I have been working on relationships in my married couple for many years and have achieved excellent results. Now I can say with confidence that my husband and I have a happy, harmonious relationship. Now I help other women build harmonious partnerships. And in this publication I want to share with you my opinion about what principles are important to adhere to in order to achieve harmony in a relationship with a partner? 1. Relationships in a couple are the everyday work of two people. Both partners must understand that they are equally responsible for their family well-being. And everyone should want to achieve happy, trusting relationships and work on themselves (you cannot change another person, you can only change yourself!).2. Support your partner, be on his side, even if you don’t agree with something, still choose him (your partner), because he is the best for you, your loved one.3. Appreciate your partner’s successes, rejoice in them, recognize his achievements, compliment him and praise him. Unfortunately, we often do not know how to sincerely rejoice at the successes of our loved ones and thereby hurt them greatly.4. Confidential communication is very important: talk, share feelings, talk about what hurts, don’t hold hidden grudges, they poison life and alienate each other.5. Another important skill is the ability and desire to listen and hear another person, the desire to understand his motives and intentions. Therefore, learn to listen!6. Gratitude! Never take for granted what your partner does for you. Thank him even for his efforts and desire to help. And then he will be happy to try to help even more.7. Mutual respect, if there is no feeling of respect for a partner, then it costs nothing to hurt a person, which is why respect and mutual understanding are so important.8. And also, dear girls, it is important for us to learn to ask for help (any help). Translate all reproaches and complaints into requests, and use “I-messages” in conversation. Of course, these are not all the principles, but those listed are already enough to reconsider your relationship and, if necessary, try to improve it. If you are not satisfied with the quality family life, you feel unhappy, are thinking about divorce and don’t know what to do, then turn to a psychologist for help. Together we will find a way out of a difficult situation! Your psychologist, Svetlana Afanasyeva
