Are you fed up with the drinking habit of your spouse? Has your spouse increased alcoholic consumption of late? Do you feel that your marriage is getting affected due to it? If your answer is "Yes", you need to be proactive to save your marriage.
Taking too much of alcohol is a sure sign that something wrong is happening with the person concerned.
There are a few points that need to be mentioned here.
Communication breakdown with the spouse is one of the reasons why one tends to drink too much alcohol.
Some people have tendency of not sharing their sorrows with their spouse, owing to which they start feeling lonely.
Eventually, such feelings lead to frustration and increased alcohol consumption soon becomes an addiction.
Another reason behind excessive alcoholic consumption can be the lack of intimacy in a relationship.
Usually, after years of marriage, most people start taking their partners for granted, as a result of which there is a lack of sharing and caring between the two.
This again results in frustration that eventually leads to more alcohol consumption.
Let me tell you a small story...
My friend Jane grew up in a similar situation.
Her father was so much addicted to alcohol that he stopped taking care of his family and Jane had to suffer since she was a kid.
The main reason behind her father's addiction was her mother, who was a working lady.
She always used to be busy with her office work even during the weekends.
In due course of time, the communication gap between her parents widened.
Her father used to feel lonely and depressed and that is how he got addicted to alcohol.
His addiction led to disastrous consequences and finally led to divorce.
Jane's life was spoiled...
Do you want the same to happen with your family and kids? Of course, not! Therefore, if your partner has got addicted to alcohol, make sure you give him/her adequate time and share their feelings.
Whatever the situation is, communication gap is the major reason behind a partner feeling lonely and trying to find out alternatives to feel comfortable.
Here is one quick solution for all your problems - "Communicate".
Ask your partner if he/she has any problem in personal or official life.
If so, you need to be patient because such situations take time to get settled.
Once your partner starts sharing problems with you, you can sit and talk about your relationship getting affected.
Once the communication barrier breaks between the two of you, your problems are bound to get resolved sooner or later.
