How to Stay in a Marriage that Has No Love
Have you ever wondered if a marriage could stay alive if there was no love in it? A marriage can remain as long as the couples want to stay married. Should you get a divorce if you are no longer in love with your spouse? Only you can answer this but you should be sure that this is what you want to do before you tell your spouse.
I have seen couples who are no longer in love and they let it show by continuing to let everything that the other person does bother them. If you are getting to this point in your marriage, think hard about where your marriage will end up and if you should seek professional help.
If you are still in love with your spouse and you think that your spouse is no longer in love with you, work towards figuring out if they really are in love with you and what you can do to correct the problem. You may not even be the reason that your spouse is acting this way and he just may have been having a hard time at work.
If you choose to remain in a marriage even though both you and your spouse have made it clear that you are no longer in love with each other but do not want to go through the hassle of a divorce, try to compromise on what you both should do and how you want to continue your lives. Communication is always an important part of a relationship and it should always be something that married couples have.
Staying married for the kids is not always the smartest thing to do and it can actually traumatize the children. Have you ever seen a couple that said that they were staying married because of the kids? Most of these couples will continue to live their lives without showing love to the other spouse and kids are smart when it comes to figuring things out. Doing this will only send kids a mixed signal about the way that couples should live. If you find yourself arguing with your spouse all the time and yet you want to stay married for the kids, the arguing can actually hurt the kids.
A marriage is something that joins a couple together but it is also something that can pull a couple a part. Some couples are just better off without being married while others seem to not want to live any other way and will continue to work at it until they are the happy couple that they once were.

Post a CommentI have been married for 10 years and I so tired. All I want is to be single and left alone. The sad part is that I do not think I was ever in love with my husband. Since our marraige my husband has done nothing to support me. He is very selfish and only cares about himself. In order to give you an idea of how selfish he is. He has never accompanied me to any doctors appt doing my pregnancies. Nor did he go to the hospital with me to deliver. Although I had major surgery with the birth of my first child, he did not take anytime off work to stay with me when I brought our son home. I was there alone and had to do everything including going up and down the stairs to get the baby bottles. In 2006, I lost 2 sisters in a tragic accident and he did not accompany me to either of the funerals, nor did he take care of our young son so he would not have to attend both funerals in the same week. And when my mother died the year before, I had to give him gas money and the use of my car to
