Discover Why Relationships Fail
- Is not CBS: Cars, Buddies and Sports!
- It is CMS: Communications, Money and Sex!
It doesn’t matter how passionate you think your relationship is, conflict is inevitable. If you don’t know how to communicate then your relationship is destined for trouble! That’s why I created my Couples Meeting eBook to show you how to hold a productive discussion of those hot topics that can make our tempers flare!
In my Couples Meeting eBook I’ve summarized the painful lessons learned after my own long term relationship failed. In this eBook I’ll show you exactly how to discuss and resolve these hot topics instead of arguing about them. Let’s take a closer look at those 3 hottest topics in a relationship, that also happen to be the 3 biggest reasons why relationships fail!
Communications
The number one issue on the list of reasons why relationships fail has to be communications. It is surprising the number of couples who just don’t know how to talk to each other! My new eBook focuses on how to communicate effectively when there is discord in the relationship over a hot topic, but good communication skills should be happening on a day to day basis.
This could mean little things like having the confidence to raise a minor grievance before it builds into a huge resentment. For example, does it drive you crazy that your partner leaves wet towels on the bathroom floor? Instead of keeping quiet and seething on the inside, why not schedule a non-defensive Couples Meeting to let them know that it bothers you and ask them to try and break the habit. This is far better than letting it fester until you scream it at them in the heat of an argument! Other examples of good communication in daily life include taking the time to ask about your partner’s day and showing an interest in the information they choose to share. Don’t forget – it is good to talk!
Money
They say money is the root of all evil. When it comes to relationships, that may truly be the case. Money is one of the main reasons why couples fight. It could be that you are stressed over not having enough of it or it could be that you cannot agree on how best to spend it! One thing, in particular, I have noticed is that the more money that is spent on a wedding, the more likely the couple is to divorce! That’s just one of many reasons I advocate elopement over a traditional big wedding. Why start your relationship off with a huge debt and have regrets later? Isn’t it more sensible to use that money as a down payment on your first home?
Sex
Sex might still be a taboo subject, but it really is something we need to be more open about. It’s a big part of an intimate relationship and it’s important to talk about it. When a relationship is in trouble, sex often becomes something used as a weapon and that isn’t right. Sex or the passion in your relationship should be about sharing your bond as a couple. That’s why it is often the case that if the sex isn’t working the relationship follows suit. It all circles back to communications – use my simple Couples Meeting eBook strategies to talk openly with your partner about sex and figure out what is or isn’t working. Only then will you be able to resolve it!
