40 reasons why your relationship is not workingalwayswrite
Most often than not, most of us struggle with our relationships. Many of us have thought about quitting several times. It is a lovely thing to be in a relationship with the opposite sex, but a different ball of game if the relationship is not working.

Do not make assumptions. Do not always assume you already
know what will happen next. You think you know what you really
want, or what your partner need the most.
You think you know your partner well. You assume you know what
to do next, and how your partner will react. What if, you do not
actually know it well, which causes all subsequent
misunderstandings?
Often when couples fight, it will be more or less about money, sex, kids, in-laws, or housework. If you are not having any fights, then there could be something wrong with your relationship. If you want to be happy, always think about how to improve communication with your spouse. I am happily married for seven years, and below are the Do’s and Don’ts to be followed in any relationship.

1. 21 Relationship Rules for Couples
by Dr. Orville E. Easterly - Life Source, Inc. Roseville, CA

1. Out of all the people in the world you could be with today, who did you choose? Remember how
special your mate is.
2. No one is more invested in my success and happiness than my mate. Therefore, my mate is not
my enemy, even when my mate disagrees with me.
3. Seek to understand more than to be understood. It isn’t until you hear your mate’s heart cry that
you will begin to understand them.
4. Forgiveness is choosing not to remember the wrong or hurt against your mate ever again.
Forgiveness is a choice not a feeling or desire. Forgiveness is something you choose to do, no
matter how you feel or what you want.
5. Accept your mate as they are. Do not try to change them.
6. Cover each other’s weaknesses. Do not expose them.
7. Speak to your mate with the respect and courtesy that you give to the people you respect and
admire the most.
8. When your mate enters the room, stop what you are doing and greet your mate with a smile.
9. Make it your commitment to enable your mate to get the most out of life. This means that it is
your desire to say yes to the things your mate wants to do and to encourage your mate to do
them.
10. Refuse to think or to speak critical thoughts about your mate. The ways you are different add to
your life together, if you choose to accept these differences rather than to try to eliminate them.
11. Accept an invitation from your mate to do the things your mate enjoys doing. You don’t have to
like the activity to have a good time. You can enjoy your mate, enjoying you, doing with them the
things your mate enjoys doing. This is the attitude and the behavior that will enable you to be a
good date.
12. Think of the money your mate spends as a valuable investment in their success and happiness.
This applies as long as the expenditures do not undermine the financial security of the couple. We
value and enjoy different things. The things your mate spends money to obtain or to do have
value because they value them. The fact that you do not spend money for these things does not
make them valueless.
13. Think about the many ways your mate has enriched your life both present and past. Thank your
mate for these things by referring to them often. Remember that you have come a long way
together and overcome many difficult times. All the good things you now have you built together.
2. 14. Hold, hug, and kiss your mate several times daily. This kind of acknowledgement and touching is
nurturing to both of you. It takes little effort and time, but it adds enormously to the warmth and
quality of your life together.
15. Go to bed together and hold each other and talk for a while before you go to sleep. If one person
likes to go to bed earlier than the other, lie for a while beside the one who is early to bed then go
back to your late night projects.
16. Never assume that you know what your mate is thinking, feeling, or trying to say. Wait for your
mate to finish expressing their thought, and then ask your mate clarifying questions about what
they are thinking, feeling or trying to put into words. Do not interrupt each other.
17. Listen attentively when your mate is speaking. Listen with your eyes by making and holding eye
contact. Listen with your body by putting aside whatever you are reading or doing.
18. Give your mate time to be alone to do what they want to do.
19. Respect your mate’s privacy by leaving their mail unopened, personal drawers, closets, etc.,
unexplored or disturbed.
20. Ask your mate about their day in an attitude of interest rather than a suspicious inquiry. Listen
attentively while your mate talks about the things that filled their day.
21. Don’t take anything personally or yourself so seriously.
