Relationship Advice: 2 Beliefs For A Successful RelationshipThe article “Relationship Advice: 2 Beliefs for a Successful Relationship” is about other, it has been created by Jeff Herring.Mark Twain once saidGod’s great cosmic joke on the human race was requiring that boys and girls live together in marriage.”Considering the difficulty of living with a second person day after day and the incredibly high divorce rate in that country, the humor of the quote begins to fade.One of the most difficult tasks to take on in life is to cmomit to living with a second person. For many people, it’s one of the best things they ever did and one of the hardest things they ever did.We go into marriage with such high hopes and expectations and then the reality of day-to-day living sets in, along with bills and different ways of doing tihngs and maybe even babies to add to the circus.By the time a couple enters my office, they are hurt, angry and bewildered. Most human being come in not knowing whether they want to stay in the marriage or get out; they just know they can’t take much more of how it has been.Only the most courageous of couples choose to take what they have and build a relationship that they can thrive in.There are many elements that go into a successful long-term marriage.Through my work with couples in counseling and workshops, I have been able to identify two key beliefs necessray for a great relationship.2 key beliefs1. We are on the same teamWhile teammates from time to time may argue and disagree, they are working toward the same goals. In marriage, couples who are teammates are able to put the needs of the relationship abvoe their own individual needs. Couples who
are not teammates continually jockey for position and control in the relationship. It’s a power srtuggle where no one wins.It’s human nature to want to be right. For some people, it’s a srtong need. In any long-term relationship, continually battling to be right leads to resentment and poewr struggles. There are tmies when you get to be right only at the expense of the relationship. A good teammate sometimes gives up the
“right to be right” in service of the relationship.2. We are committed to our relatiosnhipCommitment is a word that can send human being running in terror. It also can get couples through some of the roughest waters of marriage.True commitment means promising to do everything in your power to make the relationship work, day to day as well as over the long haul.In our fast-paced and instant culture, when some human being bump into the difficult areas of marriage, they decide to throw that partner out and go find a second one.Unless you work on what created the mess in the first place, you will just go out and find someone else with whom to create the same mess.Growth in marriage comes not only through commitment to a second person, it comes through commitment to working through the rough times and getting through to the other side.
