RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGE A relationship can be the most wonderful thing in the world. It can start magically but it requires a significant investment of time and energy to keep it vibrant. Here are 12 major challenges for you to address. 1. COMMUNICATION Many couples drift apart because they are not communicating well with each other, they expect their partner to read their mind and they get locked into battles over blame about ‘stuff’. Resentment can then start to grow. Find time and space to talk about how you are both feeling. Maybe once a week set aside an hour to share what are three things that have gone well in the relationship in the last week and one thing that needs to be dealt with. Do this from the perspective of ‘I feel’. 2. CONNECTION The Visceral connection that may have been there when you first got together may fade quickly; the passion, hours making love, kisses, gifts, hours talking may get swamped by dull routine. You may look back at a forgotten time and look forward with a sense of ‘is this all it is’. Create moments of intimacy where you connect, and it is as if the world stops and nothing else matters.It can just be a few seconds;a real hug or meaningful kiss on leaving or returning from work. Or it can be just time where you are together, free from distractions and just be with each other.
