Telling Signs That Your Marriage Is Over

When we take the marriage vows, we always want our marriage to be everlasting. However, the fact is that marriages break up and divorce is a reality that we are all aware of. So while you must make every possible effort to save your marriage, you must also be aware of the signs that your marriage is over. There is no point in carrying the burden of a dead relationship.

It is important that self-realisation comes to you. It is only by your instinct that you will know when to call it quits in your marriage. A bad marriage is not worth the effort you are putting into it. You also need to realise that your partner may not be willing to put in the same effort into the marriage.
