Getting married will not make such negative situations go away.  Professionals are sometimes needed to keep the love alive. Marriage counselors do this by talking to the people involved by discussing the issues involved.  Once the causes of the disagreement have been determined, solutions are created with the help of the counselor. Constant follow-up must be done. One way of handling this is agreeing on a secret code that both have to
