Don’t compare your relationship
Problem
We may sometimes draw comparisons between our partner and ex partner, or even compare our relationships to those of our friends. This can lead to feelings of bitterness, discontent, and even unrealistic expectations.
Solution
The important thing for you to remember is that each relationship is different and will bring different things into your life. Each step is unique in your relationship, and others may have taken different approaches that suit them better. Keeping in mind the newness of your experience with your partner is important for making sure we do not make comparisons.
For example, your friend may have a relationship where they socialize a lot with their other set of friends. However, your partner may prefer to spend more alone time with you and want to slowly ease into being out with your friends.
Benefits
These differences are natural, and making sure we don’t make comparisons helps us have a healthy and open space for the relationship to grow. It helps us have realistic expectations and function better as a couple.
Be responsive
Problem
When communicating in a relationship, being unresponsive can lead to the other person feeling unheard or unseen.
Solution
Responsiveness involves turning towards the other person emotionally and literally as often as you are able, even when it isn’t convenient.
For example, this can mean putting down what you are working on and turning towards your loved one who has just come to you with something important. Despite having other priorities competing for your attention, choosing to give it to your loved one when you know it’s important is vital.
Benefits
Being responsive has the power to build closeness between people, which in turn builds a deep sense of love, trust, and connection in relationships.
Do not stonewall
Problem
Stonewalling involves avoiding conversations or refusing to talk to someone. When we feel upset, we may block our partner out, which can have detrimental effects on the relationship.
Solution
Communicating your stance and your feelings is a better way to approach conflict than stonewalling. While you may find it hard to have a conversation when the argument is heated, it is still essential not to shut down communication completely.
For example, even when the argument is distressing and you want to walk away, you can still let your partner know that you are overwhelmed and will speak to them once you feel calm and stable enough to have a conversation.
Benefits
Not engaging in stonewalling can help avoid feelings of hurt and confusion for your partner. Good communication will help the both of you to resolve your conflict in a much healthier way.
Find a healthy pace
Problem
When getting into relationships, people often rush into things, and the pace can make either partner uncomfortable or edgy. This can then lead to a weak foundation for the relationship.
Solution
The way to go about this is by communicating effectively and finding a pace for the relationship that works for the both of you. Starting and progressing at a pace that feels healthy and stress free is very important, and there should be no pressure to move faster or be “closer” than you currently are. It’s vital that both parties are on the same page.
For example, if you would like your partner to meet your parents, you should first talk to him about it and check if he is ok with it.
Benefits
Agreeing on milestones and setting a pace together can lead to a deeper understanding between couples. It also helps them bond over the process and build a strong foundation in their relationship.
Don’t expect them to read your mind
Problem
Our partner is often the closest person we have in our lives, and so we assume they are always aware of how we feel. This can lead to us feeling disappointed and upset.
Solution
Expectating your partner to read your mind creates conflict. Openly communicating your feelings and opinions is vital in a successful relationship.
For example, your partner's friend may have said something that upset you, and you think they should know about it without you having to explain it to them. They may actually not be aware of how you felt in that social situation, so sharing your feelings will help them understand you better.
Benefits
When we don’t have these unrealistic expectations, it leads to less conflict and being heard and understood more.
Discuss parenting
Problem
As parents, we sometimes deal with children based on our own value systems. There can be differences of opinion on how best to go about parenting, which can lead to conflict with our partner.
Solution
It’s essential for the both of you to regularly sit down and talk about the value systems you both come from and how you wish to go about parenting your child.
For example, your idea of freedom may differ from your partner’s, so it’s a great idea to discuss how much freedom you want your child to have.
Benefits
This can help both of you avoid conflict. It also provides a healthy and consistent environment for the child, which positively impacts your relationship.
Practice being a listener
Problem
When in relationships, listening is a very important skill. Not being a good listener may lead to you losing out on a deeper understanding of your partner, which in turn leads to your partner feeling uncomfortable about sharing things.
