Trouble In Paradise? Here’s What You Can Do In our society, the norm is that a marriage is a holy tie between two individuals and that nothing or no one can bring about any uneasiness between a couple. However, for people in the real world and not the one created due to delusion, there are plenty of cases where marriages have ended, or have at least endured a huge patchy phase. Due to these unrealistic expectations from companionship, the idea of marriage counseling is also considered a taboo in most parts of our country. However, in recent years, just like the conversation around mental health has picked up, the idea of marriages facing issues has also come under the limelight. Today’s urban lifestyle, work pressure, peer pressure, the compulsive need to look perfect on social media have all led to issues in a marriage. Sometimes, just one of these reasons is enough to trigger a series of unfortunate events. So, how do you recognise that your marriage needs a lot more than just another baby to go back to normal? Also, spoiler alert, if you and your partner having troubles, a baby most definitely will not solve any of them. One of the most common signs of a rocky patch is that conversations no longer happen between you two. If it is tough to either start or continue to a conversation, then you might have reached a saturation point in your marriage. That does not necessarily mean that you need to get divorced. It essentially means that you need to work on your relationship, and that feeling of “organic love and conversations” will have to be re-instilled. This is where a relationship advisor can come into play. Different kinds of exercises in therapy can help ignite that feeling of affection and love which can get lost. Marriage counseling can also help put things into perspective. When you have been living with the problems for so long, you lose the ability the look at a problem in isolation and it becomes a chain of events wherein you start fighting about one thing but end up continuing that fight about something completely else. Another telltale sign of trouble in paradise is the lack of affection you feel. Due to the continuing problems and fights, you end up having a tunnel vision about the relationship. This results in both the people in a relationship losing sight of what is important and the core reason why they decided to get married. A counseling psychologist here can help the couple redefine their relationship and moreover, help them rediscover the reason they fell in love with each other. Sometimes, just reliving old memories and finding reasons of their union can help eradicate most of the issues they currently face. This becomes possible because a relationship advisor becomes a level of objectivity to the dynamic. Hence, if you feel like your marriage is not the same anymore, but you still want to make it work with the person you once decided to spend the rest of your life with, find a good therapist and start working on fixing your problems.
