Records showed in 2012 that divorce happened every five minutes
and in 2013 the Justice Department’s annual report as reported by News24 has
put South Africa on the map in terms of matrimonial woes as new figures show
that divorce rates has rocketed by 28% from 39, 573 to 50, 517.
Our world has a perverted and convoluted concept of Love and
Marriage that births the entire conflict in our relationships. A concept
of love that’s entirely self-seeking. Where folks has been taught to know what
they want in a relationship as a substitute to what they should give in it.
This only shaped relationships that consists of needy people
with excessive
expectations - and that’s the foremost cause of failed relationships.4 Basic Reasons Why Relationships Fail
1. Unmet Expectations
Lately, Relationships are overwhelmed by hicks that got handled
with ease in previous times. With the fleeting trend the lists of unrealistic
fantasies and excessive expectations of Marriage have basically been a chief reason
that’s breaking relationships as both couple gets slapped in the face by
disappointments with each other.
What’s weird is the ignorance they both share about each
others fantasy. And they both become gullible to separation at little quarrels
as they both sulk. While the couples live together at this phase, they are just
floating some kind of mechanical love as already within them they’d given-up on
each other.
One man once said to me “I did not marry my wife, she’s the
wrong woman” well, it’s nothing wrong with her I said, it’s simply some
fantasies you’ve had that weren’t being met.
Firstly, I’d unhesitatingly criticize these self-seeking expectations
that’s dashing people’s hope and crashing relationships. If there’s anything
our generation should know about love, it is its altruistic sacrifice – it’s
barely self-seeking.
Serving as second to the above, warm communications should
be an essential relationship condiment to you. Sulking makes nothing better. Voice
your expectations, talk about it and get to laugh over it.
2. Deficit of Openness to Improvement
People hardly fess-up when confronted about their errors,
studies had exposed that convicts never admit they’d wronged no one and they
put their feet down on it. Amidst the four phases of you - the Revealed you,
Hidden you, and Unrevealed you is an aspect of you that others know that you don’t
and that’s why you’d need to be open for improvements as your spouse
would voice those aspects, while it would be succinctly embarrassing, embrace
them and change proactively.
Pride plus a few other habits like snoring could be
discomforting to your spouse and you’d hardly know about it yourself because
you snore while you’re unconsciously deep in sleep.
Disagreements on such actual issues that are not known to
you could easily break-up promising relationships - whatever confrontation
maturely, should be approached with Love and friendliness.
3. Deficit of Wholeness
Wholeness should be a criterion for getting in a
relationship. Individuals who aren’t happy and fulfilled as singles get into
relationships with excessive baggage that bore their spouse – to add to it are
unresolved issues of hurt and abuse transferred from each others pasts.
You shouldn’t be a second half that’s too needy and
dependent on someone else to be complete. It should be a union of two complete
persons pursuing their highest purpose that’s got a life as individuals.
4. Lack of Sexual Intimacy
Lack of sexual intimacy plays a huge part in failed
relationships – because it’s designed to create a bond between you both. Well,
that’s specific for married couples. Never let your spouse feel reluctant and
ashamed asking you for sex. It gets them crumbling a downward spiral to
adultery.
Finally, if you currently had a failed relationship or
divorce, right-away you do not need another person – what’s crucial is that you
get knowledge. And I’m positive the previous breakup and divorce would be the
last.
Wow! Expressive, imaginative.
