Self-esteem Issues-
If one of the spouses has a low self-esteem, it can reflect on the marriage in a number of ways: the spouse
may perceive the marriage as an unequal match, may feel unworthy of the partner's love and, consequently,
put up with the partner's undesirable behaviour. Over time, this creates a sense of dissonance in the
marriage and builds mistrust and resentment.
Increasing your self-esteem cannot happen overnight. It requires concerted effort. It will also require the
support of your spouse and other family members. Start appreciating the good traits in yourself. Learn to look.
at situations objectively rather than simply assume that everything is your mistake. Try and be assertive when you feel something is not really your fault.
