A loving relationship is full of support, enthusiasm, and pleasure. It can be manifested in the family or to somebody you are intimately in love with. Hence, we would like to experience such a relationship to last until death. We exert so much effort to nurture and to make it perfect if possible.

Whether we like it or not, it can also be a source of sadness and distress when it fails to address the basic elements for a good relationship. This is the reality of what they call relationship problems. To have a relationship problem does not necessarily follow that the relationship we started will automatically doom to failure. That will not be the case to happen. There is still a chance to fix it.

However, we will be required to make some extra effort to keep things intact. Many couples take things for granted. They do not bother with their relationship problems, still with great hope that the issues will just disappear by themselves. They reconcile with each other but never bother to examine what had occurred or why it happened.

Given this indifference, a majority of the couples are going through series of problems. There are some problems which are not too difficult to solve compared to others. And there is a need really to ask for the professional help from a counselor. Some people believe that professional guidance helps them in recovering their relationship. Furthermore, it enabled them to discover different ways to work out their problems and resolve that the misunderstandings will not happen again in the future. Therefore, couples must immediately deal with their problems to get right back on track, and continually improve the relationship. Always seek some ways of getting back and relight the fading intimacy of love.

Relationship problems will always be part of our human existence. What do you think are the causes of such problems? Being too close to somebody can give us moral support, consolation, and joy, but it could also be a source of grief, disappointment, and misery. Secondly, we have ups and downs of being attracted. Sometimes, we do not feel to approach the person. We want to be alone. There are times that we are passive and not eager to see our beloved. And this can strain the relationship.
Sad to say, we have minimal control along this line of the relationship. Thirdly, we have the demands from our work and financial stability. We can not do away from their concrete pressures because these are the sources of our life as human beings. They provide the necessities of life. Lastly is the differences in our goals and our expectations from each other to sustain the relationship. I suppose these are the areas of concern that we should immediately address to make some changes for the satisfaction of the relationship. It will eventually lead us to grow together.


What are the most common problems of a relationship? We have the following problems: communication is not open, poor skill in problem-solving, lack of support from one’s companion, and no quality time for each other.
