Why Some Relationships Prosper And Some Fail?

There are a number of elements that play a role in making a lasting and mutually satisfying relationship. Many assert that it is all about keeping a proper balance of chemistry and compatibility. While this contention is true, some have the wrong notion that compatibility simply means having the same likes and dislikes. The truth is, compatibility is more about being complementary than it is being alike. And to achieve such complementariness, one has to understand how to compromise, blending different attributes together to bring in a harmonious relationship that is mutually satisfying. Compromise should not be misconstrued as having to submit or surrender to the wishes of the other all the time; instead it is meeting halfway and not forgetting to respect each partner's individuality. Mutual respect for each other entails understanding who the other is and at the same time not challenging the other person’s boundaries.

To have a happy and healthy relationship, one needs to learn the art of encouragement as well. You can encourage your partner in a number of ways, from providing a shoulder and ear when the other needs it, being faithful, demonstrating genuine interest and showing a positive attitude. Encouraging also entails praising the partner more than criticizing him/her. Another factor to a great relationship is the willingness to share. It can involve physical sharing of oneself to satisfy each other’s physical, emotional, and intellectual needs or sharing quality time with each other, as well as working together so that neither is overloaded with responsibilities.
What causes relationships to break down?

Poor communication is an oft-mentioned reason as to why couples part ways. Many individuals have unreasonable expectations that their mates should be sensitive enough to know what they are thinking about, their desires and the real cause of certain problems without needing to tell the other directly. These irrational individuals forget that their partners, contrary to their beliefs, do not have extra sensory perception. Due to this failed expectations, petty arguments seem like a serious problem, and couples part way for irreconcilable differences.

Loss of trust is also another reason why people leave a relationship. It's only natural to feel slightly jealous if someone is hitting on your partner; however that could be quickly taken care of by reassuring your partner. It becomes unhealthy when jealousy becomes inappropriate and nearing paranoia. Jealousy is an extremely powerful emotion, and when you are in a jealous rage, your judgment is clouded and you make bad relationship decisions.

Secrecy can also be damaging to a relationship because that awareness of being dishonest creates a distance between you and your partner. Then again, this should not be misconstrued as sharing every single feeling or deed. Exercise prudence when doing so – You don't need to tell your girlfriend that the dentist who attended to him was hot.

Pointers on How To Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back

If you think that the partner you parted ways with a few months back is really the person you'd want to spend the rest of your life with, here are some ideas on how to get your ex back.

First, give her some time and space. In the meantime, try to figure out why one or both of you left the relationship. Meanwhile, attempt to understand why you broke up in the first place. When you’ve got this figured out, talk to her, this is the only way to get her back. Just keep in mind to converse with her without getting angry or demeaning, and actively listen to her when she airs out her side. Appear kempt, relaxed and composed and arrive at your where you are supposed to meet on time. Your ex-girlfriend would be leery in giving you a second chance if you appear too clingy or overly eager. If she does agree to reunite with you, do refrain from making the same errors again, and endeavor to be more expressive of your feelings.
