Signs couples should look for in a relationship in trouble

Posted by Anna on 13 September 2009

All’s fair in love and war.  What does that saying really mean?  Are they saying there is a similarity between the two?Now it isn’t for sure that that is what they were trying to say, but there sure are a lot of things that are the same.

The similarities between the two I think are when that love becomes war.  It may still be love between the two but they are at each other like it is war.  I have seen this first hand doing couples therapy San Diego.A couple that once used to be loving now are constantly in battle.It is my main purpose is to be able to bring peace between the couple.And to bring back that once great love between the two.

So what are a few signs of trouble to look for?  One of the biggest warning signs is communication.  Or should I say lack of communication.For all relationships, being able to communicate is critical.Since it is so important, if in your relationship you start to see that you are not being able to communicate it is a sign.it is a sign trying to let you know trouble is starting.  Whether I am doing couples counseling or  marriage counseling in San Diego I see it all the time.Because in essence if the couple is not able to communicate, any little problem can turn into a big problem.  Proper communication helps avoid that.

So as a family counselor San Diego one of the biggest things I do is try to teach the couple how to communicate.  One of the biggest keys to communication is listening.Most people when they think of communicating think it is about talking.But truthfully if you are unable to listen very well, you won’t really be able to understand each other.So by assisting the couple to learn how to listen better, it will greatly improve their communications.

By being able to spot this sign, a couple will be able to better know that trouble may be starting.Now if the couple can spot this problem early in their relationship, they might be able to avoid some serious problems. From my experience the best way to solve problems in a relationship is to avoid them.But if you don’t spot that sign early, the prime way to solve the problem is to learn how to communicate.  Sounds simple but it will have a major affect.
