RELATIONSHIP ISSUES

Your love life can get tough at times, no matter how strong your relationship is. Relationship issues can show up in many ways, including a cycle of being on and off again, infidelity, a lack of intermicy between partners, or a situation that pushes you into toxic behavior. In addition, all of these situations may leave you wondering how this all came about.

THE SITUATION

The fact is… not all relationships are meant to be saved. However, it is important to be clear on whether your relationship is worth saving or whether it is best for you and your partner to go your separate ways. If you feel physically or psychologically threatened, let it go! Another reason to leave a relationship is if you are compromising your core values and morals. In addition, if you have decided to make things work for both of you, you must be willing to save your relationship.

WAYS TO SAVE AN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP:

• Actively listen.
• Communicate.
• Have fun together.
• Forgive each other.
• Learn to compromise.
• Manage expectations.
• Seek professional help.
• Speak from your heart.
• Cut out external influences.
• Do something special together.
• Come clean about your secrets.
• Set boundaries with each other.
• Maintain intimacy and communication.
• Engage in affectionate physical contact.
• Re-evaluate the reasons you are together.
• Address sexual problems or bedroom issues.
• Take full responsibility for what you have done.
• Say thank you for the small things your partner does.

HEALTHY COMMUNICATION

The ability to consistently communicate well in a relationship can allow couples to face challenges and hardships more productively. Furthermore, couples with healthy communication are able to decrease stress and stay calm in stressful situations. In healthy communication, it is also important to use humour appropriately, apologize effectively and make partners feel heard. Moreover, healthy communication can help you and your partner feel understood during stressful moments.

WHY IS COMMUNICATION IMPORTANT IN A RELATIONSHIP?

A partner in a relationship who does not communicate is not sharing his/her feelings. It is difficult to let go of your feelings and thoughts without communication in a relationship. Furthermore, couples in relationships fail to communicate for fear of rejection and concern that they will do or say something to upset their partner. If you don’t tell your partner how you feel, the relationship doesn’t change and grow. Moreover, relationship growth is key if you want a healthy relationship and bond.

AVOIDING MISUNDERSTANDINGS

Communication is also important because misunderstandings often occur between people. Furthermore, situations can be perceived differently by each partner, resulting in anger and hurt feelings. Without communication, couples may become upset with one another without knowing why or how it started. In addition, positive communication can lead to clear expectations and greater understanding of others’ feelings.

KNOW YOUR PARTNER AND MAINTAIN HEALTHY COMMUNICATION

It’s important to know your partner! This will improve your relationship and communications as a couple. Furthermore, a lack of communication affects many relationships at times. In addition, a conflict has a surface cause that points to other, deeper issues that should be addressed.
