We think when we meet someone and fall in love that the love should be enough to just heal any problem or issue in our relationships... Right?

However as we go along, we see that Relationships can be and often are very complicated due to the different personalities, backgrounds and relationship experience of the two people involved.

The thing is, we don't receive much training for relationships in our younger years or in school, and often the only experience we did receive is witnessing our caregivers interact as our role models. And so what we witnessed as a child becomes what we learn, know and what is familiar to us. Then what we do is... either do exactly what we have seen and are familiar with, OR we try to do the opposite without any real training of what is healthy and what will actually work with our partner and our unique relationship.

It is understandable that the majority of people who are in relationships have very unhealthy ways of relating. Communication is a tricky concept, and often men and women speak and listen and comprehend differently, however we expect each other to do the same things and get frustrated when we both don't do what each other wants. Women complain men don't listen or open up and share their feelings or anything!! AND Men complain women talk a lot and are always nagging them.

SO What should you do? I recommend getting some coaching early so your relationship doesn't get to be a bigger problem than it is. You wouldn't wait weeks and weeks OR EVEN months and years to fix a problem with your health or car, would you?
