A Few Reasons Why Relationships Fail

First of all, so many people have the misconception that love alone makes a relationship work. If that was true, we’d have an overflow of happy couples. Divorce rates would be far lower, and domestic violence would almost disappear. As we all know none of these things have happened. Divorce rates are on the rise and we all see or hear of domestic violence.

The majority of those entering into a relationship have preconceived thoughts of what the relationship is going to be like as for what they are going to give and take. Most partners want to give fifty/fifty not considering if one comes up short the relationship already below one hundred. So they start out set up for failure. If they both gave one hundred percent of themself even if/when one came up short, the relationship would still be far above one hundred.

Self-righteousness is definitely a plus to failure. If you can always see and point out your partners mistakes and other imperfections, there’s a disaster just waiting to happen. None of us are perfect and we need not to expect our partners to be. Even we see something in our partner that could use some improvement, we must look at ourselves also. There just may be some habits or ways that our partner dislikes but never really said anything because they love you for who you are. If we can’t give a little then we can’t expect to receive a little either. Conversation and apologies help keep a relationship strong. If we refuse to admit when we are wrong, eventually there will be hidden anger in the relationship. So conversation begins to diminish. So there’s no longer room for understanding, and affection walks out the door. The little things just to say I love you are gone, and before you know so is the relationship.
