The essential difference between happy and unhappy couples

Every long-term couple knows that having a relationship is not always fun. It means a lot of work to you. Both partners must be ready to invest in love. You have to learn to compromise and appreciate the partner. Respect, understanding, affection ... The list of positive relationship traits is long.

Whether one can hold on to luck, but above all depends on one thing: Whether you discuss problems together. When a problem crops up or a bad thing happens, happy couples talk about it. Quite simply, to find out: What's going on in the other? Why is he behaving now how he behaves? How can I help him?

Disregard is the most common reason for separation

The US psychologist John Gottman found out in his research: Most partnerships fail because of disrespect. The couples do not talk to each other, do not really care about each other's feelings and what is going on in their lives. In unhappy relationships, the partners are having problems with themselves - whether they concern the partnership or other areas of life. Often they do not share, so as not to burden the other. Fatal - because that can only hurt the relationship.

In order to prevent arguments and misunderstandings, it is therefore important to open oneself to his partner and reveal his true feelings to him. Only then can you be really strong as a couple and master every hurdle together.
