15 Biggest Mistakes Women Make in a Marriage

From learning to live with a new human being to adjusting to a whole new family, compromises and adjustments are the name of the game. The unfortunate part is that more often than not everyone tends to blame the women when things go wrong. Well we blame them too. But not for the reasons you think.

Not knowing their value: One of the biggest mistakes women make is underplaying their own strengths in a marriage.

Giving too much: Marriage is a give-and-take affair. If you find yourself at the giving end and don’t see any efforts from his side then you are definitely at fault.

Relying on another person for your happiness: While it’s great to have a partner who knows exactly what makes you happy, relying on your man to dictate your happiness will never work out well.

Depending too much: Whether you are a working woman or a stay-at-home wife, being emotionally independent will always give you an edge in the relationship.

Over thinking: There are some things that are just not meant to be. So stop over analysing and just let certain things go.

Feeling too guilty: Give the overactive guilt hormones a rest and stop feeling guilty about everything. The constant guilt causes you unwanted stress and relationship troubles.

Not giving enough space: While it’s great to do things in twos, don’t give up on your and his personal space.

Keeping score: Tit for tat doesn’t sound too good for a relationship. So quit keeping scores and let go of past fights and misunderstandings.

Going by the popular definition of happy: Each couple has their own way of working things out. So don’t go chasing those popular relationship goals, making yourself unhappy in the process.

Not having a life: Women tend to dedicate too much to the relationship, in the process giving up on their own dreams and goals.

Not trusting enough: Unless you have this factor in place you can’t stay happy in any relationship.

Passive aggression: He asks you what’s wrong, you say nothing and then you expect him to know exactly what went wrong! Sounds familiar? Just tell him when and what upsets you and let go of the drama.
