3. You feel like you’ve never truly been happy together.
This doesn’t mean you’ve never actually been happy together, but rather, when a marriage is in a broken state, even happy memories get distorted and the narrative of your life together takes on a more negative tone. Dr. John Gottman has stated, “I’ve found 94 percent of the time that couples who put a positive spin on their marriage’s history are likely to have a happy future as well. When happy memories are distorted, it’s a sign that the marriage needs help.”
