Does life exist without problems? If it does, how can we appreciate the nicer things in life, the calm after a storm, a bright day after a dark night?
It’s the same with relationships as well. There is no relationship without problems; the issues might differ, the intensity might vary, but the discord is there. Though no two relationships are similar, the problems most couples face can be broadly categorized as below.
* CommunicationLack of communication can be the cause of several relationship problems. You assume your partner knows about it, you think it is not necessary for your partner to know or you simply don’t pay attention to what your partner is saying because you are watching television, checking your mobile, or working on your laptop.If not nipped in the bud, communication gap has the ability to ruin relationships.
* Lack of trustIf trust is missing in a relationship, it wobbles. Do not let mistrust seep into your relationship. Sort it out with your partner.
* FinancesMoney may not make a relationship but it has the potential to break one. If you don’t have a steady income to run your house and pay your bills, then problems are inevitable.
* Power struggleThis is a simple example of a daily power struggle. But the real power struggle can be deeper than this when the feeling of one-upmanship crops up between the couple.
* A dull sex lifeWhen sex takes a backseat, your relationship suffers. Loss of libido, busy schedules, or mere fatigue contributes to poor sex life, which, in turn, affects your relationship.
