You are reading this, so I am guessing that you feel your relationship could be better.
You are wondering what is wrong with it and what you can do about it.
The following 3 tips are helpful to anybody and in any relationship.
Family relationships suffer the same difficulties as marriages or less formal love relationships.
1.
Take stock of your relationship.
Look for the telltale signs of a relationship heading for the rocks or the divorce courts.
These signs are indifference, contempt, conflict, communication breakdown, jealousy, or infidelity.
Let's look at each in turn.
Indifference is a death knell for a relationship because it is when one or other or both partners take the other for granted.
The spark has gone and the passion of a faint echo of the early days.
Contempt is when you feel pity for or look down upon everything your partner does.
You feel they lack intelligence, judgement or some other characteristic that is important to you.
All of the telltale signs of a relationship in trouble cut both ways.
Conflict at some level is present in all relationships.
It only becomes a problem when it the norm rather than the exception and it seems that there is nothing too insignificant to lead you to score point off your partner over.
Violent conflict is an automatic stop sign for any relationship.
Remember that verbal violence is the inevitable preliminary to actual violence and lost love.
Get out now before it is too late! Communication breakdown is where you are not listening and talking to one another.
Sure there can be lots of dialogue but are you sharing what you think truly, what you feel deeply and what are your motivations for your actions.
Without open communication suspicion and mistrust fill the vacuum.
Jealousy, whether justified or not is a real relationship killer.
If you find yourself explaining your behavior and having to prove your innocence you need to ask what is at the bottom of all this negative emotion.
Infidelity can of course precede jealousy and there is no clearer sign that one or other of you is not having all of your emotional needs met within the relationship.
2.
Decide what you want to do about your relationship because while it is half yours and half your partners you are responsible for 100% of your actions.
After you have taken stock of your relationship you are in a good position to act in one of two possible ways.
You can end your relationship and move on or you can try to save your relationship.
One or possibly two of the telltale signs of a relationship in trouble and there is still hope for a turnaround improvement.
When three or more of the signs are present and have been for a while then you may well benefit from counselling help to save your relationship.
If you feel there are four or more of the signs in your relationship it is probably time to move on for the sake of your own happiness.
3.
Change your mind to save your relationship.
If you want to save your relationship it is within your power to do so.
Personal change and growth starts with you.
Make an action plan of the things you are going to do differently from now on and start with a 'cards on the table' true communication with your partner.
