SOLID AS A ROCK All relationships have their up and downs, but there are ways to keep the connection strong, no matter what. Emotions are key to the way we communicate or fail to communicate with our partners. Often, instead of listening we jump to conclusions or allow anger to get in the way of reason. We may feel hurt and instead of expressing how we feel we blame out hurl insults at our partners or we clam up and so starts the dreaded I m not talking to you phase. These responses are not productive but because they are based on emotions we may believe we re justified in the way we feel behave and ultimately treat our partners. If these patterns of conflict occur repeatedly its time to reassess your relationship. 1. Focus on the good 2. Avoid competition 3. Have fun together 4. Share the load 5. Examine your values Concluded: A lasting, loving and healthy relationship is based on being considerate and listening to one another and feeling safe and significant. We should try bto put ourselves in our partners shoes from time to time, practise compassion where necessary, deal with each conflict as it arises in our partners faces. Avoid starting sentences with You always........ or You never......and if criticism is necessary be constructive. This does mean that the reason m saying this is that m perfect or something or maybe stuffs and stuffs NO.....just the passion that I have to share necessary information with my Namibian Nation. #copiedtextbyWendyMaritz
