It is easy to fall in lust and love, however, many men and women just do not know how to keep a relationship thriving!

They will pick the same type of partner and make the same mistakes ending up hurt and alone time and again.

For those who are repeating the same dysfunctional patterns and have no idea how to make a relationship work these relationship help tips will help.

#1 Relationship Help Tip:  Listen!

The art of listening entails more than just hearing the words your partner is saying to you. To truly listen to your partner you must hear the underlying message. What do I mean by this? Most of the time people have a hard time expressing their inner most thoughts, feelings, and fears. They will wrap them up in stories or even rambling. The key to effective listening therefore is paying attention to the real message behind the words. On the other side of this coin is effective communicating. This is the ability to share with your partner your thoughts and feelings in a way so they can hear and understand your message.

This is such a huge problem in many relationships that a large section of the:

#2 Relationship Help Tip:  Realistic Expectations!

Many couples fall apart because of the fantasy they have in their mind about what a great partner and relationship is suppose to be like. Due to these unrealistic expectations, they experience feelings of disappointment and that “something is missing.”

This can and often leads to problems in the relationship that really never need to be there. In the first place. With a little shift in perception, along with a dose of what realistic expectations are, this problem can be easily addressed and fixed.

#3 Relationship Help Tip: Keep The Intimacy!

Physical and emotional intimacy goes hand-in-hand in a healthy and thriving relationship. However, many couples let the emotional intimacy go and are surprised when their sex life fades away.  Yes it is true that men and women are different in many ways, yet when it comes to the glue that holds a relationship together both genders want the same thing….intimacy.

Life, stress, children, and finances can all pull a couple away from keeping their intimacy alive and going strong. It really comes down to understanding how important this element is and making it a priority. Those couples who put this on the top of their relationship list are the ones that remain close by keeping their bond strong.
