Couple Therapy for the Downs in Your Relationship Have you ever contemplated how relationships work? While some of you may have a good experience, some of you were let down, and for the rest, probably a good opportunity to learn and discover more about yourself. You are lucky if you got it easy, but otherwise, relationships are no piece of cake. Just like your car, it too needs care, attention and maintenance. Of course not all relationships are the same or alike; each has its own unique story. If you are looking forward to having a great story to tell, there are some aspects that you would necessarily have to adopt and let go as well. Sadly, most relationships start with attraction between two people; this happens when they think of each other as attractive, which is a physical factor because it means looking at outer beauty only. If in the first spark of your connection itself you consider body and attractiveness as a significant factor contributing to your relationship, it may work out for you but it is an the sign if an unhealthy mindset. If your partner’s body matters so much in a relationship, you are in for a big disappointment, because while bodies do obtain you pleasure, it is the partner, their personality and their spirit that you truly connect to. You will never truly connect with each other if you are not compatible otherwise. It is also extremely vital for both the partners to communicate freely and be good listeners. Understanding between two people comes from respect for each other’s space and opinions. Letting things go is okay sometimes when you see that there is no point in mulling over it again and again when it is not leading anywhere. However, discretion is equally important for matters that are about one’s self respect and emotions. Some relationships have a dominant partner where you could be a pushover. In such cases the other partner must stand up for himself/herself or defend their point of view to avoid miscommunications or misunderstandings, because relationships are a two-way effort. Hence, respect is important, and so is compromise. It is unfair for one partner to ‘understand’ and compromise always. Relationships aren’t always honeymoon and fairytales, thus it is recommended that couples take couple therapy when struggling. Next, honesty and transparency is the best policy in a relationship. Building trust takes time and effort, but breaking trust takes finger snap long. The relationship would never work if you are not truthful to your partner, or do not trust your partner. Frustration from dubious and furtive behavior leads to breaking up. It is also typical for some people to play the blame game. You www.tanuchoksi.in
