking, it can feel like you’re living with a stranger. Though you may not mean for it to happen, lack of communication in a marriage can make you feel like you have lost each other. <\/span><\/p>\n If you don’t keep the communication going then you feel like you lose each other.<\/span><\/p>\n If this continues over time then the <\/span>intimacy<\/span><\/a> eventually suffers, the connection is weakened, and you find it hard to find common ground. <\/span>Lack of communication in marriage leads to <\/span><\/a>divorce<\/span><\/a> sometimes when there is nothing left to share or to talk about between two partners.<\/span><\/p>\n Lack of marriage communication leads to divorce, beware of these signs that indicate that you and your partner have become strangers.<\/span><\/p>\n You may find that you argue more and spend less and less time with one another. Though lack of communication or no communication on some days may not be a problem, if this continues over time then you will have an undesirable situation and really crave that connection. <\/span><\/p>\n Be aware of this and don’t let conversations be on hold for too long if you want to stay connected and in love.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>1. You don’t look to each other for support<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/span>2. You may feel like you’re living with a stranger<\/span><\/h2>\n
