The first truth of relationships is that all relationships have problems.

But not all problems are created equal, and some problems are a sign that a relationship can’t work or is in need of some serious help.

Here are 7 signs your relationship is in trouble.

1. You’ve stopped growing, either individually or as a couple.

2. You lack common purpose.

3. You’ve forgotten the story of your relationship.

4. You’re not spending time together.

5. Lack of communication.

6. Lack of accountability and commitment in following through for the other person.

And 7. You’re unwilling to forgive each other.

All relationships are a work in progress, but if you find that you’re the only one in the relationship working on that progress, it may be a sign that you need to move on.

But if the relationship is a marriage, don’t let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do. Begin today, in small ways to address the issues present in your relationship. And remember, don’t just be yourself… be the-best-version-of-yourself.
