Is Your Marriage Fit? 

What does the happiness of your marriage depend on? I know there is no right or single answer to this question. There are just too many factors governing the status of your marriage. Now, tell me, what would you treat first: a seemingly unstable marriage or a seemingly depressed/anxious/angry spouse? I know there is a third answer: I will walk out of the marriage. But let’s not jump to any alternative right away. Let’s look at the options you have:

  • seeking marriage counseling or adopting ways to improve the relationship
  • getting your spouse treated

Now, do you think an effort at improving your marriage will help if your spouse is not fine? Depression, anxiety, and anger are problems that need to be dealt with carefully. You should seek professional help if the problem has gone out of hand. A psychiatrist should be able to help find the underlying cause of the depression/anxiety/anger and treat it accordingly. Making your spouse fit mentally may become the most significant step in making your marriage better.

The happiness of a marriage depends largely on the mental well being of the two people in it. Your marriage is fit only if the two of you are fit.

If your spouse tells you that you have been unreasonably angry or upset lately, don’t scream back at him/her. Try to find out if it is really true. Do you really get angry for no reason? Are you anxious all the time? Do you find yourself depressed quite often? If there is nothing wrong with your physical health, find out if there is something bothering your mental well-being.

Only two healthy minds can make a healthy relationship. Keep this in mind and take care of yourself.
