I saw this article 4 Major Myths About What Causes Divorce, and I know there are a lot of reasons that may or may not cause divorce, but I think that many times one person in a marriage does not feel
heard
in one way or another.
Perhaps not in the way of
conversations or expressions,
but maybe in more simple ways like a wife yearning the simple touch of her husband's hand on her back when she walks into a room, or the encouraging look from his wife as he places dinner on the table after cooking for an hour. Yes, she could have made it better - and quicker - but he cooked it, and she appreciated it, and him.
If those small things are missing, one person may feel — invisible…. and someone can only be invisible for so long.
Deep down, people want to be seen, heard, and loved.
Countless women go to bed each night wondering if they will ever feel noticed. If you feel alone and unappreciated, let me reassure that you are seen by your Creator, and He loves you more than anyone on this planet ever could. Have you felt far from cherished? Have you been cut down one too many times? Your pain is understandable, and it matters. But you don’t have to let it ruin you or define you. Being overlooked by your spouse is especially painful. The man who stole your heart should make you feel loved and cherished, yet he will fail you many times over. He won’t always act like Prince Charming, because honestly, he’s neither of those two things. If you place your heart totally in his hands and draw your happiness from him alone, you hurt a lot. -- Michelle Lindsey
