Romantic relationships are one of the closest forms of relationships that we experience throughout our life. Also, they are one of the most complex type of relationships.

Choosing someone to be our life partner might be simple and natural, but staying with that person trough life’s ups and downs, trough changing and readjusting, might be a tough work.

It is well known and accepted that very few relationships are conflict free, however when the fulfillments and happiness downgrade and fades in front of the unfulfillments, sadness, stress, anxiety and frustrations that a couple might experience, is natural to question the longevity of the relationship.

There are many reasons for what a relationship may experience difficulties.

Any change that a couple might get through, like moving together, marriage, planning a family, becoming parents, moving country, can bring a lot of excitement, but also cause a lot of distress within the couple.

Letting someone to get in our lives, includes way much more than the person. Some couples are more impacted than others when it comes to the past of the person, to the extended families, to the career and many other external factors.

Sometimes the simple act of the evolution of an individual can bring major changes that implies readjustments which can impact the relationship and the couple’s life together.

The majority of us, in the majority of these situations, have the natural tendency of fixing the problems by ourselves. However, sometimes the subjectivity might make us overlook some important resources we might have that can be used in the process of solving a problem, so seeking for help outside can be extremely helpful.
