5 Methods to Keep a Relationship (Unfortunately) Strong
Silence the Difficult Discussions
If your significant other is squandering pennies like they're going out of style, keep mum. If your wife is flinging criticism like darts, don't pry. Happy couples confront their obstacles head-on, nurturing honest, constructive talks. But what we need here is avoidance, and for that, break out the willful denial!
"Couples where one avoids conflicts while the other yearns for resolution are left with a lingering dissatisfaction," explained Kyle Bourassa, study leader, to the "Daily Mail". "These unexpressed feelings can lead to unnecessary stress and long-term implications on health."
Make it a Scoreboard
Little appreciative gestures gone unnoticed, a forgotten anniversary - every slight adds up. Keep tally, score all the points, and ensure your partner's on the losing side. After all, you want to ensure you're the one betting big in this relationship, right? If you desire a fulfilling connection, open communication is the key, not a scoreboard.
"If communication in the relationship is poor, emotional distance forms over time," explained relationship therapist Nancy Glisoni in a stern interview. "If the emotional bond has wavered, the partner beside you can feel like a stranger."
Secret Spy Games
The moment your sweetheart engages in a suspicious conversation on their phone, seize the opportunity to snoop! Just dash in and swipe the device when they're busy in the shower - true love demands it!
Information stolen: Not cool. In a stable relationship, trust must stand as the foundation, and invading privacy is a breach of that bond.
Trust No One - Especially Your Partner
Temptation may knock; you may be itching to explore the world beyond your domestic bliss. Lie, deny, manipulate - whatever it takes to keep the truth hidden. People in content relationships don't require such deception; they see themselves as partners striving for a shared objective, not adversaries.
"Maintaining a relationship on lies is like building a foundation on sand," says therapist Britta Hochheimer. "Without honesty, it's impossible to construct a stable and long-lasting relationship. To avoid engaging in such deceit, focus on open and truthful communication with your partner from the start."
The Relationship - Yours for keeps
In the beginning, you're the epitome of charm, the cat subsiding to the irresistible mouse's siren call. But now that the game is played, the partnership won, it's the perfect time to check out. Relationships don't maintain themselves - they require effort, even after years.
"Relationships are like self-starters," stressed sex and couples therapist Dr. Heike Melzer. "To ensure their longevity, effort must be applied - from the first day and even after years."
