Solving Relationship Problems


Hey guys!!! I hope y’all are doing great! Well, I’m not. I was quite disappointed when I found out that no one sent their Easter pictures to me. Well, it’s one of those things…
This week, we’ll be taking a look at relationship problems and how to solve them.
Your relationship will not always be picture perfect and whether you like or not, problems will come along. Having a relationship problem does not necessarily mean that your relationship is doomed, but it does mean that more effort will be required to keep it together. Most couples ignore their relationship problems, hoping it will go away on its own, or they make up but never discuss what happened or find ways to prevent it, which is why many couples suffer from chains of problems. Some problems will be easier to handle than others and it often helps to get professional relationship advice. A huge amount of people have found expert advice helpful and useful in improving their relationship and finding wonderful ways to solve their problems and avoid future similar troubles. Tackle your problems as soon as possible so your relationship can get back on track and continue to improve.
+ Frequent arguments: Sometimes, you realize that you and your partner argue for no clear reason. One minute you’re watching a movie, the next minute you’re arguing on what just happened in the movie. This kind of arguments can lead to breakdown in communication. Such breakdown often leads to unhealthy, “poisonous” patterns of behavior in which the partners relate to each other in a hurtful manner. Relationship Counselling expert, Dr John Gottman explains four of such “poisonous” ways of interacting that prevents resolving marriage problems constructively. The best way to avoid this is to sit your partner down and converse with them.
+ Feeling more angry, confused and sad than happy: This feeling usually arises when you think you can’t tolerate your partner anymore or vice versa. I’ve read so many stories of cases like this when the guy decides to break up with the girl for no reason, flirt with other girls, and then asks for forgiveness and repeats the same cycle. Often times, the woman tolerates all this because of the love she has for him and ends up feeling more angry, confused and sad than happy. Usually, the best solution is to abandon this sort of relationship. Honestly, you can do better. No one should have to go through this.
Complaining about your relationship (to others): complaining against one’s partner – either to the person, to other people or to oneself is dominant in some relationships. Some people think that complaining or pointing out the flaws will make them change but it makes things worse instead. If there’s anything your partner is doing that displeases you, or if he/she possesses a trait that you find annoying, the best thing to do is to talk to him/her about it or ignore such trait or behavior completely.
+ Not trusting your partner: The strength of a relationship is measured by how much you trust each other. Some people find it difficult to trust their partner, and for good reason too. If your partner has given you a reason, at one time or the other, not to trust him/her, then you are justified. If this is the case, then you should try to forgive your partner and give them a chance to gain your trust again. The love you have for your partner should enable you to trust them, or else, you will create a pattern of insecurity and jealousy which will eventually destroy that relationship.
+ Difficulty expressing your feelings to your partner: It’s very easy to share your thoughts, but not your feelings. By sharing what is in your heart with your partner, you can achieve deeper intimacy. If there’s no intimacy between you and your partner, then your relationship is headed for the rocks. Learn how to share your feelings here.
Betrayal: This is the major reason for distrust. Forgiveness is the key, if the love is there.
+ Being lied to or feeling that you have lied.
+ Not knowing where your relationship is leading.
Suspicion of an unfaithful partner.
