We all make vows during our wedding day to stick with our spouse “til death do us part” but we can only fulfill these vows by dumping some bad habits that destroy our marriage.
Here are 6 habits that can destroy your marriage
1. YOU NEGLECT YOUR SPOUSE TO FOCUS ON YOUR KIDS
Many marriages have fallen apart because the couples put so much focus on their kids and neglected their spouse. Just as you invest in your kids, you should also ensure you invest in your marriage. Do not forget that your children are learning about marriage by watching you.
2. YOU HOLD GRUDGES
You can’t build a good marriage if you hold grudges and keep scores. You create room for bitterness in your marriage when you hold a grudge and keep scores. Be quick to admit fault when you are wrong and be quick to forgive when your partner hurts you.
3. YOU MAKE DECISIONS ALONE
Making decisions alone is a habit that can destroy your marriage. It’s important you consult your partner before making any decision. Never go into marriage with the mentality that you don’t have to answer to anyone.
4. YOU ARE SECRETIVE
Secrecy destroys marriages. Every healthy marriage is built on transparency and honesty. You destroy your marriage when you start having online conversations that you hope your partner won’t see or you start keeping your phones away from your spouse.
5. YOU DON’T GIVE YOUR MARRIAGE YOUR BEST
You destroy your marriage when you fail to give your marriage your best. Always strive to give your spouse your best. Many stop giving their best after months or years of being married and this is wrong.
6. YOU DON’T DO THINGS TOGETHER
You destroy your marriage when you don’t do things together as a couple. The more you do things together as a couple, the stronger your marriage becomes.
