Five Things To Avoid In Your Relationship

by Lexi S Delaney

We should ensure that we deal with a relationship intelligently. Making our relationships more intimate and secure is a continuous learning process. Follow a few tips to avoid getting into situations with your partner. Given below, are 5 of the worst things you can do, to endanger your relationship. If you can learn to stay clear of these “don’ts,” your chances of maintaining a long lasting relationship is definite.

1. Communicating effectively. This may sound easier than it appears. In most cases, we do not listen to what our partner is saying. Instead we try to read between the lines and only understand what we want to hear. Your partner may make an innocent remark about an obese person which you may interpret as a cruel remark to your weight, especially, if you know that you have put on a few extra pounds.

Your insecurity gets the better of you, when you hear him commenting about some overweight person you come across in a beach. This example is just one of the many instances that you two could face when you misunderstand what the other is trying to say. You should not try to find fault when he is just making an innocent comment.

If you are suffering from his remarks, ask him outright if he was referring to you on the off-chance. This could clear the matter immediately and you will feel closer, once you have communicated your feelings and got his reply.

2. Give and take equally. There should be equal give and take in any relationship. If this happens to be one-sided, with one of you doing all the giving and one just taking, the relationship is not right. You do not have to be at the giving end as this does not make for a healthy relationship.

3. Show your affection for your partner. You should not suppress your display of affection with your partner. By this, it does not mean that you have sex more frequently, to show you care. Sex is not the only way one can express their love. Be openly demonstrative by giving your partner a quick hug, or squeeze when you pass them, or sneak up from behind to plant a kiss on your partner.

4. Maintain a healthy relationship with no bad vices. If you both are involved in activities that are not above board, for instance, using drugs or drinking heavily in wrong company, your relationship is doomed to suffer. If your partner has a serious addiction or is a shoplifter, for example, you should get help immediately. By staying on in this type of relationship, you will destroy every vestige of living in a clean relationship and will only have disastrous results.

5. Make your partner your best friend. While many people claim that their partner is their best friend, they also admit to the fact that they do not keep secrets from each other. There is no relationship that can be honest and lasting, if there is no sharing and intimacy in their lives. Just having sex does not keep them close to each other. Honesty definitely will.

I have formulated these 5 ground , as a lay person and not as a therapist, who gives you many tips on T.V. In my opinion, your relationship can score if you follow these basic rules.
