Tips: 8 Mistakes To Avoid In Your Relationships

While building your relationship with your spouse, there are some mistakes that you must avoid which includes:

1. Comparison: comparing your partner with other especially your ex will not help your relationship and this single action can ruin your relationship. No matter how your good or bad your

partner is don't compare him/her to anyone, learn to accept your partner.

2. Pressing your phone while your partner is talking to you: this may sound funny but yes, pressing your phone while your partner is discussing important matters with you is trying to

ridicule the person and it's a sign of disrespect and  unseriousness in that relationship. Phone is a major cause of distraction in a relationship, if not properly handled it can always cause

disagreement.

3. Forgetting to appreciate: another mistake that can ruin a relationship is failing to appreciate your partner's effort, no matter how little the effort, saying thank you can go a long way in

helping your relationship. When your partner gets you a gift learn to say thank you and also appreciate your partner for the unique things you see in them. Failure to appreciate makes your

partner feel he/she has done nothing to you.

4. Disrespecting your partner: many people often say they can't respect when they are not married, if you can't respect the man/ woman before you get married, you will find it difficult to do

so when you are married, respect if very important in a relationship.

5.  Assumptions: whenever there is any issue that need discussion or you are discussing important things, if you don't understand things ask questions for clarity don't assume,

assumption is a major enemy to your relationship.

6.  Waiting for apology: when anything goes wrong and you are always waiting for your partner to apologize first, it can ruin your relationship when your partner is often the first to

apologize, one day he/she can get tired of doing so, learn to apologize whenever anything goes wrong.

7. Long time of no communication: there is the saying that communication strengthens a relationship, a major mistake is staying more than one day without speaking with your partner,

even if you are far away from each other, you must make sure you keep the communication strong.

8. Keeping secrets: secret keeping is one of the major things that can destroy your relationship, when you refuse to tell your partner important things about yourself, your past and what

you've been trying through in time past and he/she gets to know from outside, it can ruin that relationship.
