If you truly want a healthy, rewarding relationship, the first thing you want to understand is that you being egocentric, or selfish, won’t nurture a trusting marriage partnership for very long.
In any relationship, not just in marriage, you can’t build a solid foundation if your first concern is usually focused upon yourself. If you suspect you’re guilty of this, here’s a simple, easy tip: Try spinning the ‘M’ in ‘ME’ about 180 degrees and change the ‘ME’ to ‘WE’.
If you want stronger and happier relationships, you’ll first have to start thinking in terms of ‘we’ rather than in terms of ‘me’.
Within your marriage relationship, you’ll have to consider your loved one’s feelings, and their needs, before you make decisions which effect the both of you.
The trick is to try to place yourself in their shoes (feelings) and think “How would I feel if he/she were to do (what you’re considering) this thing to me?”
For example, successful salespeople who are unusually expert relationship builders, call this technique “going around to their (prospects) side of the table”. When you remember to do this, you’ll start understanding why your partner sometimes acts angry, or is moody, for no reasons you can determine.
In other words, they could be upset because you forgot to take their wishes into consideration before you took action, or made a decision.
A common mistake many inexperienced couples make is to question whether they’re truly compatable because they’re fighting, or arguing, a lot. That’s not necessarily a correct assumption. Your relationship problems could be solved if you understood, and accepted, each other’s feelings and needs.
While this seems like basic commonsense, it’s still the number one reason for conflict within a marriage, in a relationship, or even within a friendship. You’re not going to save a marriage if you ignore your partner’s best interests.
Being in love is wonderful.
Being in a relationship though, involves work and attention to the moment and consideration to the big pictureof paying the mortgage and raising kids. If you want to enjoy the benefits of a happy, long-lasting relationship, you have to acknowledge that the magic of finding your soul mate, doesn’t mean you don’t have to make adjustments to the thinking and the feelings that worked when you were single.
The honest truth is, it’s hard to keep up and cope with one’s problems in order to build a long-lasting relationship.
You may have an opportunity to spy a loving couple and think “we’re not like them any longer. Look at them holding hands, kissing and hugging, while we’re fussing and fighting” over things that don’t even matter. Before you become too jealous, understand that the loving couple probably have also fought, and have had bad hours, days, weeks, months or even years.
However, they didn’t give up on their relationship.
Instead they fought to save their marriage, or relationship, and learned from their mistakes while manageing to cope with each other’s problems. All of which may have made their relationship the stronger for the pain and suffering they endured.
When you find a happy couple who are in a mutually satisfying relationship, invarably you’ll discover their love affair led into a period of adjustments which weren’t nearly as fun as falling in love was.
Perhaps you’re now at that adjustment stage of your relationship. If you are, try to concentrate on what your partner wants. (And it doesn’t matter if you agree, or understand, why. You can make up your mind to accept who your partner is.)
Putting your partner’s needs first does have limits…
Some people aren’t compatable. Passionate love affairs can, and do turn into repulsive relationships which can’t be saved. The mistake is giving up without getting help from a professionally trained marriage counselor who has proven experience in saving marriages and stopping divorces.
