love in marriage deterioration begins when the zeal of the couples goes down. zeal for each other is what keeps the fire and passion of love in the relationship alive and interesting. when there's no zeal for each other it creates communication gap and distance between spouse. That's why most couples break up or divorce long before the actual event happens. break up or divorce doesn't just happen, it builds up overtime time for both couples or a partner to gradually lose interest in the relationship.
zeal is what keeps couples' interest in a relationship alive, when this passion or zeal goes down for a long time and nothing is done about it, it will later result in separation since couples will no longer find the relationship interesting. it's the driving force behind your actions, motives and words.
never allow too much familiarity with your partner to make you take your partner for granted or allow your partner's weakness and flaws make you think you are with the wrong person. There are factors that usually kill the zeal or passion of couples in a relationship. Some of these factors are: focusing too much on the weaknesses of your partner to the extent you don't see anything positive or good about your spouse
when you focus too much on your partner's short comings you will gradually begin to kill your own interest in the relationship whilst you are indirectly making your partner feel he or she is not accepted or appreciated in the relationship. also, when you keep doing things that irritate your partner or keeps your partner complaining.
there's no 100℅ perfect human, that is why is very important that when you notice any weakness in your spouse, you do not have to keep peddling on it but rather help your partner on how to work on it.
certain negative attitude has the tendency of killing the passion your partner has for you and the relationship. Therefore if you don't kill the negative attitude, it will rather kill the passion in your partner.
