Everyone knows marriage doesn’t come easy, it takes work. Learning about common marriage mistakes can help you live through a strong healthy marriage. A lot of common mistakes married couples make revolve around their egos. For example, saying I told you so, or always having to be right. Some more examples are lack of respect and dishonesty. Also while sex isn’t what a relationships all about, not having enough of it can cause tension.
Key Takeaways:
