Concerning SignsBody LanguageYour Spouse
Sometimes relationships between couples are not as simple and clear as one might think. Researchers have found that approximately 60 to 90 percent of our real feelings and communications are expressed non-verbally through body language. Therefore, paying attention to your spouse’s body language is very important. In this section of Family PlusSelMagzWe aim to discuss concerning signs in your spouse’s body language and provide you with special information, so stay with us.
Turns Their Body Away from You
Imagine a young couple sitting on a couch facing each other, but one of them tries to keep some distance. Pay attention to your spouse’s body. When you sit next to them, is their face towards you? Do they lean towards you? Do you see signs of affection and excitement from them? If they turn their body away, especially when sitting close, this can be a warning sign. There might be something about you that troubles them.
Shrugs Their Shoulders
When your spouse is unwilling to talk, they may shrug their shoulders and lean their head inward. This body language indicates that your spouse feels hurt and wants to protect themselves. They might feel worthless as they feel unheard and not taken seriously by you.
Crosses Their Arms
Crossing arms can indicate various feelings; however, it usually shows that the person is worried or defensive, which is why they often sit with their arms crossed.
Pay Attention to Their Jaw and Chin
When talking, observe your spouse’s jaw and chin area. If they keep jutting their chin out, it may indicate they are trying to lie about something. Ask them what they are hiding and why they feel the need to lie, and give both of you a chance to talk again.
Turns Away
If your spouse avoids eye contact, pay attention to this behavior. Ask them what is bothering them that made them look away from you.
