Entertainment of Sunday, 29 August 2021Source: etvghana.comMedical doctor and Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Isaac Newman-Arthur, has answered the question of whether there is really a solution to unhappy marriages. Having this discussion on eTV Ghana’s Men’s Lounge show, he opined that as to whether or not unhappy marriages can be fixed is dependent on a lot of factors and the main factor is why they are unhappy in the first place. “Just the fact that they are different genders alone can create problems in marriage because men see things differently and respond to things differently from the way women do. According to him, everyone has differences, however, it becomes a problem if they have too many differences. Hence, if your partner is okay communicating with others and not you, then counseling cannot solve the problem.
