Women have millions of stories on how what they hoped would be great relationships ended up in total disarray! This is simply because of the small mistakes they made. While all relationships have issues emerging from both the man and the woman, most relationships end due to the existence of multiple and unresolved issues. Women in relationships may not recognize how their subtle and hidden behavior can amount to self-sabotage.
In a 2006 study published in the Journal of Family Issues, it was established that psychological problems among women are among the largest causes of divorce. This is supported by another study done in 2007 and published in the Family Process Journal, which suggests that psychological problems among either of the spouses can lead to divorce. A quick look at the two studies shows that most of the problems in relationships are not physical but psychological. Here are the unconscious mistakes that women make with suggestions on how to resolve them:

Forgetting your femininity

Master the skills to Build A Stronger Relationship
Not speaking up or being direct
Women can fall victim to the idea that their spouse has the ability to know or sense what’s happening to them. If you notice anything you don’t like or enjoy, speak up. Well, sometimes the sexual mood may be dampened when you speak honestly and communicate your needs directly.
In a 2002 study published in the Family Process Journal, it was established that frank communication can result in a more fulfilling relationship. If you are forthrightly frank with your partner, you can mend up things and experience even more sex. So be honest with your man when he wants to have sex with you. It doesn’t have to be a flat-out no. It could be a statement that gives him hope that he will get to eat the cookie sometime soon

Never initiating sex with your partner
There are several women out there who spend lots of precious time worrying about exhibiting ladylike behavior.

Assuming that men view sex casually
Women should get over the old-fashioned notion of sex being just sex for men or that women are not sexual. For most men, sex is a very vital act that doesn’t need to be minimized. According to research, both men and women find sexual intimacy with a committed partner to be very satisfying.
Parrot says numerous research studies make it very clear that people who get the best quality and most frequent sex are couples in marriages.

Most women take a man declining to have sex so badly that they consider it something personal.
They react emotionally when their partner says they are not interested in sex. It is a case of double standards as women can be accused of always never wanting sex. Yet, they think that if their man declines the opportunity to tango, he doesn’t love them anymore. That’s definitely not true. Accept it, he might just is not in the mood for sex.
