There are numerous advices for couples who are willing to work through their issues. But the truth is, not every couple would be able to make it past their marriage troubles.

Inspired by SheKnows, here are 4 differences between people who have successful marriages and those who don't

1. They don’t depend on each other to fulfill all of their needs

Couples who have successful marriages choose their partners out of love and not out of fear of being alone or desperation. These people have other things and activities that will add to the satisfaction they already feel by having each other. They both grow as individuals and as a couple.

2. Despite the troubles, you still want to be with each other

Troubles in relationships should tear couples apart; rather it means a better relationship should be formed. These kinds of issues are more of resentments that have been accumulated for some time leading to an emotional disconnection. An open conversation between couples maybe with a therapist should get them through this rut.

3. They are very committed to each other

There are no threats of divorce in the relationship because they know that no one is going anywhere no matter what. They have eyes just for each other and won’t go out seeking someone else when issues arise in the home. Their trust for each other is rock solid.

4. They don’t trade blames; rather look for ways to solve the problem

Communication is key but good communication opens the door to a better relationship. Couples who listen and empathize with each other stay together for a long time. They are able to talk about their needs and find a solution from there.
