Is your relationship stuck in a rut?
Are you tired of the same old routine? Do you still love your partner
bit feel you are drifting apart? Relationships play a massive part
in most peoples lives, so why do we let so many problems build up and
then let them all come together and cause a break up? Everyone wants
something different from a relationship but once we think we have
found 'the one' we seem to forget about the other persons needs and
wants, it is then the relationship starts to break down.

partners needs. No relationship is perfect, they all have their
troubles. This is where a Life Coach can help, you may wish to see a

Tips For A Healthy And Lasting Marriage
Ever wonder why there are couples who seem to be at the prime of their lives yet continue to carry the torch towards each other? There happens to be several marriages that fall apart even it just marked its 2nd month wedding anniversary. Does this statistic alarm you that the Sanctity of Marriage especially on the part that says "Till death do us part" appears to be crumbling down?
Although Divorce is Legal in some States, is Marriage just a piece of paper? There are still some couples who have been married for 50 years yet remain together even though their kids have already grown up. Is there really a formula to withstand such relationship?
The following Tips may help uphold the Marriage Vow which prompts the both of you to stay together:
-
Set aside some Couple Time.
Watch a movie together or better yet, dine in places you used to go to when you were just dating each other. Reminisce good old times.
-
Open separate bank accounts as well as a joint account.
Let's be practical here. Gone are the days when the husband is the only one slaving through different odd jobs and goes home to his wife and gives the entire paycheck to her. It would not hurt if you set aside some for yourself as well as for her so in case of emergencies, you will not drain the entire savings account.
Continue living for richer, for poorer -- you know what comes next.
Then read this and start saving your relationship today!
Ok, so doesn't they just know exactly which buttons to press to make
you frustrated, angry and well... just plain peed off?
Whether you live together, or whether you live miles and miles
apart from your partner, the one thing that will tear your relationship
apart in a heartbeat is the 'getting the wrong end of the stick' scenario
Think about it... how many times have you said something innocently to
someone and they've taken it the wrong way? You're left thinking....
"what the....?" or "I didn't mean it like that" but the damage is done
and you have unintentionally offended someone.
This happens in most relationships and is the start of most rows.
Think about every time you have had a row - unless it's something
REALLY serious, most times it starts with one person getting the
'wrong end of the stick'. A flippant comment, an innocent remark,
a joke even but if it touches a nerve, if it pushes a button then it
isn't seen as innocent and definitely not a joke, it's upsetting,
hurtful us and then before we know what' s happened, either you or
your partner have reacted to that comment and your both on the defence
and trouble starts.
Our loved ones will never intend to hurt us.
The next time you feel yourself reacting to something your partner has
said, the next time you feel hurt, disrespected, de-valued, unloved because
of a flippant comment, a stupid joke or an off the cuff remark ask yourself.
What is the best reaction in this situation?
Does he/she intend to hurt me?
Could our present circumstances be influencing this comment?
What can I do to ensure I react in the best way possible?
Taking a deep breath and giving yourself time to assess the situation before
reacting could easily prevent conflict, an argument or further conflict in
your relationship.
We tend to respond to our feelings and not our thoughts but if we can train ourselves to listen to our self talk (that little voice inside our head) and ask ourselves better questions (like those above) we get better answers and we respond in a more positive way to those around us.
This can avoid so many arguments and misunderstandings.
It takes practice.. you have to consciously remember NOT to react like you usually do and consciously ask yourself the questions above before you react.
Till next time, happy loving.
Are You Relationship-Ready?
Both men and women love to get ahead of themselves when it comes to the aspect of love and relationships. This is especially true for young adults and teenagers who immediately want to indulge in new relationships as soon as they find themselves of legal age (or at least with their parents' consent). However, there are a lot of factors that need to be determined before forcing yourself into relationships. Wouldn't it be nice to know that you are ready for a commitment that you are confident that you can handle and live with for the longest time? If you are unsure about your answers, here are a few questions to help you determine if you are ready for relationships.
Do you set too much expectations?
Well, you shouldn't. Relationships are supposed to be spontaneous and fun. They are not supposed to be bounded by a lot of rules and expectations. To be ready for a relationship, you have to free yourself from these ideas and be ready to love someone despite certain conditions.
Do you have a hangover with an ex?
If you do, then you need to fix that issue first before going through another relationship. It would be unfair to not fully commit yourself with a person who might be willing to spend the rest of his/her life with you. Give yourself the time to get over your ex and everything will follow.
Do you have trust issues?
If you find yourself exaggeratedly jealous over a lot of things, it is best to manage those feelings first before getting into a relationship. No one wants an emotional rollercoaster with their boyfriend/girlfriend.
Till next time:-)
