The Horror of Alienation in Your Marriage

The good news is that the divorce rate has dropped from 50% to 30%. That's great news actually. It means that couples are finding ways to work through their differences and stay committed to their vows to be together for a lifetime. But what happens when you feel alienated or alone in your marriage? What do you do when the bridge for communication with your partner has collapsed and there is no understanding between the two of you?   If you are feeling alienated or alone in your relationship you have to let your partner know how you feel. So many divorces and failed relationships are the end result of a breakdown in communication. All of us have a need to be understood, and having a loving connection with our partners is crucial to the overall success of any long term relationship. Remember, why you fell in love with your partner in the first place and try to do something fun that the two of you both enjoy together to start the process of rebuilding your friendship with one another and re-establishing your connection. The more time you spend enjoying each others company and having fun with one another, the easier it will be to start talking about things again.
