Finding Relationship Help



It’s easy to react in anger and elevate the discussion to the status of argument when feelings are running hot. It’s important to follow some ground rules for communication: Don’t talk over each other, no name-calling and don’t put each other down.

Recalling past grievances is a common mistake when communicating, but it’s essential to resist lingering resentments and vendettas. You must decide that you won’t hold on to the anger any longer, in order to move forward.


Making the Connection

Soon after making the commitment to improve a relationship, you may encounter roadblocks. “There are certain facts of life that we cannot change, unavoidable ‘givens’ of human life and of relationships, especially,” says David Richo, author of The Five Things We Cannot Change and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them. One of these five constants is that things do not always go according to plan.

You may be fully committed to change, but when the other person refuses to cooperate or compromise, the process becomes much more difficult. Experts concede that trying to improve a relationship with a resistant person is a difficult feat. “Many people only want to change if their partner changes, as well. That way it becomes bartering,” explains Sumner. “They are not prepared to change if their partner does not want to change first. It then becomes the proverbial chicken-and-egg situation.”

If you encounter resistance, you may feel frustration because your expectations are not being met. The expectation of immediate change is unrealistic. However, you may be surprised to find that even your most stubborn adversaries are willing to meet you in the middle.

Practice Makes Perfect

Everyone slips up. You may feel goofy fawning over your spouse. You may roll your eyes behind your boss’ back. You may snipe at your mother for prying into your love life. But when it comes to opening the lines of communication, a steadfast earnestness pays off.

Indeed, new methods of communication may seem odd at first, but they work over time. It may take more than 30 days to repair your relationship, but laying a stable foundation makes for future success.

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2348105150446
you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS’

Good new my bf is back.. I was having serious relationship problems with my bf and it had has gotten to a point of him moving out to his friend’s apartment. everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advises that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been dating for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to Dr happy by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood bf; this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all he asked and a day after the spell my bf called me and rushed back home, things just changed between us emotionally. He has a job and stopped drinking and keeping irrelevant friends. It’s a miracle I never believed was possible because I had lost all hope until I found Dr happy. So that’s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. Please my advise to every one looking for relationship help, marriage help, get and fix your broken home, is to contact Dr happy the real Africa spell caster now on..............

I agree with MaryMary.
Each person can recognize, if they wish to, areas they can improve within themselves -- especially in communication, trust, optimism & consideration.
The only person you can change is you, so be good to yourself.
