Can marriage survive without love

Law Offices of Todd K. Mohink, PA CALL US NOW: 410-204-4697 Available To Help You SCHEDULE CONSULTATION ≡MENU CAN A MARRIAGE SURVIVE WITHOUT LOVE? logo Back in the 1960s, The Beatles sang “All you need is love.” But do you even need love nowadays for a successful marriage? Ideally, yes. But many couples are staying together for other reasons, such as kids. Their relationship evolves from a romantic one to a parenting one. In the past, those in rocky marriages with kids would have several options: get divorced, stay together in a miserable marriage, go into therapy and work harder on the marriage, or have an affair. Having a romantic bond with your partner for decades can be challenging to say the least. It can be next to impossible when kids are involved. That’s why after the love is gone, many couples file for divorce. Should You Work on Your Marriage? If you’re living in a loveless marriage, what do you do now? Should you try to work things out? It ultimately depends on your goals. Do you want to fall in love with your partner all over again? Or are you just hanging in there until the kids are grown and out of the house? If you are in a loveless marriage with kids, then you may opt for a parenting marriage. This refers to a non-romantic marriage centered around child rearing. Couples tend to have mixed feelings about this. Some may think that this does not really constitute a marriage, while many couples are already doing this in their marriages anyway. Should You Stay in a Loveless Marriage? Even without kids, many couples stay in loveless marriages and there are a few reasons why. Many want to avoid talking to their spouse about how they feel about their marriage because they want to avoid hurting them. However, not communicating can be even more hurtful. Couples also stay together due to social norms. Society deems a marriage successful by how long it lasts. A marriage that lasts 50 years, even if the couple was not romantic for the last 20 years, is considered successful, whereas a love-filled 10-year marriage is not. How to Proceed Many couples choose to live in a loveless marriage due to children, financial reasons, or simply the practicality of living under one roof. Whatever the case, know that a marriage without love stunts the growth of the two parties involved. In this case, you either stay or walk away. If you do stay, you need to find out how to be happy in a loveless marriage and determine what you are hoping to get out of the marriage. Many people choose to be happy and therefore end the marriage in hopes of finding a relationship that is more compatible.

Relationship Help: Why Do I Get So Upset with My Partner? by: Dr. Rich Nicastro

Q: I need some relationship help. While I love my husband with all my heart, sometimes it's just so frustrating being married to him. When I feel that he's ignoring me, I get so upset, and he's usually surprised by the intensity of my reaction. Why do I get so upset with him? ~Lynn, Carlsbad CA  A: Thanks for the question, Lynn. Here are some thoughts that might help shed light on your experience:  It is extremely distressing to feel as if your words and actions have no impact (or no longer matter) to your spouse/partner�to think that someone whom you love deeply is no longer engaged fully in the relationship or interested in what's important to you can be extremely painful.  When you feel like your spouse/partner is not being responsive to you (and to your needs), two outcomes become likely:  1. Initially, you may "up the ante" in order to have some kind of impact on your spouse/partner-- this might involve yelling, becoming more provocative, elevating your ...

Four Things You Should Know About Divorce By Jemimah Macaday

We've fallen out of love" and "We just aren't meant for each other." These and other popular clichés have unfortunately been heard between husbands and wives today. If you are a married husband or wife, whether newlyweds or been wedded for years, do you feel the same as the aforementioned statements? Well, you are not alone. BUT! At this moment, try to stop--and think before making a speedy decision to end your marriage. Here are a few but crucial things you must know about divorce. 1. The Financial Problem Marital separation worldwide proved to have injuriously affected women financially. A seven-year European study, headed by Mieke Jansen, exposed that after split-up, the income of women dropped off by 17 percent, while men's income increased by 11 percent. According to Jansen, this is more difficult to most women because they have to find a job to support them and their children's material needs, plus the fact that they have to deal with the e...

Should You Date Your Polar Opposite in 2018? By Alexandra Fox

Would you rather date a man who matched your personality... or who is the  opposite of you?     It's an age-old debate in dating: Whether "same feather" couples are more likely to succeed than "opposites attract" couples, and vice-versa.     As far as successful relationships go, "same feather" couples have a slight advantage. Since they think alike, they're better able to solve problems as a team.     But at the same time, here's a warning...     Don't make the mistake of thinking, "Okay, from now on, I'll only date guys who match my personality."     Why? Because many of us end up JUDGING men by thinking: "Hmm, he hates Italian food, but it's my favorite... so I guess I should stop seein...
