Home | News & Society | Relationships Sadly, all too often such advice is worthless and can have a damaging influence on your existing relationship. Although the majority of tips and advice are often given with the best intentions, it can be overwhelming to know what tips and advice are best to take on, and which are best to forget. We have put together for your convenience a list of the top 5 tips and tricks that we have found to have proven invaluable when trying to figure out relationship help and counseling. # Keeping an eye on time. Did you know that relationships suffer from not enough contact as well as too much contact between partners? The key of creating a healthy relationship is in finding the balance of time spent together. A relationship with too much couple focus is bound to leave either partner with little to no interests or room to grow outside the relationship and it suffocates. This can breed a relationship dependency, where either partner may rely to heavily on the other for more than mutual companionship. When either partner holds a focus in a world of emotional energy, any relationship can buckle under its strain. On the same hand relationships suffer from not enough contact, where all available energy and interest is obtained outside of the relationship leaving only drained remnants or forced commitment in place of real intimacy. Where it is very healthy for individuals to grow in their own right, there must be equal energy focused to the relationship, as two individuals feed into the unit. # Enjoy each other accept the things that make your partner different Interestingly we generally subconsciously seek out a partner whose personality traits are different enough to our own to add depth and compliment our own character. It is not so usual that a partner should exactly match our personality in every way. Yet many people develop a habit of expecting our partner to conform and become like us. The differences that initially attracted us to someone else become the focus of a lot of conflict. Learn to accept your partner for who they are and not for whom you expect them to be. # Treat your partner with the same respect as you would any of your friends It's ironic that we more often than not treat our partners with less respect and patience than we do our partners. Certainly this is not intended, and usually occurs without any knowledge of wrong doing what so ever. We would never dream of calling our girlfriends upset that she hasn't called you, or neglected to pay you attention. We would not ever mention to the guys that we were not happy with something they may have said or done. Most people involved in a relationship do forget that their partner is first and foremost their closest and most intimate friend. It's funny when a friend of ours gets too involved in a party and embarrasses themselves wearing the lamp shade, nine out of ten times we will probably even join them or just enjoy watching them enjoy themselves whilst making notes to remind them in the morning. It's different when it's your partner, we will get upset and angry with them instead. This is just a general example but most of us, now that it has been bought to our attention will begin to notice how we have far different expectations from our partners than we do our friends. # Fair and controlled arguments should always be in practice. Naturally, arguments are a part of any relationship. Keeping our arguments fair and in perspective is vital to our relationships. It is best not to indulge in accusations and calling each other names, as we may find it in ourselves to sincerely apologize for words uttered in anger, however we are unable to unsay or un-hear such words that cut us to the very core of our being by someone we love. Keep the argument on topic. Nothing will ever be resolved if you forgot what you were arguing in the first place. Not all arguments have a solution, sometimes it is better to agree to disagree and leave it as that. Keep on keeping on with an argument into the late hours when you are both tired simply inhibits our ability to argue clearly and fairly. Fair and effective arguing is learn able, as it is a skill excellent for use in a relationship crisis. # Seek the services of a relationship counselor. If your relationship is in trouble you should seek the services or a relationship coach or marriage guidance counselor. Primarily that you are making a commitment to the relationship suggests that the relationship has a very good chance to survive. Obviously, the best tip you will ever receive when seeking advice for a troubled relationship is to seek the services of a trained professional. Relationship counselors do not tell you how to live in your relationship; they provide you with professional and experienced knowledge and skills to help you help your relationship. There is far more to be discussed in the above general tips for relationship help, a trained professional relationship coach will help you to apply the appropriate advice for your relationship.