Solution
Being a good listener involves giving your undivided attention to your partner while putting your own needs and agendas aside. You need to avoid giving advice or interrupting. You have to be patient and let them speak about whatever they want.
Benefits
This motivates the partner to speak without being judged. They find comfort in speaking with you, which leads to a feeling of being heard and understood. This in turn strengthens your bond and connection.
Tell your partner what you need
Problem
When you don’t communicate your needs clearly and leave them for your partner to guess, it will only lead to misunderstandings. This can eventually result in feeling a growing resentment and sense of helplessness.
Solution
It’s key to remember that your partner is not a mind reader. It’s essential to clearly state your needs and what you want from the relationship. While your partner may have an idea, it is much healthier to express your needs directly and avoid any confusion. Your partner may sense something, but it might not be exactly what you require. What’s more, people change, and what you wanted five years ago, for example, may be very different now.
Benefits
This is crucial for keeping unwanted conflict at bay. It brings clarity to your relationship so you feel less helpless and more confident communicating within it.
Set realistic expectations
Problem
Relationships come with expectations, which are often seen as the root cause of discontent and conflict.
Solution
An important aspect of healthy relationships is setting realistic expectations. Expectations come as part and parcel of relationships, which makes them unavoidable.
For example, you may want to spend time with your partner and receive a fair amount of attention on a daily basis. For this, it would be a good idea to set the expectation of a dedicated time in the evening that would work for the both of you. This is better than having an expectation to communicate all throughout the day as this can be difficult given work or any other commitments you may both have.
Benefits
This will help you to maintain healthy boundaries while communicating your expectations. It will also help avoid the conflicts and discontent stemming from it.
Be open and honest
Problem
Honesty is a non-negotiable expectation in any relationship. If you are unable to communicate openly and honestly in a relationship, it can lead to difficulty trusting and understanding your partner.
Solution
We need to start with being open and honest about ourselves, our past, the present, and our needs with our partner. When setting expectations in a relationship, talk about what honesty means to each of you, and always honor it. You can begin by sharing things that are important to you, such as issues from previous relationships or things that you would want your partner to know. It could also be about your family or things that you find difficult to cope with during arguments.
Benefits
This will help you build trust as a couple and have a deeper understanding of each other. These factors contribute to having healthy, long-lasting relationships.
Love yourself first
Problem
If you struggle to love and value yourself, you are more likely to get into relationships where you end up compromising on essential values. You may find yourself unhappy and dissatisfied through the whole experience.
Solution
We need to start to value and build a healthy relationship with ourselves before getting into a relationship. It’s essential to understand what you value and give yourself the credit you deserve for being the well rounded person that you are. Learn to love yourself by repeating positive affirmations, acknowledging and appreciating your strengths, and doing things that make you feel good.
Benefits
When you value yourself, you're more likely to stick to your standards and expectations, and end up with a partner who is everything you deserve. This will help you to have happy and healthy relationships.
Don’t expect your partner to fix your problems
Problem
When in a relationship, we may expect our partner to solve our problems. For example, if you have been going through feelings of being left out or that you don’t fit in, and you expect your partner to make you feel included.
Solution
A relationship gives you someone to traverse life’s problems with. You won’t be alone, but it won’t fix your problems or heal you either. It’s a disservice to expect that from your partner. You have to do it yourself.
For example, if you are struggling with low self esteem, your partner can give you support, however, it won’t change the relationship you have with yourself.
Benefits
Being aware of this can help you choose your partner with more caution and have relationships with less conflict. The expectations aren’t unrealistic, so you have a healthier space in your relationship.
Maintain financial independence
Problem
In relationships, lines can eventually blur in regard to overlapping finances, and we may start to reduce the priority on keeping our own finances for things we may want to invest in. This can make us feel restricted and frustrated.
Solution
While two people in a relationship need to be honest with each other about how they spend their money, it’s a good idea for both sides to agree that each person has their own discretionary pot of money to spend on whatever they want. Just because you have the same priorities as a family, doesn’t mean you can’t occasionally feed your personal indulgences.
