You’ve never fought.

Listen, just because you don’t fight doesn’t mean that you don’t disagree on things. What it usually means is that one of you is too scared to bring up the matter.

Your issues won’t be fixed just because your home is always marked by serene and utter silence and peace”. There’s no such thing unless you’re both master communicators, in which case you should already know that conflict can also be healthy.

Of course, if handled the right way, If you hide things from your significant other out of fear of being rejected or judged, try to fight that feeling. Remember that your partner loves you for who you are, especially when you tell the truth.

You don’t touch

Touch is the most important block to intimacy and connection. If it lacks, then you shouldn’t wonder why your marriage won’t last. Touch gives a certain sense of being connected and completely in sync with each other.

Touch is also reassuring and affirming. Partners feel safe around each other because they touch, offering loving and supportive affection.

    There are times when human beings just don’t get along with each other and that goes along with every marriage. Those who divorce over compatibility have not being true to their vows for better or worst and not allowing that love they felt for each other initially to come back through for them.
    My wife and I have been married for 53 years and even yet we have times where we disagree and don’t get along with each other. Let it ride!! Don’t allow your ego and pride to get in the way of your relationship with each other.
    Infidelity is another issue. Divorce in this instance is for the hardness of your heart. Only you can decide whether to forgive or not.
