First up because this one is just something advised for all couples about to walk down the aisle because getting married is a huge commitment and you don't want to

go through that whole process if you aren't ready, right? It's better to find out you aren't a good match before the caterers, venue and dress are all paid for.

Surprise parties? Great. An unexpected pregnancy or the sudden loss of a job? Not so much. Things like that can cause a lot of stress for people, and put a

lot of strain on a couple.

Either you or they are always in a bad mood and causing everything to have a black cloud hanging above it. Sound like you? Ya, it's time for therapy.

You never make time to see one another anymore. You work. They work. Your weekends are spent watching TV in rooms on opposite sides of the house. It's like you're

just roommates and not in a relationship. 

This is important not only for the sake of the relationship, but the health of the person addicted to whatever their vice is. Addiction is not an easy thing to

beat, so being there for one another will make you both come out stronger.

Someone's keeping secrets, or at least that's what the other one constantly assumes. Therefore they're getting yelled at and called a "liar" on the daily, which then leads to more

arguments and fights.

Which speaking of, if you two can't forgive and forget over the smallest things, you two have bigger problems at hand. Things like who lost the remote and which place

to eat that night are not something to start World War 3 over.

All the arguing could be a sign that you two are having issues with your communication. Either you're not talking enough, afraid to talk about certain topics or one or

both of you is being unresponsive to the situation at hand.

Sex isn't everything in a relationship, but it's something! If you're not feeling it anymore and it's led to you thinking about stepping out and finding a side piece -

call a therapist before a booty call.

If your partner comes up to you and says they think you two should get counseling, don't dismiss the idea. See it through. If they were strong enough to admit

it, you should at least have a session or two.
