It’s safe to say that no marriage or relationship is perfect. Each individual has their own needs, desires, goals, values, and opinions that can heavily influence the course of a relationship. This means that we’re bound to experience conflict with those we love. We might grow to despise our partner’s habits or develop new differences. We might also experience more specific issues, like a loss of intimacy or an extramarital affair. In other instances, there’s just a general breakdown of communication or connection.
