In the world of relationships, there’s a saying: “The greatest distance between two people is not life and death, not even the vastness of the sky, but being next to each other without anything to say.”
In marriage, having a “common language” is not like sweet orange juice, but more like a cup of mild tea.
As love evolves into a familiar affection, the passion gradually fades away in the mundane routine of work, meals, and sleep.
To sustain a lasting marriage, mutual understanding and communication between spouses are essential. A marriage without a common language is inevitably at risk of falling apart.
What does a marriage without a common language bring?
Constant Arguments
When spouses lack a common language, disagreements easily lead to arguments. In healthy relationships, occasional arguments lead to reflection, while in toxic relationships, frequent fights only deepen the coldness between partners.
Irresistible Infidelity
With limited communication in a marriage lacking a common language, individuals seek to be heard and understood. Many start seeking joy elsewhere, leading to infidelity for temporary excitement or fleeting tenderness. Regular communication and understanding are crucial to strengthen the bond between spouses.
Inevitable Breakdown
Finding someone with identical values is rare, but differing values don’t hinder a successful marriage as long as there’s mutual understanding and support. Without a common language, it’s challenging to comprehend each other, making it difficult to nurture the relationship. Eventually, this leads to the breakdown of the marriage.
From the initial acquaintance to understanding, falling in love, and entering marriage, couples don’t start with communication difficulties or silence. Instead, they often have endless conversations at the beginning. So, instead of blaming each other for differing views, reflect on why, over the years of marriage, you’ve ended up where you are today.
