5 Mistakes Destroying Your Relationship
In the present day world, the societal expectations of a partner are higher than ever before. In order to achieve a happy and healthy relationship with your partner, you need to consider the following 5 common mistakes that you might be making in your relationship:
1. Not putting each other first: Not putting your significant other first could cause your relationship to end. A lot of this has to do with how you or your partner grew up. Take into account your partner’s way of receiving energy or giving energy. We are either always sending out energy or taking it in. A lot is left to interpretation. Communicate with your partner when something isn’t right and work through it together. It’s important to take time to understand each other’s ways of communicating and ways of perceiving love and attention. Once you know each other's way of communicating, this provides the energy that will reinforce to your partner that you are their number one priority. It does get easier as time goes by.
2. Not maintaining intimacy: A lack of intimacy is one of the most common factors in any relationship. Without intimacy, the relationship would be devoid of passion and affection. When there are too many distractions, maintaining the intimacy between you and your spouse needs to be a priority. Having planned a date night and giving sweet physical gestures is a way to stay connected. When you agree to make your intimacy a priority and really focus on it, it creates a stronger energetic bond between the two.
3. Misunderstanding about money: Not being open about finance can create lots of issues. This is one of the major reasons why relationships fail nowadays. Whatever you PAY attention to; you BUY that experience. It is important for couples to share their financial goals and discuss them regularly. A positive money attitude helps you maintain a positive energy towards the flow of abundance that extends to everything else in your relationship.
4. Expecting your partner to be your everything: This can lead to misunderstanding each other. We all have this mental ‘list’ of things we expect our partners to be: we expect him/her to be a great lover, best friend, emotional support system, and all round fix it all person. It’s obvious this is not realistic, but it doesn’t stop anyone from having this mental list of “must be”. That’s why it’s important to build a network of positive and healthy connections. It’s also important to keep healthy boundaries within those connections. In other words, don’t complain about what your spouse is or is not doing for you with others.
5. Ignoring your problems: The only way this can be resolved is if and when issues arise, other people are willing to tackle them together as a couple. When this doesn’t take place, it may leave your spouse with the feeling “they don’t matter” to you, and so overtime unaddressed issues are more likely to get worse. It’s best to address problems head-on so that any negative energy can be released.
