Behaviors:
1) Is impatient.
2) Indifferent, remote, unconcerned, uninterested.
3) Is ungrateful.
4) Does not praise or give credit to others.
5) Has forgotten everyday courtesies.
6) Argues over every silly little thing.
7) Is lukewarm or gives half hearted efforts.

Such behaviors place a strain on marriages and should be avoided. If you have observed these behaviors in yourself or your spouse it would be wise to create a game plan to get them out of your marriage.
