HOW TO SAVE MY RELATIONSHIP

Let's face it, relationships are not easy - in order to have a successful marriage or partnership, you must realize that it doesn't just happen on its own! 

You must be willing to invest time and effort in order to create and maintain a healthy union  where you can share love, respect, and common interests. 

We are complex beings as it is - we each come come with "baggage" and our own unique story - it can be challenging for two different people, trying to coexist in one home.  

Let's get things straight:
for a long lasting partnership you don't have to be identical and he or she doesn't have to be perfect - hopefully you have realized by now, there is no such thing as a perfect mate.

Right from the very beginning, you need to know who you are, and in the same token, what is important to you - you have to be able to be honest with yourself and your partner - otherwise, sooner or later, trouble will arise. 

You must take time to really get to know who your partner is - the more information you gather, the more closeness you will be able to create. 

The more you know, the more you'll reduce the chances for misunderstanding and unnecessary pain. 

If you are experiencing "technical difficulties" in your marriage, do not wait - often times when too much time has lapsed, the relationship's foundation may be compromised.  

Reach out and seek for help BEFORE it's too LATE!

Do not wait until the love has gone out the window, and another relationship has failed.

For a relationship to truly work, it takes an incredible amount of love and dedication by both partners for success to be achieved, but it is very possible - you just need to want it badly enough!

You can do it - I can help!

HOW TO GET MY POINT ACROSS WITHOUT ARGUING

Have you ever found yourself in the midst of a heated argument with someone, not knowing how you have arrived to that moment, where you completely "lost your head"? 

Why do we use this expression - lose our head - because we actually lose touch of our senses! 

I don't know what happened to me, I lost my mind... Does that sound familiar??

Surely many of us have had this experience at some point in their lives. 

Often times when speaking with others, we lose track of our initial intention, because we're so desperately wanting to "win" or be "right". 

The problem is that these arguments come at a very high cost and can be avoided: our health, relationships, and love life, just to name a few, all suffer as a result. 

So what can we do about it? How can we avoid getting there?

Before you speak, think about what you are trying to accomplish - what is the outcome you are hoping to achieve. 

Are you trying to persuade someone to think as you do, so you can see eye to eye? So you can feel validated by them? What purpose do you have in mind? 

Focus your attention on getting your message across, so that the other person can better understand you, rather than trying to win the argument, then, you would never get to the "boiling point".

Be clear on what you are trying to communicate - understand your own intentions and motives - become mindful and sensitive to the feelings of others.  

When you truly understand others, you can make them happy by just being yourself - be authentically you.
