Here are three powerful indicators that your marriage is in trouble. Identifying and fixing them can help you keep your relationship together.

Keep a balance of power. Decisions for social activity must be shared by both partners. When one spouse assumes the power is theirs to choose it will cause resentment on the part of the other spouse. Commonly, couples who've divorced, have noted that many of their favourite social activities were never chosen causing a shift in power. The key is to find a way to compromise and include both partners interests and favourite activities. Deferring to your partner consistently will ensure that you will harbour some amount of resentment or contempt of their power or control in your relationship. 

Interpretation of Past Events. How you and your partner choose to analyze what happened in your earlier years together can be a telling tale of whether or not the marriage is doomed or likely to succeed. How you say and relate to things like dating years, prom, sexual encounters, etc. can either have a negative or a positive spin on how you recollect those times together. If your recollection is not of the great time you had at the movie but more that your partner was late and got a speeding ticket on the way to the theatre; then this can demonstrate several flaws with the partnership. It's a good barometer of whether the marriage is likely to succeed or not.

Having No Arguments Can Be A Relationship Wrecker. Many current studies have shown that couples with a history or bickering had more of a chance of working things out in their relationship and succeeding at achieving a stable life together. The same studies showed that when conflicts were avoided early on in the relationship then the marriages were more lily to be troubled or heading for the divorce court.  The one proviso is that violence or any sort of verbal abuse is never an acceptable form of argument. Tolerating conflict and resolving it within the relationship goes a long way to making your relationship bullet-proof.
