Every relationship has its ups and downs but giving up is never the solution. It takes effort, dedication, and the desire to adapt and evolve alongside your partner without losing sight of the wider picture. There are actions you can take to build a healthy relationship, whether you’re just starting or have been together for years.
Communication is the key to every relationship and lack of it can lead to misunderstandings and bitterness towards your partner. Thinking about what things can be instead of making an effort to confront your partner will only add to your trouble. Overthinking rather than confronting can bring toxicity to a relationship. Relationships can be difficult but focusing on finding a solution rather than clinging to the problems can help to improve things and deepen the bond.
Author and relationship expert, Nedra Glover Tawwab has shared a post on her Instagram in which she talked about how one can voice their needs to their partner.
Ways to express your feelings:
“I need you to plan and prepare dinner today.”
“I am washing the laundry; I need you to fold two loads.”
“We argue a lot about money. Perhaps, we need to talk to a professional to get some perspective on what’s best.”
“Please take the kids to another area while I prepare dinner.”
“It’s been a busy week for me, and I need some time to myself Friday evening.”
“I feel most comfortable when we have our own space. I’d like us to get a hotel when we visit family.”
“It doesn’t seem like either of us has time to clean the house. We need to consider looking for a housekeeper.”
“I need a night away to rest and reset.”
The therapist added that one can prevent resentment and save relationships by advocating their needs.