Benefits
This can help you maintain a sense of independence and avoid feeling restricted. This in turn reduces relationship stress and fosters a better understanding between the two of you.
Practice mutual respect
Problem
There will be points of conflict and differences in every relationship, and when there is no respect for these differences we can find ourselves feeling unsettled and violated.
Solution
Mutual respect is a very important factor in all relationships. It simply means being kind, receptive, and mindful with your partner. You can disagree with someone and still respect their opinion.
For example, in arguments we should be mindful of the words we use, and when there are differences of opinion we should try and respect them instead of dismissing how the other person feels.
Benefits
This can help build trust and a safe space in the relationship, which leads to longer, healthier, and more satisfying relationships.
Take your time, don’t rush into a relationship
Problem
We may sometimes rush into relationships without considering our readiness or the possible outcome. This can lead to distress down the line.
Solution
It’s important for us to consider whether we are emotionally and mentally prepared to get into a relationship before doing so. We should weigh how emotionally secure we feel by ourselves. You and your partner can then have a healthy emotional space instead of being a crutch for each other.
For example, if you have recently gotten out of a relationship that was quite intense, it may be helpful for you to consider your readiness to get emotionally invested again.
Benefits
This can help you have better mental health, which in turn leads to healthy long term relationships. It also helps for you to grow with your partner instead of just relying on them for your own support.
Practice acceptance
Problem
We may sometimes find things about our partners that do not fit our expectations. These may be things that annoy us, and we may try to change them. This can create conflict and make your partner feel uncomfortable.
Solution
You and your partner need to accept each other for who you are! You shouldn’t try to change each other. You can simply be yourself and show your true identity without worrying if your partner will judge you. It’s important for you to know that your partner isn’t someone you can change, or who you should change for.
For example, you may want someone who is more attached and shows physical affection in public, but your partner is an introvert and gives affection in other ways.
Benefits
You must accept them for who they are. Research has shown that partners who accept each other tend to be more satisfied with their relationships.
Carve your own space
Problem
Overfamiliarity can make a relationship feel like a trap. If taken to an extreme, one partner gradually isolates their significant other from their friends, family, and activities that they enjoy. This eventually leads to unhappiness and distress.
Solution
We need to make sure that we dedicate time to doing things by ourselves and give ourselves space to spend time alone. Although spending quality time with loved ones is essential, it is just as important to spend quality time alone — and allow our partner to do the same.
Benefits
This helps us maintain our own individuality, and at the same time have a healthy relationship with our partner.
Find your love language
Problem
We all communicate our affection and love in different ways. We can sometimes be unaware of our own or our partner's preferred forms of expression, which leads to feeling disconnected and unloved, or may even go unnoticed.
Solution
Finding your love languages as a couple and communicating with each other can be a real game changer for your relationship.
We all give and receive love in 5 different ways: words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and physical touch. These are called ‘love languages’.
For example, your love language could be giving gifts, and you often surprise your partner with thoughtful presents. You feel happy when they see your gift and appreciate the effort you put into getting it for them.
Benefits
Learning to speak your partner’s love language can drastically improve your relationship by fostering an understanding that helps to build a lasting foundation.
Be open to change
Problem
Your relationship may go through different changes over time. Changes generally tend to be stressful, and when we are resistant to change it only strains the relationship further.
Solution
An openness to change is a key feature of growing together in a relationship. We have to be aware of the change and embrace it as it comes.
For example, your partner may have found a new job which would require them to work different hours than you. It is essential for you and your partner to adapt to this change and figure out a way to spend quality time together.
Benefits
Being open to changes and adapting to them will help reduce friction and make the transition smoother. It helps to have a clear understanding and harbor a healthy relationship.
Appreciate differences
Problem
At the beginning of relationships we may feel attracted to people who are different from us. We are all aware of the phrase, “opposites attract”. Losing sight of these differences can lead to discontentment and a loss of excitement.
