Anyone who chooses to be in a relationship will experience problems in their relationship from time to time. No matter how big or small, we can learn to deal with relationship problems through healthy communication, mutual respect and compromise.
Even the best relationships sometimes have problems. In order to have a healthy relationship, it is important to solve interpersonal problems before they become bigger relationship problems. Most relationship problems that couples share are minor and can be easily avoided with mutual effort, understanding and respect.
It is good for partners to learn to discuss relationship problems without fighting and to try to solve relationship problems without breaking up. But sometimes disagreements or unresolved issues can lead to separation. It is important to understand how to deal with relationship problems and when it may be time to walk away.
Healthy relationships are based on equality, kindness, compassion and support. Unhealthy relationships, on the other hand, often have dynamics that create negative emotions - such as criticism, selfishness, bitterness, difficulty making compromises, or an imbalance of power or control.
