- Many marriage problems center around either sex or infidelity. Many marriage discussion groups focus on those who feel their partner wants more or less sex than they do. On the other side of the coin are problems involving infidelity and cheating. Connecting with others who share the same problem, reading about how they have dealt with the issue and getting advice from those who have gone through similar problems are all excellent reasons to turn to discussion groups when dealing with sex and infidelity issues.
- Studies show that money is the number one cause of disagreements and arguments between married partners. When talking and discussing money issues with your spouse is not enough, discussion groups may provide the advice you need. Connecting with and seeking advice from others who have experienced money problems and have resolved financial disagreements with their spouse can be very helpful in resolving issues in your own marriage. Issues of spending, debt, saving, and other topics are covered in a wide variety of groups.
- Many couples argue over how to raise their children or even how many children to have in their lifetime. This subject can cause serious disagreements between married partners. Issues of infertility also can put a strain on a marriage, as blame and fear can cause couples to turn on one another. Discussion groups can be an excellent source of insight when dealing with these problems since couples can connect with those who have dealt with these issues in the past as well as those who are still dealing with them in the present.
- Those considering divorce as well as those who are either in the process of a divorce or recovering from one may find comfort and consolation in discussion groups on these topics. Reading accounts of those who have gone through a divorce as well as those who have decided against it may give couples perspective on the issue and its ramifications for their lives. Seeking advice from those more experienced in these issues may help bring clarity, and sharing a personal story can help ease the burden of those struggling with divorce.
- Couples sometimes disagree on topics of religion, spirituality and faith. In many cases, the topic comes up in regard to raising children in a church or religious environment. Couples who come from different religious backgrounds may want to seek advice from those in discussion groups, particularly from couples who have found resolution to their own disagreements on religion. Sharing their personal story and reading the stories of others who struggle with the same issues can help provide perspective and present possibilities that married couples may have never considered.
