Many people enter into marriage with the idea that it will be easily blissful and that their spouse will meet all of their expectations. All to often, they find themselves quickly disappointed, when the way they thought it would be is different from the way it is turning out to be.

It is easy to blame their spouse for not measuring up and for not making them happy. Little disappointments turn into inwardly-held resentments or angry confrontations, which can have a destructive effect upon the marriage.

Patterns are developed by the reactions each has to the other. These patterns can become repetitive over time, and if negative, can bring about deterioration of the marital relationship. Some begin to question themselves and their mate, wondering if they have made a mistake, or wondering if they truly love their spouse. Many related difficulties can surface. Distance, aloofness, decreased intimacy, anger, arguments, unresolved conflict, resentments, and miscommunications can become commonplace.

The good news is that none of these situations needs to become chronic, devastating, or even present within the marriage. Each of these tendencies has solutions, and couples can, with relative ease, create a highly satisfactory marriage. Their marriage can be filled with tremendous happiness and joy, closeness and togetherness, understanding and friendship, intimacy and positively-met needs.
