Couples: Hard Things are worth trying

Look at your self and look at your relationship. Find what makes it hard? Find what it is hard for you and your partner to communicate and get closer. Find what can make your relationship better.

Read carefully, I am saying, look at yourself and your relationship, not at your partner. The purpose of this exercise is to find out what it is hard on you to make your relationship more enjoyable and better.

Here are some of mine that I am working on:

Forgiveness after getting hurt

Letting go of bitterness

Assuming the worse out of my partner or being quick to judge.

Opening up to my partner and allow her to hear my feelings

Actively listen and respond

Once you make your list, try to change them one at a time. Understand that is it hard to change and know it isn't easy. But the question that you need to remind yourself with each time is: Is it worth it? See, you need to look at the change in you and your life as an investment, an investment toward your relationship and marriage. This hard investment, will only pay when you stick with it for long time and you don't sell out even when the market in down ( not getting good feedback from your partner)

Believe me, when I tell you that those hard things are worth trying, not only that but it is an expression of love. You partner should pay a closer look to your progress and notice your change and encourage you. But my advice is to keep on going and try hard to change those hard things. Remeber to to Think Potential and understand it is worth it to let go of those hard things in order to win what is more important than those hard things.
