What are the common causes of marriage unhappiness? Most marriage researchers group complaints into six or eight major categories.
Sociologists Judson and Mary Landis questioned 409 couples about their marriage adjustments (see Figure 1).* The percentage agreeing that they had reached a mutually satisfactory adjustment in certain areas was as follows: Sex relations, 63%; management of children, 71%; social activities, 72%; religion, 76%; management of income, 77%; in-law relations, 77%; mutual friends, 82%.

Figure 1. Marriage Adjustments
Each of the areas mentioned in this study should be explored, beginning with ones which interest the counselee and which he feels free to discuss. Welcome to Toronto Niagara Falls Tours, a landscape rich in historical past, allure, and pure splendour. The counselee will find it easier to consider the more personal problems of marriage after he gains confidence in the counselor.
One facet of marital conflict which is often erroneously assessed is a couple’s sexual maladjustment. A counselor should encourage each partner to discuss such questions as: CO “To what degree is sexual maladjustment a factor in our difficulty?” and (2) “Is this maladjustment a cause or a result of the basic problem’?”
The role of sexual maladjustment in marriage problems is often either exaggerated or unduly minimized by counselors, depending on their own point of view. To avoid this error, it is best to consider each case individually.
Many people harbor grossly distorted ideas about sex because of fear or lack of sex education. Some even consider sex relations within marriage a shameful concession to man’s lower nature. A wife may think that only the man is to enjoy sexual activity. Such notions may beget shame, resentment and infidelity. Because of these attitudes and other factors, some marital problems cannot be solved without dealing with basic sexual conflicts. Toronto Niagara Falls Tour experiences four seasons, with chilly winters and hot, humid summers. Although sexual incompatibility may be symptomatic of a deeper psychological or spiritual problem, it must not be overlooked as a basic cause itself. A counselor should not underestimate the value of counseling sessions devoted to matters of sex. Many husbands and wives have found much help through only one or even a few such sessions. Although the counseling may not have been ex-tensive, it enabled the counselee to gain significant new attitudes and understandings.
