Have you been spending the last few weeks or months fighting with your partner? Arguments commonly occur, but if they keep happening without any resolution, your relationship is not healthy anymore. It may be possibly getting closer to the end. There are effective strategies that work to get your partnership back on track. In this week's episode, Colette Gallagher talks about the things you can do if there's a rough patch in your relationship. Part One of ‘What to Do If There’s a Rough Patch in Your Relationship’ This happens with pretty much every couple. You're dating and things that had been going well. And for the most part, you're working through challenges. Then slowly but surely, things start to go a little downhill, and then the fear begins to set in. If this is happening to you, you're not alone. It's common, and you can get through it, especially if you're with the right person. “When things get tough, don’t give up easily and remember why you fell in love with your partner.” – Colette Gallagher (03:11-03:20) You're reading this because you're probably going through a rough patch with your partner, and you're wondering if it's still worth fighting for. Focus on the things that you like about the relationship. There is no perfect relationship. There's always something that you'd like to change, maybe if you could. But if you focus on the negative things, you're going to find more of them. But if you switch and go back to why you found your partner attractive in the first place, what you liked about them and what's good about them, and you start focusing on those things, you're going to find that there's more of those to focus on. Focus on the good qualities of your partner, even if you're frustrated with them. right now. Maybe they're not behaving the way you would like them to act. Love is a choice, and it's up to you to make a daily commitment to choose to love your partner. Focusing on the positive qualities about them is one of the best ways to love your partner and being grateful for everything that they do for you. Part Two of ‘What to Do If There’s a Rough Patch in Your Relationship’ Another thing you want to do is start to notice the patterns that are happening. Identify what triggers a particular argument or what causes both of you to be upset. Sometimes, misunderstandings tend to get in the way of excellent communication. And maybe it's just that your partner says one thing when they mean something completely different. This time, try your best to analyze the situation. You want to go back to how you were in the beginning. Where you don't get easily offended, you don't overthink or overanalyze everything the other person does. Have fun together as much as possible, just like how it was during the dating stage. “Too many expectations lead to heartbreak.” – Colette Gallagher (11:26-11:38) If you want to save your relationship, consider asking questions, and communicate without taking things personally. If you're having a rough patch, let go of expectations because those are relationship killers. When you start to expect the person to do things for you. When you expect them to behave a certain way. When you expect them to react, that's when problems arise. Release all the anger and pain. This can be challenging if you got used to them doing things for you, or you got used to them being a certain way. Just let go of all expectations, whether they're good or bad, because there's always societal pressure for the other person to meet our demands.
