Mistake #1 Lack of communication
Communication is the key to keeping any relationship intact and alive but as life goes on and people have kids and jobs, communication gets more and more difficult because the time is so limited to spend on it. You need to make the time. Learn to listen to each other and respond honestly and sensitively. If you don't think you have the time to spend talking, at least learn how to make the most of your time by enhancing your communication skills.
Mistake #2 Pride
Pride gets in the way of apologizing and saying thank you but it is even more dangerous when it prevents us from admitting there is a problem. If there is an issue in your marriage that you need to deal with, you have to put it out in the open and deal with it together. If you let pride get in the way, you end up having a backlog of issues that will erupt at the wrong time and cause more damage to your relationship and your family than if you had dealt with them as they came up. Make the effort to realize when pride is getting in the way and overcome it to make your marriage a better experience.
Mistake #3 Getting revenge
It is very likely that your partner will do something along the line that will hurt your feelings, perhaps they already have. And it might seem natural to want to get revenge but acting on this feeling will take you and your marriage down a road that will make recovery even more difficult. Getting revenge causes more issues in a marriage than there needs to be. You need to take control of your emotions and your actions and consciously prevent yourself from getting revenge. Hurting your partner in return will cause more pain and damage how you both see each other. Remember, you want your marriage to be a good experience. Work towards improving yourself and your relationships.
