Does life exist without problems? If it does, how can we appreciate the nicer things in life, the calm after a storm, a bright day after a dark night?
It’s the same with relationships as well. There is no relationship without problems; the issues might differ, the intensity might vary, but the discord is there.
The beauty of a relationship lies in the way you address the problems and rise above them. In this post, MomJunction tells you about some common relationship problems and ways to overcome them. What he could have ideally done was remind her once again in the morning or just before leaving for the party.
Lack of communication can be the cause of several relationship problems. You assume your partner knows about it, you think it is not necessary for your partner to know or you simply don’t pay attention to what your partner is saying because you are watching television, checking your mobile, or working on your laptop.
The answer to this problem is simple – talk and listen.
Make an appointment: Fix a time to sit and talk every day – be it over the breakfast, dinner or a cup of coffee
Mirror: Let the communication flow from both sides. Don’t interrupt your partner while he/she is talking. Listen actively to understand your partner. Maintain eye contact and lean forward.
Validate: Acknowledge what your partner says by repeating back what you heard your partner say to you. Then ask, “Did I get you?”
Emphasize: Use feeling words to express the importance of giving attention to your partner. “I can imagine that you might be feeling frustrated.”
Avoid disruptions: Put away your gadgets while communicating, especially your cell phone, which invades your personal time and creates a distraction

12 Most Common Problems In A Relationship You May Face
Though no two relationships are similar, the problems most couples face can be broadly categorized as below:
1. Communication

Jane waits for Jack to come home for dinner. It gets late at night and when Jane messages, Jack replies that he went out for a party with his friends. He assumes that his wife remembers because he told her about the party a fortnight ago.
What he could have ideally done was remind her once again in the morning or just before leaving for the party.
Lack of communication can be the cause of several relationship problems. You assume your partner knows about it, you think it is not necessary for your partner to know or you simply don’t pay attention to what your partner is saying because you are watching television, checking your mobile, or working on your laptop.
If not nipped in the bud, the communication gap has the ability to ruin relationships.

Lack of trust

Jane feels that her husband is a little too close with his female colleague. Every time he is late from office or goes out with his friends, Jane is almost sure that he is with his colleague. Jack knows his wife’s suspicions are baseless but does little to convince her.
If trust is missing in a relationship, it wobbles. Do not let mistrust seep into your relationship. Sort it out with your partner.
How You Can Solve It:
Building trust is a slow process but works if you are sincere in your efforts.
