How to Avoid Relationship Breakdown | Couples Therapy

Relationships, like cars, require regular maintenance in order to keep running smoothly and to avoid breakdowns.

We must commit to addressing problems as they arise. This is in fact part of good relationship maintenance. If our partner starts making a noise, or we do for that matter, usually in the form of some kind of unhappiness or dissatisfaction, we must take it seriously. We must be interested in what they or we are experiencing. We must set aside time to address the issue and commit to finding a solution.

Here are 5 ideas to help you avoid relationship breakdown:

1. Accept that problems are part of relationships and cannot be avoided.
2. Take regular time and space to explore problems together.
3. Learn to talk openly about difficult things without losing your composure.
4. Work steadfastly on the issues you have identified so that things truly improve.
5. Develop a sense of faith and optimism regarding your ability to move through difficulties as a couple.
