The courtship stage brings about a mutual commitment to a long term romantic relationship, or marriage. It is generally a long, relative stable period. Nevertheless, continued growth and development will occur during this time. Love and trust is important for sustaining the relationship. You think you are really happy, but being happy doesn t mean everything is perfect. It means you ve either overlooked or decided to see beyond the imperfections.
It is the law of nature that relationships tend to grow and improve gradually, as people get to know each other and become closer emotionally, or they gradually deteriorate as people drift apart, move on with their lives and form new relationships with others. As humans we have two minds…The logical and the emotional mind and it is more often that the emotional side takes over.
At some stage the life of many couples after marriage becomes a routine, just a life of two people, who share a home and responsibility for their children, and little else.

The most common heard complaint becomes We re not in love anymore. There are numerous people who file for divorce with the explanation, I don t love my spouse anymore. Where did the love go and how can you get it back?
Marriage problems often start small. Maybe with a lack of communication, or a lack of attention. But little problems build into larger problems over time. Often, by the time both parties realize that the problems between them have gotten out of control, the bad times outnumber the good, and almost every day brings dissatisfaction and feelings of sadness and resentment.
That level of frustration that comes with this situation makes the problem so much worse and you may feel as if you and your spouse are slowly pulling away from each other. Having that feeling of being together yet still feeling alone is one of the worst to have, and as it goes on longer in this way, divorce may seem like a very appealing answer.
So many times young people enter into marriage with the attitude of mind that if things do not work out as they would desire they can always get a divorce.

Many couples hesitate when it comes to counseling and wait too long. They feel that it s like admitting failure and giving an insight into their private lives. Others may have some kind of preconceived notion about counseling.
This article is not remotely intended to suggest condoning the sadistic tendencies in either spouse that lead to continuous physical or mental torture usually ending in one partner having to suffer in silence. In fact, one of the times when marriage counseling genuinely cannot help is when one of the partners has already become detached from the relationship or bought into the idea of divorce as the only escape from an untenable situation.
Anyone who is considering a divorce must discover the causes of divorce for their own marriage. Remember, in most of the relationships, the stage of divorce is reached only when all the means of reaching a settlement and understanding each other fail.
