In the older times, marriages used to last till people breathe their last but with the changing times a lot has changed in regard to marriages as well. Earlier, husband and wife never thought of leaving each other even if they fight a lot but nowadays people don’t mind in separating even for a dispute which could have been solved amicably.

A marriage doesn’t get torn apart at one instance, there are many signs that are visible at regular intervals which can reveal that marriage won’t last long. Many studies have been carried out in regard to the increasing rate of divorces and based on some of those studies we are listing out 8 bizarre facts/things which can tell you in advance that marriage of that person won’t last long.

2. Avoiding communication:

If a couple is avoiding communication between them just because they are afraid that it will increase the conflict then they are harming their relationship more by remaining silent. Talking is the best way to resolve the conflicts while remaining silent will increase misunderstandings and it will further increase chances of divorce.

3. Too much love in newlyweds:

Ted Huston who is a psychologist by profession carried out a study on 168 couples for a long period of 13 years and the findings were quite shocking. It was found that the couples who got separated after 7 or more years used to show love or affection towards their partner more by one-third in comparison to other couples. As the time passes, a person has to take care of lot of other responsibilities and this doesn’t give them the chance to express their love with same intensity. It was observed that couples who are not much dramatic in showing love are the ones who have long lasting and successful marriages.

8. The size of bed:

Sounds a little weird but the size of bed also plays an important role in successful marriage. It the bed is narrow than the couple may not get good sleep which further increase the chances of divorce. However, if the bed is big then the partners will be able to sleep better and the chances of conflict will decrease as they will be in a good mood. The partners may also opt for sleeping on different beds if they have a narrow bed in order to get good sleep.
