3 Reasons Why You Are Unhappy In Your Marriage

By Christopher Hall

It is easy to become unhappy in your marriage - especially in today’s world of unmet needs and unfulfilled expectations. So why are you unhappy in your marriage and what can you do to fix the problem?

Unforgiven Mistakes

What do you do when your spouse makes a mistake? Some mistakes might be relatively small (loses their temper) or relatively large (has an affair). Marriage after marriage is torn apart because there is no forgiveness in the relationship.

Solution: Your spouse is not perfect – they never will be. And because they make mistakes, you are going to have to learn how to forgive. Sometimes your spouse will be repentant; sometimes they won’t be. You don’t want to allow yourself to be hurt over and over again, but you must not harbor anger and bitterness. You must forgive.

Unfulfilled Expectations

My wife and I were talking about this the other day. When we got married, we had all of these ideas about how our life, our marriage, and our family were going to be. In some ways, our life is better than we thought it would be. In other ways, it is not.

Solution: Understand that you are not living a fairy-tale. This is reality. If you have expectations that have not been met, then try to meet them. There is nothing wrong with improvement. But don’t assume that it will be better with someone else. It won’t be. We all live the life we have created ourselves.

Unmet Needs

The number #1 cause for divorce is unmet needs. Unmet needs can be emotional physical, spiritual, etc. Unmet needs can come in many different shapes and sizes. Perhaps you don’t get the attention you need. Perhaps you don’t get the love you need. Perhaps you don’t get the encouragement you need.

Solution: Do you know what both men and women list as their #1 need in a marriage? Honest and trustworthiness. If your needs are not met, perhaps it is because you are not meeting the needs of your spouse. Be honest and trustworthy. If your spouse can trust you in every situation, then you will be much happier in your marriage.
