Ten signs a marriage is in trouble

2. You don’t feel loved and respected and/or you have a hard time displaying love and respect to your spouse.

Men and women both need to feel loved and to feel respected. When we’re not feeling loved, it’s hard to give love. When we’re not feeling respected, it’s difficult to give respect. In a healthy marriage, we must be willing to love our spouse even when he/she isn’t being lovable. We must give respect even when he/she isn’t acting respectable. We need to give our best even when our spouse is at his/he worst. It’s not easy, but it’s an important part of what makes a marriage work.
