Marriage is a beautiful accomplishment in your life; in most cases, you get to spend the rest of your life with your special someone.

But we know marriage is not always easy, and relationships can be hard.

While you may know a couple (or you may be that couple) where everything appears dreamy on the outside, you never know what’s going on behind closed doors. 

Lack of Effective Communication

Effective communication is the key to a healthy relationship. couples do not let themselves be open, ask questions, and learn what their unique conflict management style is, they will struggle to get past the initial stages.

Communication is necessary to solve conflicts, understand the point of view of your loved one, and create a healthy relationship that works for both parties.

Differences in Expectations

Possibly, one of the most dangerous killers of relationships is unrealistic expectations.

After a while, fabulous first dates and courtship give way to routine and sometimes boredom. In addition, what’s worse, is many couples engage in lots of social comparisons, comparing stuff, partners, lifestyles — and that can set a high bar for your relationship.

Having your expectations aligned with your partner is a must.

You know that relationships are not always equal; sometimes, one person will have higher expectations than the other.

If you want your relationship to work, you must discuss what you expect from each other and agree.
