What do you do if your relationship is facing challenges and you need to find solutions?

From my experience, choosing the right moment is crucial. Before addressing a tough issue in a relationship, it’s important to gauge the other person’s mood. Once you sense a calm atmosphere, it’s time to engage in conversation. Speak with kindness and listen actively, ensuring a space where both sides can be heard and understood.

Initiate Open Dialogue: Begin by setting aside uninterrupted time to discuss the challenges you're facing. It's essential to communicate openly, honestly, and without judgment. Express Feelings and Needs: Use "I" statements to express your feelings and needs without blaming the other person. For example, "I feel stressed when we don't spend quality time together" instead of "You never spend time with me." Understand Each Other's Perspective: Try to understand where the other person is coming from. Acknowledging each other's feelings and perspectives can help in identifying the underlying issues.

Set Goals and Action Plans: Once the issues are laid out, work together to set realistic goals and steps to address them. This could include dedicating more quality time to each other, working on individual issues that affect the relationship, or developing better communication strategies. Practice Empathy and Patience: Change takes time, and progress may be gradual. Practicing empathy and patience with each other throughout the process is crucial.

Understand the others, put yourself in their shoes, is one of the most under-estimated skill in the world. I try to cultivate it every day, what would I do instead of him ? What would I choose if I was him…ask yourself these questions, your life will be easier.

Couples Therapy: A mental health professional specializing in couples therapy can provide a neutral ground for both partners to express their feelings and work through their issues in a structured manner.

One thing I recently realised is in a relationship the other person is never hurting you intentionally, we feel that the person is giving us a hard time, but the deeper we go inside and try to see it with the truth frame, the things just happened the way it was bound to happen. So the best way to cope with this is to devote time and energy for personal growth and developing inner strength to ensure cordial relationships and happier you ??

When facing challenges in relationships, I have found it very useful to implement the element "time". The participants in the relationship take their time to think, to feel what challenges the relationship, and to think about what really matters on their own. Taking time helps overcome strong emotions, that would spoil communication. Taking time helps moderate one's inner dialog. Taking time helps re-elaborate one's thoughts to choose benevolent, clear communication with balanced emotions and feelings.
