Crisis in family life. Having met and fallen in love with each other, young people expect joy and ease from family relationships. After a while, they encounter the first difficulties and attribute to them the name “crisis”. Today, our life is so saturated with the knowledge of psychology that every newlywed knows that there is a crisis of the first year of marriage, popularly called the grinding in, a crisis of three years - they say that this is exactly how long love lasts (there is even a book and a film with the same name), and so on... Some people perceive all this with a grin, while others justify their broken relationships with this. What actually is a relationship crisis? There is There are many definitions for understanding a crisis, the closest to me is that a crisis is a period when the existing behavior in a couple does not bring joy/pleasure, and gradually the partners become boring with each other and a distance appears between them, which can gradually turn into an abyss. What lies at the core crisis?1. A difficult period in the life of one of the family members (child’s adolescence/midlife crisis). Usually at this time all the difficulties and problems that were deeply hidden in the family come to light. There is not enough patience to withstand the internal dissatisfaction with the current situation and the difficult behavior of one of the loved ones and the relationship worsens.2. Situational crisis - death of a loved one, moving, changing jobs. The moment that makes a person wonder whether I’m going there, or whether those people are next to me, can also become the point at which a crisis arises.3. Complete fusion and dissolution of partners in each other. Merger leads to the fact that one of the partners gets tired and begins to suffocate from lack of air in the relationship. The world around him suddenly becomes much more interesting than the world of his family, this leads to the fact that he begins to rigidly protect himself from his partner, causing him pain and provoking conflicts. The partner does this in order to feel that he has regained the boundaries of his “I”.4. We are too different. Over time, the veil of romance goes away, when a person wants to seem better than he is and when he is ready to make concessions. And two people begin to notice that they are different. One loves quiet, cozy evenings at home, while the other prefers noisy parties. Sometimes people are not ready to make compromises and are not ready to accept the differences of another person.5. Lack of communication. High-quality communication is the basis of stable, good relationships. Unspoken grievances, expectations, thoughts that are not shared become a chasm between lovers. Because after a while it turns out that a friend or colleague knows more about you than your husband, that her support is more relevant and closer to you. Gradually, this gap between partners becomes larger and larger, and people who love each other get further and further away.6. Lack of commonality between the couple. Each partner has his own plans, not taking into account the plans and needs of the other, believing that mine is more important. They live together, but like neighbors, because everyone lives in their own world, with their own thoughts. These are just the main reasons for the crisis in the relationship between a couple. And in each case they can change: intertwining with each other. A crisis is a comma, which can be followed by either a new round in a relationship or the end of a relationship. And only in the hands of the couple to reach a new level or separate.
