Part 7 of 10: Loss of Future Vision
This 10 part series is all about the most critical warning signs that can spell trouble for your marriage or long-term relationship (LTR).
Once you understand these factors, you’ll get a clearer picture of how healthy your LTR or marriage may be at the moment, and your risk of separation or divorce.
If you’ve been following this series, you know that there are 8 “internal factors” and the last 2 are “external factors.”
What do I mean by this?
Warning sign #7 is another internal warning sign.
Part 7 of 10: Loss of Future Vision
This warning sign is when you stop envisioning a future together or even stop planning future events.
This is an especially dangerous sign if you start envisioning your future alone, or with a new person.
How to Course Correct
Consider building new memories with your partner and setting joint goals.
If you don’t feel motivated to make future plans or create new goals, what’s underneath your hesitation? Knowing this allows you to attack the core issue.
If you’re envisioning a future with someone new instead of your current partner, understand that this is often built on fantasy and skewed overly positive.
We tend to imagine the unknown with a new person through rose colored glasses.
It’s a distraction from your current problems and won’t help solve anything in the present.