Solution
Learn to acknowledge and appreciate these differences instead of playing them down or ignoring them. Those little differences are what sparked your interest in each other in the first place, and are something that you must always keep close to your hearts. Appreciate each other, and you will not only appreciate the life you have created together – you’ll revel in it.
Benefits
Appreciating your differences is essential to maintaining a sense of excitement in a relationship. It keeps the spark alive while helping you to explore new perspectives.
Show physical affection
Problem
We may underestimate the importance of affection in relationships by taking it for granted. This can lead to feelings of disconnection and being unloved for our partners.
Solution
The smallest acts of physical affection can have a great impact on your relationship. Small acts of physical intimacy – the hand on the small of the back as you brush by in the hallway, your arm around their shoulder on the sofa, your hand on their thigh when seated side-by-side, holding hands while walking down the street – give your partner a warm feeling and convey the love and affection you feel for them.
Benefits
These small things can help maintain the spark in your relationship and harbor positive feelings. It lets your partner know that they are seen, loved, and appreciated.
Build trust
Problem
When first starting relationships, we may take the growth of trust for granted. This can lead to you and your partner being on different pages and cause arguments.
Solution
It’s important for you and your partner to build trust. Consistency and open communication about past experiences and trauma help to build a trusting space. People feel trust when they are able to rely on one another.
Benefits
Building trust helps form a solid foundation for the relationship. You can be vulnerable with your partner, which helps to build healthy long lasting relationships.
Do not attempt to control
Solution
It’s essential to keep yourself in check and try not to control what your partner does. While this may be coming from a protective stance at times, you should avoid manipulating or controlling them.
For example, you may not like one of your partner’s friends and tell them to not interact with them. Instead of inhibiting them, it’s essential to step back and let your partner choose the way they handle their friendships.
Benefits
When we are aware and non-controlling, our partners find it easier to be open and honest with us. It also helps for your partner to be their authentic self, which leads to healthier relationships.
Plan together
Problem
We may have certain timelines or expectations in our minds, which can lead to misunderstandings or feelings of neglect when they aren’t discussed with our partner.
Solution
When you and your partner make a deliberate effort to plan things together, it can be a great solution to a lot of mounting concerns with regard to scheduling.
For example, if you wish to switch jobs and move, planning it out with your partner in advance can help the both of you to figure out how you would make time together to support each other through the process.
Benefits
This helps your partner feel valued and involved in your life and the process. It would also help strengthen the relationship and make it more meaningful.
Don’t be too quick to judge
Problem
When we are dating and meet people for the first time, we may quickly judge them for small things like the way they talk or the way they dress. This can actually make us miss out on the possibility of a great relationship.
Solution
Giving yourself and the person you’re dating time is key to being successful in the dating world. When we judge people too quickly on things like the drink they order or the shoes they’re wearing, we may miss out on their other qualities that could be exactly what we were looking for.
First meetings don’t always give us enough information or understanding about the other person, and material judgements can cloud our vision. It’s helpful to look beyond these outer things and spend time getting to know the person.
Benefits
This will help you see the person for their qualities and actually find a partner you can have a lasting relationship with.
Share responsibilities
Problem
Living with your partner involves many responsibilities, such as chores around the house. These minor things can become points of frustration for your partner, and make them feel burdened and exhausted, which leads to arguments.
Solution
Sharing responsibilities and chores around the house in a systematic way can be a great way to reduce minor stressors. Dividing chores around the house equally based on comfort is a great idea, or you can alternate the chores you each do every week.
For example, one partner can get the groceries, while the other can do the laundry.
Benefits
This helps your partner feel supported, helped, and less exhausted in the long run. Doing chores together can also help couples bond, lead to less conflicts, and a happier, healthier relationship.
Use compassion
Problem
It is natural for our partners to go through difficult times, become irritable, or struggle with their emotions. When there is no compassion, these situations can lead to ruptures in a healthy relationship.
Solution
Compassion is the most important quality to have in a healthy relationship. Acts of compassion include things like changing individual plans for the sake of a partner and showing more affection.
