How To Know If Your Marriage Is About To End

What are the signs that a marriage is about to end? Dr. Joe Beam discusses what signs exist when a marriage is in trouble or when a spouse is considering leaving the marriage in this episode of Marriage Helper Live with Dr. Joe Beam.

There are not necessarily signs, but rather, absolutes. Death or divorce where a spouse marries someone else are pretty absolute. When being without someone is better than being with them, it may be another situation where the marriage is over. A spouse beating another is a situation too dangerous to stay in. If your spouse is still good at heart, it may be an opportunity to save them. However, once you're convinced that whatever heart they once had has changed, maybe that's when you realize that they can't be changed. No matter the situation, we are here to help.

It's when the arguments stop, I don't even look at my husband, I don't care what he does, I feel numb towards him . The thought of even having sex with him turns my stomach. If I had the money i would take my kids and walk . All I do is buy scratch cards and hope for a miracle.

When there is no respect !! Thats when

[donnaallgaier-lamberti]

How about when two people are "coexisting" in the same home. Little or no connection anymore. One person willing to work on it and go to therapy but the other is not. Saying "What's in it for me?" for over 10 would say the marriage is over.

When he won’t let go of female “ friend”

It is too late when the spouse goes out for a quick errand and two years later you still can't find them. Probably it is over then.

Just dont get married and avoid the whole mess to begin with.

I am shocked that they express it even a possibility that once somebody have been physically violent towards you, you can save the marriage. There is no power in hell or heaven which would make me accept that. What is the point? You live rest of your life in fear that he might be violent again....What is the point of trying to save your marriage when other person so utterly violated the fundamental reasons of being married? The whole constitution of it? ANY abusive behavior is not tolerable in ANY situation in life....the least in marriage. Marriage is a sacred promise of trying your best to love and respect other as long as possible. Abuse is breaking that promise fully.

Thank you..Dr. Joe..This is so True. I was married to a man who had very religious and money oriented ambitions. He domineered me until I collapsed from distress after 32 years. We went to marriage counceling but he did not change. God told me it was time to separate from him. He went on and remarried. God is working with me to Help me be stronger and Whole. I am getting better. He married a woman.. who beats him up..spiritually speaking. I am hoping for someone with the deeper values I have..God Willing!

Putting his feelings before his spouse. Disrespectful of her emotional feelings. Putting other feeling before hers. TIME TO GO!!

[lizzyvega]

I don't trust my husband anymore, and I will not trust him ever again, he doesn't deserve it! Can we still be married?

[westcoastbred]

When he's mean, controlling and Issa wrap

[angelacburton]

a person has an affair they have broken the covenant and so how is it honestly a marriage at that point? That marriage has died right? Shouldn’t you have new vows/marriage again if it’s worth being with them in marriage?

[bobbob]

I don’t want to try anymore either and I don’t even have a partner, I give up, but at least I will keep my pension

My wife of 13 years wants to divorce me but we are agreeing on trial seperation. She says she wants space and i admit i have been pressuring her to her breaking point. Recently she's told she's finished and fed up and doesnt see me as her husband and she doesnt love me anymore. We have 2 children together and a child ive helped her raise from her previous marriage. I Love my wife dearly with all my heart and have been judemental towards her in the past and now shes very resentful towards me and we argue all the time. I desperately want to save my marriage and not lose my family. What should i do in this situation. Weve tried counseling but it made matters worse. And now shes at the end of the rope and checked out. Please let me know what i must do to win her back or atleast try.

If I married for the wrong reasons now I’m too coward to leave, are you still fighting for my marriage? 😒

When the spouse cheats multiple times how the heck could you ever trust again it’s impossible that’s when it’s ove you don’t know what set them off or if it’s just not in there genes I’m sorry once a cheater always a cheater in my book
