10 Tips to Prevent a Break-up in a Relationship

It is essential to keep a healthy and lasting relationship with your partner. Small fights and misunderstandings are common to any couple, but if issues are not properly addressed and solved, it could lead to serious conflict and, worse, break up. The success of any relationship depends on the two individuals involved. Below are some ways and tips on how to prevent a break up in your relationship with special someone.

1. Support your partner

Support your partner by giving them the time, attention or things that they need. You’ll know his/her needs if you’ll pay attention and find some clues. If you are not sure what your partner wants, you can ask them right away.

2. Communicate

It is essential to communicate. If you think that your communication with your partner and expression of your feelings mostly leads to an argument, then try to write down your emotions. Read what you’ve written. Check the validity and eliminate those petty problems. Review if you have proofs and sources and know the reason behind that feeling.

Like for example, jealousy. Are you jealous because your partner is cheating on you? Or because someone cheated on you in your past relationship? Is your present partner trying his best to make you feel secure? Try to reflect so you’ll know where that feeling of jealousy comes from and to know where to start on fixing that problem.

5. Don’t make accusations

When problems arise, try to approach your partner calmly and avoid being defensive. Avoid argument by telling him/ her the issue and try not to be accusing.

It is also the best time to say that you want to make your relationship work. And give some advice or suggestion, for both of you, on how to make it better. Just make sure that you know the main problem.
