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!
