Relationships are fragile, if not handled cautiously, years of love, care, trust and companionship can be destroyed. Sometimes, we may not realize what we are not doing right and this may jeopardize our relationship.
It is important we take cognizance of some unhealthy habits that have the potency to destroy a relationship.
1) DECEPTION: Deception can ruin any relationship. It is unhealthy for a partner to be manipulative. When you are not honest, you give room for trust to be broken. Honesty should be your only policy.
2) IGNORING ISSUES: Avoiding issues doesn’t take them away, it accumulates and complicate things. Always try to resolve issues amicably.
3) DEFENSIVENESS: Being defensive can destroy a relationship. When you are defensive, you’re ignoring the feelings of your partner.
Do not always try to prove your partner wrong.
Learn to communicate effectively with your partner.
4) EXPECTATIONS: Too much expectations can ruin your relationship. Having unrealistic expectations will eventually lead to disappointment. Love your partner for who they are and not for whom you expect them to be.
5) CONSISTENT CRITICISM: When you consistently criticize your partner, you’re simply amplifying their weakness thereby creating a negative aura in your relationship. Even if you mean well, do not focus on their flaws, focus their strength.
It is very vital to note that if you truly value your relationship and you want every bit of time spent as partners to be of quality, these habits should be checked. When you don’t spend quality time with your partner, they feel ignored.
If you place premium on your relationship, work on yourself and ensure that your years of love with your partner isn’t a journey in futility.
Avoid habits that may destroy your relationship and strive to take become better by the day.
Live right, date right, marry right.
Do have a lovely evening.
Cheers!
