One of the most important things you need to do in order to make your marriage successful is to know yourself and be able to articulate your needs and wants to your spouse in a way they understand and want to give them to you

Failing to discuss goals

Look, the way I see it, you can either let your marriage happen to you or you can make it happen the way you want it to by creating goals and vision that you can both get excited about. Having goals not only provides a common passion for you to work on together as a couple, but it also adds excitement to your relationship because you now have things to look forward to.
