Making Things Work With Professional Relationship Advice

By Christine Sanders


Human beings are social animals. They live in communities, they form platonic attachments to each other. Sometimes, they even form romantic attachments to one another. People fall in love out of time. But love has its highs and lows. When its high, it is a drug like no other. When its low, there is professional relationship advice to help with the problem.

Humans become intimate with one another. Some crave intimacy. Other people just to want to have sex. But then there are others who want the long haul stuff, the wedding, the honeymoon, the marriage, the kids. Of course, are biologically programmed to want kids because it helps continue the existence of the species as a whole.

But really should be careful what they wish for. Yes, children are a gift and hearing their cries for the first time after they enter the world is a beautiful, special moment. But children are also little monsters with unlimited amounts of energy who run, kick, and scream everywhere because they do not possess the necessary skills to communicate their thoughts eloquently. Keeping one alive requires a substantial investment of time and energy, and also money. As such, it can be easy to partners to lose sight of each other during the whole process of starting, and then raising, a family.

However, it is not just kids that can drive two people apart, sometimes because they are people, fully realized and independent adults with thoughts and feelings. Now, these thoughts and feelings color the opinions a person may hold, which means that opinions may vary. Now, if opinions differ in a relationship, it can lead to an argument. An argument can lead to an issue. An issue can fester like toxic mold until it poisons the whole thing. Different opinion are allowed, but unresolved issues are not.

The seven year itch is a phenomenon observed in couples who have been together for a long time. It postulates that after seven years, partners become bored of each other and may even have an affair. It should be noted that when divorce rates were analyzed, they tend to happen at around the seven year mark, lending some credence to concept of a seven year itch.

Sometimes, problems arise in a partnership because people fall out of sync with each other. It is not boredom, a lack of intimacy, or any other factors. Sometimes, a person just changes so much that the relationship is no longer viable.

But a lot of couples, particularly married ones with kids, try and stick it out, try to make things work. As such, many of them try to get counseling. Sometimes, if religious, they go to a priest or a pastor. But, mostly, people go to a therapist to seek some kind of help.

But a therapist can only do so much. All they can do is offer advice. At the end of the day, it is up to the couple to consciously choose each other and work on themselves.

Love is a difficult thing to let die. With the right partner, it never has to. But keeping something alive can take a little bit of help.
