Chances are, you know what you and your partner need to work on. That’s good. But it’s easy to get so bogged down in the whole being-better-than-yesterday thing that you lose sight of — or don’t take the time to appreciate — the areas where you succeed. It’s a natural impulse (we humans are, after all, wired to focus more on the negative) but one to actively fight. Because in focusing on what works we’re able to live in the moment and enjoy the small victories. That’s important.

TIPS AND TRICKS


Do Your Best Not to Play the Blame Game
Whenever something goes wrong, there’s a natural instinct to try and figure out what happened and why. This tends to lead to the assignation of blame, and most people’s first instinct is not to point the finger at themselves. However, if you start laying it all at your partner’s feet, then all you are doing is fostering resentment and anger. “Accusatory language makes us emotive and the logical explanation that you’re seeking will not suffice,” says relationship expert Shar Fuller. Your best bet? Avoid blame-shifting or making conclusions and do your best to talk about what happened as a team.
