Deficit in interpersonal communication and marriage nullity

Abstract

The aim of this article is to draw attention to the fact that deficit in interpersonal communication is an important factor that may determine marriage nullity in connection with inability to undertake essential marriage obligations.Troubled matrimonial communication is characterized by a number of factors that prevent spouses from building a community of married life based on mutual dialogue, partnership, stability and welfare. Many marriages fall apart because of the alleged incompatibility of characters. The reason for that, however, is the multi-faceted immaturity for married life. Both parties’ inefficient communication of their own needs leads to misunderstandings and conflicts, ultimately causing crises or marriage breakdown.
Deficit in interpersonal communication is one of the factors that seriously contributes to declaring marriage nullity due to mental inability to undertake essential marriage obligations by one or both parties.The analysis leads to the conclusion that deficit in marital communication affects the ability to express marital consent related to creating and maintaining a community of life.