When your partner is irritable due to work, for example, it will help for you to be understanding of what’s causing their stress and be in control of what you say to them in order to show compassion. It means being non judgemental and empathetic in your relationship.
Benefits
Compassion plays a key role in making your partner feel supported, understood, and safe. It creates a safe space for the both of you to express your emotions and also to cope with them.
Try something new together
Problem
As relationships progress, we begin losing the excitement we had when we first started dating our partner. When we don’t engage in learning new things together, it can be harder for us to connect.
Solution
A good step towards maintaining your relationship is to start trying new things with your partner. It can be as simple as making time to cook something new together, or you could even learn a language. You can also check with your partner about their interests and pick an activity new to you both.
Benefits
This will help you both learn more about each other, and keep the excitement and spark alive as you grow together.
Keep intimacy alive
Problem
In long term relationships, you may start feeling like you have lost the spark with your partner. There can be a certain monotony in life when there’s neither intimacy nor any effort to keep it alive.
Solution
It’s important to pay attention to how you and your partner show intimacy to one another in and out of the bedroom. It’s essential for both of you to work together on creating and choosing suitable occasions for intimacy. You can try scheduling a date night and make a deliberate effort together to create an intimate space.
People often think intimacy has to be a grand event in the bedroom with wine and roses, when in reality what’s most important to couples, especially for many women, is connection and passion. Being intimate can be as simple as talking and cuddling or affectionately touching.
Benefits
This helps you to maintain the momentum of your relationship and keep building on the things you cherish. It creates space for couples to connect regularly, which leads to healthier relationships.
Appreciate your partner
Problem
In long term relationships, we may start taking things for granted and forget to appreciate the things our partners do for us. This can lead to the other person feeling unappreciated and disheartened.
Solution
It’s important to start by appreciating all the small things your partner does for you. The things that they did for you at the start of your relationship are very important to remember. They are the essential points that keep the spark alive.
It could be a small thing like them making you a cup of coffee or dropping you off somewhere when they have a busy day.
Benefits
These small gestures amount to a huge change in the quality of the relationship, and you and your partner will feel more content, understood, and valued as a result.
Spend quality time
Problem
Over a period of time, many couples find themselves communicating only in a hurried manner via texts, calls, or emails. The time they spend face to face may reduce compared to the initial days, which leaves them feeling disconnected.
Solution
Spending quality time together is a key element of maintaining a healthy relationship. This may require you to deliberately schedule face to face time together. Commit to spending some quality time together on a regular basis. No matter how busy you are, take a few minutes each day to put aside your electronic devices, stop thinking about other things, and really focus on connecting with your partner.
Benefits
Being in the same physical space and spending quality time can significantly increase relationship satisfaction. It helps you stay connected and in tune with your partner. The emotional cues you both need to feel loved can only be conveyed in person.
Have healthy boundaries
Problem
When we get into relationships it can become difficult for us to have our own space and a sense of privacy. The relationship can then start to feel suffocating and distressing.
Solution
Maintaining healthy boundaries is key to a happy relationship. This means that you keep spaces just for you.
For example, it is natural for you to share your daily routine or your whereabouts during the day with your partner. However, it may be unhealthy to expect them to share their phone/computer passwords or details of conversations they have with their close friends.
Benefits
Maintaining these boundaries helps you keep a sense of your own individuality. It also gives you the time and space you need for yourself so you can engage healthily with your partner.
Create rituals
Problem
Over a period of time, we may stop doing things that help us bond with our partner. We take things for granted, which leads to disappointment and a disconnection.
Solution
Rituals of connection are an important tool for successful relationships, and a way of regularly turning towards your partner.
For example, whenever possible, turn off the TV and put away your cell phones. Your emails and social media feeds can wait. Another factor to consider is that being in a long-term partnership doesn’t mean you have to stop dating. Regularly go out (or stay in) with your partner just like you did before you lived together.
Benefits
Never underestimate the power of spending intentional time with your partner. This can ignite passion and keep you connected. You tend to form closer and more meaningful relationships in this way.
