Most people think that lack of intercourse and infidelity is the leading course of failed marriages among women. But research has shown that the biggest issue that makes most women fail in marriages is a lack of communication and understanding.

It is obvious that when a woman cannot express herself in her marriage, that it will lead to stress and sadness. 

The most common obstacle in marriages and relationships is the lack of communication and understanding. It can be concerning financial worries, about the upbringing of the kids, not able to conceive, lack of attention and this might lead to anger, sadness and if care is not taken, it will lead to divorce. You might also want to ask, can I save my marriage after a long time of miscommunication? The answer is yes! 

If you are committed and ready for a change it can be achieved. Though it can be a lot of hard work, if you are determined and by God’s intervention, it can be done 

Let look at some problems that make most women fail in marriage.

  • Lack of Communication- is one of the biggest course why most women fail in marriages and relationships. Where there is no communication, no one will be able to express themselves.
  • Friends Problems- When a woman finds it more comfortable to share her struggles with a friend than a spouse, it might sometimes lead to disaster. Not everyone is happy for you. Though there are good friends out there when you met the wrong friend you can be given the wrong advice that will lead to failure in marriage and sometimes lead to a divorce.
  • Abuse Problems- Most women have been abused either by their loved ones or in previous relationships or marriage. If the trauma is not dealt with, it can lead to psychological problems where the woman goes into another relationship with fear or closed the door of getting married again.
  • Family Problems- This can be a misunderstanding between the in-laws and siblings of your spouse. Most women will come across in-laws that don’t like them. This might be as a result of them thinking that the woman has stolen the love of their son from them. She will become the target of hate and if care is not taken or if the man is the type that believes all the family says, this might lead to separation in marriages.
  • Expectation Problems- When a woman enters into a marriage with so much expectation, expecting to be completed by her spouse. She might be disappointed. So develop self-love, be happy for who you are, because if you can’t find love within you, you can either not find it out there. But when you appreciate yourself and who you are, others will see through that and will be careful not to underestimate you.
  • Lack Of Time For each Other– Most women prefer their work to their marital homes. This is bound to create a separation in your marriage. 

Here Are Some Times To Help You Succeed In Your Marriage

When a woman is desperate to save her marriage, she must also be ready to do that. As a woman, the number one thing you need is to believe that there is nothing impossible for God to do. When you have God as your foundation, you will surely overcome every plan and obstacle of the devil. 

  • Communication- This is the biggest problem in marriage. It will be very important to communicate with your spouse when things are not okay in your home. I know some spouses don’t have the patience to listen, they might become so hard when you try to correct or discuss with them. Some will rather give you a short answer, be patient, and find a more comfortable time to communicate with him.
  • Make The First Move- When you notice a problem in your marriage, as a woman go down on your knees and communicate with God. Invite Him into your marriage. Yes, it is good to seek the help of an expert when it is out of control, but as a believer who God has promised to help in any case, learn to call on him first. Allow God to lead you and don’t be quick to take the matter to your friends or inlaws. Psalm 50:15 ”And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me”
  • Take Time To Know You- Take time to know yourself and see if you are not overreacting or allowing your past experienced to interfere in your present relationship. Ask yourself if you have moved past hurt and reassure yourself that you are ready to make it work. I must say that if the relationship is abusive and has a trace of physical and emotional abuse, you need to seek help.
  • Talk Less- Never you be a woman that overrides your spouse. Here is where respect comes in. Learn to listen and iron things out that are bothering you. Don’t develop the attitude of nagging because no man needs a nagging woman. Learn to listen and react respectfully to your husband. 
  • Separate Work from Family Time- Never be too busy for your spouse. Always be ready for him. Show him love and do the cooking. Most women become too busy to cook or do the laundry for their spouses, even for their kids rather they hire a house help to them do their marital job and parental job for them. All they do is work work work. They are going from one meeting to another. they go after their carrier that their marital responsibility is abandoned.

Never be too busy to take care of your home, because as woman it’s your responsibility to make your home suitable for your family.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
