It seems long term relationships are far and few between.
During the course of a committed relationship, marriage or otherwise, there will be challenges. The newness of a relationship only lasts so long and then wears off. The excitement begins to settle, and then the true “getting to know each other” actually begins. We become more comfortable in the relationship and our deeper personality traits now surface. This can be unsettling in some cases, and we can let little insignificant or large surprising traits irritate us.
We learn to adapt and accept our differences, or we can challenge and stress over these differences to the point that they may be deal breakers.
Some individuals will learn to adapt and are willing to make changes to themselves, while others may refuse to make any changes as they feel they should not have to change for someone else.
In relationships, we cannot expect someone to change to suit us. We can only make changes ourselves, either in character, circumstance or attitude.
This can be where some relationships crumble while others gain momentum. At this point, due to acceptance some relationships actually become stronger as love, hard work and acceptance are the backbone of a relationship. There will always be times when the relationship experiences difficulties. The outside world influences everything it touches but if we recognize that the source of irritation is from outside the relationship, the bond can deepen.
For those individuals currently going through one of these phases, recognize that in most cases, a slight change of attitude can make a world of difference. Acceptance, compassion and support for one another is essential. Most irritants are temporary. Remind yourself to review the circumstances and look at the influence of the events around you. Illness, family, world situations, finances, worry, fear, anxiety and attitude must be taken into consideration. These can have profound consequences on relationships.
After reviewing outside circumstances, you likely will come to realize that your relationship is good but other parts of life may need some adjustments.
For those that are experiencing difficulties in their relationship and have been for some time, be sure to have clear communication. Seek counselling as a professional can offer advice that you may not have thought about.
Long term relationships take hard work, perseverance, love and compassion. Do not let the stress of outside influences affect your relationships. Do the work needed. Your well-being and the well-being of your relationship is worth it!
