Relationship
Issues.
It's important to deal with
issues immediately. Some seemingly perfect relationships are suddenly going through separation or divorce. Most
people do not have the skills to begin to address early discomforts and miscommunication in a
relationship.
As we settle in a realtionship we often begin to feel the need to
grow.
But that is often interpreted
as dissatisfaction with your partner.
After a few months or years couples can no longer sustain that level of discontent
and begin reacting inappropriately. The relationship loses it's heart so they give up. Simply because they did not
have a healthy relationship role model. Most people come from dysfunctional families. How do you identify current
past challenges.
Reality is, for any relationship to be enjoyed and sustained it requires growth.
There'll always be something you'll find you want to change. This can create resistance from your partner. One of
you may love to expand and grow at a fast pace. The other may be happy to just maintain the comfort of the
known.
This can be very healthy for a relationship. It's how you approach it that will
make or break your relationship. This is the time to give a relationship coach a call.
This can be perfect opportunity for relationships enrichment
therapy.
No relationship is perfect we cannot predict how our partner would interpret our
behavior. What may seem reasonable and typical behaviour for you may be interpreted personally by your partner as
sabotage. Or they may be overlooking behavior that needs modifying hoping that it will get better. Neither approach
is healthy for sustainable relationships.
