As a result, something has to give. Unfortunately, for many couples, what gives is the very relationship they are counting on to support this bundle of joy. But, it doesn’t have to be this way.

It’s an interesting observation that many marriages going through common and solvable issues end but the really toxic ones last longer than they should. A lot of this is due to a general lack of knowledge about what makes relationships work. But some of it is due to a lack of clarity about what can and cannot be fixed. Many people in toxic marriages do everything they can to save them. Unfortunately, this is not energy and effort that is well spent. How you know if you’re in this kind of untenable relationship is a critical question to answer.

Relationships are a reflection of the two people in them, so only paying attention to what’s happening for one of them will lead to failure.
