    How does one maintain a good relationship? This is a question asked by so many people who seem to be in trouble maintaining the good times with their partners. It is impossible to have only the good times and that is a fact. But then and again, couples can do more to make the relationship grow instead of deteriorate.

    Essentially, the couple needs to communicate everything that they feel and the things that they think. Jealousy, for example, is a worm that will eat and nibble at the relationship. If this is not discussed, things may go awry as if it was a rolling sea of gasoline, which if ignited in just a single incident, could trigger the outburst of emotion. The couple should identify what causes the jealousy: third party, insecurity, lack of self-esteem, and many more. Once the root causes are identified, the couple can then move on to the next phase of identifying what actions need to be taken to resolve it. This can mean not going out with a guy or girl. This can mean going home on time and many more. Always remember that there has to be a compromise and that the solutions are what the couple agreed upon.

    Last thing is that the couple should listen. Both people cannot talk at the same time. It is understood that one may say something that the other feels it needs to give a reaction to right at that moment. Keep in mind that explanations can wait after the other is done talking.

    1. Communication is a very important thing in the relationship, this i learn the hardway, i use to keep my feelings to myself and not talk about it with my partner, i use to tell myself ohh it will past things will be better, but no things didn’t get better, all the things that i didn’t like file up and just exploded and we decided to end our five year relationship.
