10 Days of Practice: Love

Build a better relationship with love

marriage counseling dubai

As social beings, we are in pursuit of connection and love. And, we need people who give us comfort and security. Equally, we want to desire and be desired.

Our need for a loving relationship becomes apparent when we think about the future.

Single individuals will often say that planning the future and dreaming about it is difficult when there is no one to share it with. They may make plans but those plans do not become dreams that energize and inspire them. If a loving relationship is such a fundamental need, why is it so difficult to find the “right” person?

And when we do, why is it that that relationship can be such hard work? Can we ever win and find happiness in our love life? Fortunately, we know a lot about what makes a relationship work.

End a bad relationship sooner rather than later. If you recognize that your new relationship is not working, chances are it will not suddenly change for the better.You can do a lot to improve your love relationship. However, if you are in a new relationship where you have not had that wonderful “honeymoon” period when everything is near to perfect, this may not be the relationship for you.

Every new relationship should have a good beginning. Those blissfully happy first few months together will help you weather the challenges that life will bring. Without a honeymoon period, where will you get your hope and strength to get through tough times?

What if I have no choice but to stay?

Have you stayed in a committed relationship that is a continuous struggle? What if you find yourself married and the relationship is not working but divorce is not an option? You have made a commitment and you are willing to stand behind the choice you made. Your commitment is commendable. Just remember, it is easier to address difficulties before they become bigger. If you allow things to deteriorate, pain, loneliness, anger and resentment will build. The sooner you act the better!

You may not get the marriage you have dreamt of but you may get a better marriage than you have now. However, we do not believe in endless suffering and misery and if you need help to leave the relationship even if you cannot imagine it, there is help and hope. In this case, you may need to do some individual work to find a way forward.

You can improve your committed relationship

If you are in a committed relationship but find yourself in a “rut,” the good news is there is a lot you can do to get yourself out of that “rut.” Thanks to many researchers and psychologists around the world we know what makes relationships work. You can implement research-based skills and techniques. Sometimes, they last a mere six seconds but do wonders to your relationship.
