Marriage is an amazing commitment, but it is not always easy.
Beneath the wedding portraits, family dinners, couple goals and so on is work—real work: communication, compromise, emotional availability. And when those cores of a marriage begin to dissolve, many couples realize too late that they have silently shifted into a realm where love converts to distance, and feeling together feels more obligatory.
If you have recently felt like something is not going well in a relationship, you are not alone: divorce problem rates continue go up even in cultures where marriage is thought to be sacred.
Did you know that…
In India, although the divorce problem rate is still lower in relation to western countries, divorce problem in urban areas has doubled in the last 20 years – with couples aged 28-40 in this demographic. And a leading factor? Emotional distance and unresolved conflict.
But a divorce doesn’t just “happen”, it is usually years of tiny splits that are either not seen or ignored.
Lets take a look at the 7 top red flags that can signal a marriage in strife, and what you can do to alter this.
1. Conversations Have Stopped — Or Turn Into Arguments Every Time
If they have gone from good conversations to small talk (or if every small talk suddenly escalates to a fight)—this is more than just mood. Communication is the lifeblood of a marriage, and when communication is lost, emotional connection is also lost.
What You Can Do:
Start small and with safe topics. Every evening, set aside a time to check in with each other—this time not about chores or responsibilities, but how you are really feeling. If it still feels difficult, this is a great time to seek out support from a relationship coach who may be able to work with both of you in open, de-judged conversations
2. You’re Lonely Even When You’re Together
One of the most difficult emotions to deal with in a marriage is loneliness—not the kind that arises from distance, but rather the kind that occurs when you’re lying next to someone every night, yet feel alone inside.
You might lose the will to share worries, dreams or even something good that happened to you during the day. Before you know it, you both are on a foray to find emotional comfort outside of your marriage and you do so through other things (work, other friends, social media, etc).
What you might consider doing:
Re-establish an emotional connection. Consider something simple yet powerful–go for a walk together, cook a meal together (without distractions), recreate a shared experience. More importantly, leave space for vulnerability. Engaging a coach like Sangeeta Sharma, specializing in emotional wellness, can help couples re-establish the intimacy that drew them together in the first place.
3. Lack of Intimacy and Physical Affection
While it is unrealistic to think that a honeymoon phase lasts forever, intimacy should never be absent. When physical affection—hugs, kisses, and sex—turns to zero, this can be an indicator of something deeper that could be going on.
It’s not just about sex. It’s about touch and presence and closeness. If that declines, so does the sense of truly being connected.
What can you do?
Be honest about how you’ve changed. Experience emotional disconnection? Is stress, resentment, and routine sucking the life out of you? Physical reconnection starts when both people feel emotionally safe. Emotional safety can be re-established with the help of a trained coach.
4. You Fantasize About a Life Without Your Partner
While it’s normal to want space or to think about alternative options, if you regularly tell yourself: “I’d be happier if I wasn’t married,” you may need to stop and take your thoughts seriously.
These fantasies often stem from unfulfilled emotional needs, or feeling unseen or unappreciated.
What you can do:
Instead, you might want to journal about what you feel you are missing in your marriage. Do you want more freedom, more understanding, more excitement? Before making any rash decisions, please consult with someone who can help you get clarity, not from a place of emotional pain, but from a place of self-awareness and healing.
5. Same Fights. Different Days. No Resolution.
If you seem to always be rehashing the same fights week to week, and things never seem to resolve, it can be exhausting and feel hopeless.
Whether you are trying to resolve issues relating to finances, parenting, or even how to load the dishwasher, repeated arguments generally signal that there are deeper needs or values that are not being met.
Here is what you can do:
Start by asking yourself: What is the real issue that is happening right now? Is it about control, fear, a lack of appreciation, triggered past experiences, etc.?
Relationship Coach Sangeeta Sharma specializes in pulling apart the deeper pieces of these wounds and helps couples figure out solutions that do not blame each other but build understanding.
