Relationship Coach and Instagram Creator John Dabach reveals that to maintain a healthy, long-lasting relationship, it is vital to tackle the problem at the root cause. He stated that problems like a lack of intimacy or growing apart over time are just the tip of the iceberg. He says the key to a successful relationship is having transparent and clear communication.
Having no emotional distance between a couple while talking about their feelings is essential to staying on the same page as your partner. Expectations on both sides and how to tackle those expectations in a mature and open-minded fashion need to be the go-to in a marriage. Communicating how you feel honestly, even if it could result in an argument, is a necessity.
Dabach reveals how couples are turned ignorant of their partners’ feelings, or are scared to communicate how they feel to their partners, and swallow their feelings. The real solution until they hit a breakpoint at which there is no turning back, and the marriage falls apart.
A marriage must not become transactional, but instead be two people honestly talking about their feelings and expectations. Managing and tackling these expectations is a process- a process that grows with the people in a marriage. Betrayals and fights, on the outside, may seem like the major reasons why marriages fail; however, these are just the results of unmet and miscommunicated expectations.
You should not treat keeping a healthy marriage as a task; instead, make it the way to keep your partner happy and satisfied in your relationship.
