Rainer Maria Rilke

Let's first take a look at the first pillar in the relationship wheel of life - Communication!

Let us say in advance: communication is not a one-way street. It must be equally open on both sides in a relationship. Is a open communication the relationship is built on a solid foundation.

If both sides fail to ensure open communication, the relationship is in danger. Because unclear communication leads to disagreements. Disagreements lead to arguments. Disagreements lead to frustration. And frustration that builds up over months, in many cases to a painful Separation.

However, a painful separation can be avoided if open communication is the foundation of the relationship. This is the be-all and end-all for Clarity. Because we often talk past each other in a relationship.

So what should be avoided? Here are several negative qualities to avoid in communication. These include passivity, detachment, accusations, ignorance, exclusion and all other characteristics that stand in the way of open communication.

The most important thing in this context is honesty. How exactly you can combine honesty with communication, we would like to tell you in the next point.

You're making mistakes. Your partner makes mistakes. Every human being makes mistakes. Because nobody is perfect. That is perfectly normal and is part of our nature.

Surely you also have negative qualities that bother your partner. It is up to you to decide how to deal with these negative qualities.

Do you talk to your partner about it? Do you swallow your frustration? Or do you constantly blame your partner? Do these accusations turn into arguments that put you both at a distance from each other?

When there are disagreements in a partnership, the best way is to be honest with each other. Address problems and look for solutions to find ways to strengthen the partnership.

Albert Camus

A good Relationship means going through life together. At the same time, it doesn't mean that you can't have your own life. Quite the opposite.

For healthy relationship important to have their own hobbies, interests and circle of friends. After all, this independence gives you the freedom to devote yourself to topics that your partner does not share.

And that is perfectly fine. However, men and women often make the big mistake to fully subordinate themselves. Put their own interests behind, so as not to hurt the partner.

Because all of us have phases in which we need a little tailwind, support or a shoulder to lean on. This applies equally to men and women.

So don't let your partner down when things are going badly for them. If you stick together, you will find solutions that will help you get through life together and overcome challenges.
