Let’s Stick Together: Solving Common Relationship Problems

Even the most picture-perfect relationships have their problems. If you meet a couple who claims that their relationship is perfect, they’ve either only been together for a very short time, or they’re lying! The good news is that relationship problems do not have to spell the end of a love affair – even the biggest problems can be fixed if you’re willing to work on it.

If you’re serious about sticking together, take a look at these tricky relationship problems and how you can solve them:

No Communication
When you first get together with someone new, talking is easy. You want to get to know your new beau, and you each have an endless stream of questions for each other. Too soon, this peters out, and you might find yourself struggling to say anything at all.

Luckily, this is an easy problem to solve! If you’ve run out of things to say, start doing new things. Unique experiences, either together or apart, will give you plenty to talk about when you come together as a couple.

Lack of Trust
If you and your partner do not have trust for one another, it is inevitable that your relationship will be marred by paranoia, jealousy and plenty of raised voices. Trust is not always an easy thing to have, especially if you’ve been bunt in the past. So, if you are unable to trust your partner, even though they have done nothing wrong, you might want to visit http://www.symmetrycounseling.com/ to look into couple’s counselling.

Jealousy
Related to a lack of trust, jealousy is a huge problem that can so easily rip a couple apart. Whether you are jealous about your partner’s fabulous career, or the attention they get from the opposite sex if you’re jealous it’s unlikely your relationship will relax.

To get over jealousy, you first need to build trust in your partner (see above), then you need to take a look at yourself. Are you jealous because you lack self-esteem? Do you feel like you’re not good enough? It’s not fair to take these issues court on your partner, and it is something you need to work on.

Jealousy can be a tough nut to crack, but what it boils down to is putting your faith in your partner and relationship, giving up comparisons between yourself and others and not imagining the worst when you have no reason to do so.

Lack of Interest in Sex
After the honeymoon period is over, one or both partners might lose their interest in sex. If this happens, it is important not to put any pressure on yourself or your partner, but you should not give up either. Try new things in the bedroom, act out your fantasies, do anything that will make sex interesting again and you will soon be back to your usual sensual selves.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, a relationship is just not meant to be, and it is important you recognise this. If you put your heart and soul into fixing your relationship, but it stays broken, it may just be time to move on.
