‘K, fine’ Is relationship counselling exactly what you guys need RN?

by

We all remember how it felt when we met our partners, the passion was euphoric. Hearts and pulses racing, the nerves when they would walk into a room, and the butterflies in our stomachs kept us on a constant high.

In the beginning, you were inseparable, you couldn’t get enough of each other. But endless bickering has replaced late nights, endless texts, lustful glances, dinners and movies.

So, when all that subsides, does it mean the relationship is dead, or is there something deeper going on?

Most individuals enter into a relationship with some form of baggage, personal needs, hopes, and desires meaning that couples won’t always be on the same page, and arguments will flare up.

So, if you find yourselves constantly arguing,counselling may help to restore some equilibrium.

Here is what to do when you want to revive your relationship:

1. Speak to a professional

A qualified counsellor is trained to teach you how to communicate effectively, which can only help, right? Many people feel safer sharing their feelings with their partner in the presence of a mediator, as it gives the opportunity to talk honestly and openly.

Often, we are so consumed by what is bothering us, we forget to listen, or hear the other person.

2. Talking and listening

Counselling will help, but try to listen, talk, and stay calm with your other half. Good communication is so important in a relationship, and will help to keep it strong, even when things get tough.

3. Have some fun together

Being cooped up in the house all the time is no fun at all. Yes, Netflix is brilliant, but you can’t spend your life in front of the TV. If you’re stuck in the house a lot, and are constantly at each other’s throats, chances are you’re both suffering from cabin fever.

The daily grind can be stressful, so why not get out of the house? Go on a date, and remember what it was like when you first fell in love.

Feel the stress melt away, rekindle the romance, and sparks will fly!