Activities you enjoy together
Problem
You may have bonded with your partner over things you both enjoy. However, you can lose sight of these activities as time passes, which leads to feeling lost and disconnected.
Solution
You may have enjoyed a few things when you started off your relationship, and you need to work on preserving them as much as possible. It could be any activity you both enjoy doing together, like a shared hobby, a dance class, daily walk, or sitting over a cup of coffee in the morning.
Benefits
This helps give you and your partner the opportunity to bond over things that are important to you both. You will then be able to preserve a deeper connection and enjoy a more meaningful relationship.
Consider the roots of their stress
Problem
If you’re in an argument with your partner, you may assume that the source of the problem is you. However, even if the argument is being had with you, it might not really be about you.
Solution
Try to think about what may actually be causing the tension in your relationship, and work to address the real reason your partner is feeling stressed. External factors in your partner’s life may be contributing to their increased stress levels.
Benefits
If you can help your partner reduce the external stressors in their life, it will help diffuse similar arguments in the future and show your partner that you’re supportive and sympathetic.
Be willing to work through things
Problem
During the ups and downs of a relationship, we may feel helpless and become passive. This can lead to us losing out on a healthy relationship.
Solution
If there is a blip in the relationship, you can restore your previous level of happiness as long as both people are willing to work through it. Relationships ebb and flow, and are forever changing, so it's essential to be flexible and roll with the punches.
Benefits
A willingness to work also shows your partner that you are committed to the process and helps both of you build trust and a sense of safety together.
Manage displacing emotions
Problem
When we have a distressing day or experience frustration in other areas of our lives, we may end up displacing our emotions on our partner. This creates conflicts and friction in the relationship.
Solution
Learning to manage our emotions and distress from other areas of our lives is one of the keys to maintaining a healthy relationship.
For example, if you have had a frustrating day at work, it is healthy for you to communicate this to your partner. We also want to attempt to direct and communicate these emotions to the person they are concerned with instead of our loved ones.
For example, if you are upset with your co-worker, you should communicate with them about it rather than taking it out on your partner.
Benefits
By communicating the distress, but not taking it out on our partner, it saves us from having a fight with the person who is most important to us. You will have a better understanding in your relationship as a result.
Keep old arguments in the past
Problem
When we get into a conflict with our partner, it can be common for us to drag up old arguments and issues from the past. This only intensifies the argument and makes resolution more difficult.
Solution
Keeping old arguments in the past is important for maintaining a healthy relationship. Rather than looking back to past conflicts or grudges and assigning blame, focus on what you can do in the here-and-now to solve the problem.
Benefits
This can help you solve the problem at hand and reach a resolution quicker. The conflict won’t derail and intensify as easily when we attend to one issue at a time. This in turn leads to lower stress, better understanding, and a stronger connection with your partner.
Be willing to forgive
Problem
Relationships come with a lot of ups and downs. Disappointments and conflicts may lead to situations which take us to breaking point. Not being able to forgive our partners can only make things harder.
Solution
In order to sustain relationships, forgiveness is an essential quality. Humans make mistakes. Your partner may not be able to live up to your expectations at times, and you should approach this with openness and acceptance.
For example, your partner may not be able to make it for a family dinner due to an emergency at work. While this may be very important to you, you must also be open to forgiving the person.
Benefits
Forgiveness helps to resolve conflicts in a much healthier manner, and also help build relationships that are based on understanding, openness, and mutual understanding.
Know when to let go
Problem
Conflicts with our partners can flare up and become extremely upsetting, especially when we don’t know when to let go. This can lead to exhaustion and discontent in our relationships.
Solution
Knowing when to let go in a conflict is a very important skill to learn. If you can’t come to an agreement, agree to disagree. It takes two people to keep an argument going. If a conflict is going nowhere, you can choose to disengage and move on. Keep in mind that the one you love is far more valuable than proving your point or being right.
Benefits
This can help you communicate better by listening to what the other person has to say. It will also reduce discontent and prevent the argument from becoming a massive conflict.
