Relationship Mistakes.
Unhappiness in relationships is, unfortunately, an all-too common occurrence. Find out the 6 relationship mistakes couples make in their marriages and long-term partnerships. Plus, how to avoid them for a more harmonious connection.
It’s a fact unhappy couples are not only those that break up!
We all know of couples who stay together for the sake of the kids, or financial security…unhappy couples are all around us.
Why are so many couples unhappy in their relationship?
Over 29 years I have helped more than 3,800 couples work through issues in their relationships. I have done extensive case study research and have what I believe are six (6) key behaviours that damage maintaining happiness and harmony in an interpersonal relationship, such as a marriage or other long-term commitment between couples.
Couples in Crisis: The 6 Relationship Mistakes most unhappy couples make
- I discovered that there are SIX repetitive behaviors – what I call ‘relationship mistakes‘ – among all couples that feel that they are unhappy.
- These repetitive behaviours are common to virtually every couple who come to see me.
- Today I’m going to share some results that I got from my 29 years experience coaching & consulting couples.
Learn now which are the six mistakes all the unhappy couples make.
We can better describe these behaviours as MISTAKES because they are mistakes, we can all learn from our mistakes and NOT repeat them again. All couples do the same thing….they alienate one partner or spouse from the other which I’m sure you’ll agree is NOT what you set out to do when you first got together….and is mostly NOT what you want to do at anytime knowingly…….alienation harms closeness and connection, weakens the bond of trust and consideration….who wants that to happen to their relationship…who wants to co-exist like that?
I have noticed that there are 6 mistakes that create significant unhappiness in a relationship. These marriage mistakes or relationship behaviours cause one partner to become alienated from the other one. I put them down in a FREE Couples Coaching Video because I want to help you bring more harmony in your relationship and be happy!
These 6 mistakes create significant unhappiness – in particular they cause one partner to become alienated from the other one. Any TWO mistakes out of the overall SIX are sufficient to bring a relationship to breaking point.
