If you have asked yourself or asked someone else the question, "Do I need relationship help?" Chances are more than likely the answer is YES!
Every human being is flawed. Outfitted with good characteristics and not so good characteristics. So, it is safe to say that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. But there is a difference between the
so-called perfect relationships and a healthy relationships.
We are all products of how we were constructed. If your parents had a functioning relationship, which includes respect for one another, effective listening along with proper communication skills, possibly you have witnessed a successful, loving relationship. On the other hand, if what you experienced included violence, constant arguments, disrespect and difficulties in communication then I would assume that you weren't given the tools needed for a healthy relationship. So, it's understandable to ask the question "Do I need relationship help?"
I commend you for asking such a question. This shows your willingness to have the best relationship that you can possibly have. Clearly, you have come to the realization of what a healthy relationship would look like and wants this healthy relationship for yourself. Self-improvement give you the leverage to be a true partner in your relationship. If you and your significant other are on the same page then nobody gets left behind.
Are you willing to do everything necessary to improve yourself and create the relationship you've been waiting for?
Here are a few places to look:
1. Self-help Books- Insightful resource that states opinions of the authors point-of-view of what works and what doesn't work. The great thing about self-help books is that you can refer back to them later when needed.
2. Counseling- Talking to someone about you feelings and what your facing can be very helpful. But, expect honest feedback and have an open-mind.
3. Your parents- You can ask general questions on what they did to make the relationship last and what they did that didn't work. You could go to another couple with history with each other and ask questions if they allow. (Don't be to invasive, it is a personal matter.)
I saved the best for last drum-roll please....
4.Your significant other - Your significant other is the piece to the puzzle! Who else would you talk to about your relationship? You would think this would be a no brainer but you would be surprised at how many people were allies turned into enemies for lack of communication. Communication is the key!
Are you still with me?
That's great!
