Sometimes in relationships we often get tied up in trying to do everything right that we might not see that we are doing something that can potentially be detremental to the relationship as a whole. After speaking with many couples and other relationship experts here are four things that couples should never do in hopes to keeping their relationships happy and healthy.

4 Things Never To Do In Your Relationship 

1.Never Assume: Like the saying goes, never assume it makes an ASS out of YOU and ME. COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE! Communication might be the biggest tool for keeping a relationship happy and healthy. Neither you nor your partner can read minds, no matter how much we would like to. Communicate your feelings no matter how tough or trivial you think it may be it is important to express yourself in your relationship.

2. Always Putting Your Feelings and Wants Last: It is okay to own your emotions, just because you might feel something about another person or situation doesn’t mean your partner does and that’s okay. Own how you feel but learn how to communicate (there that word is again, communicate) your emotions properly. Use words like, I felt or the situation made me feel, etc.

3. Always Looking To Win: Sometimes you have to loose the battle to win the war: They say love is a battlefield but it can hold less causalities if you aren’t looking to win every fight. Sometimes it is okay to wave the white flag and let your partner be heated, upset and own their emotions and expressed them. NO ONE WINS if the relationship doesn’t.

4. Don’t Bottle Up Your Emotions: Bottling up your emotions never does anyone any good. You think you might be doing the relationship a favor by trying to brush off certain things that bother you but if something really upsets you or makes you uncomfortable you aren’t going to be “that girl or that guy.” If you communicate how you feel.
