How to Maintain A Lasting Relationship

For any relationship to work and survive, it is essential that both the people put in efforts and try to understand each other. It is true that two partners will have differences at times, but what is more important is that they understand that no one is perfect. Every person in this world is bound to have his/her own set of flaws and defects. So, it is necessary to stop expecting perfectionism from your commitments and relationships. In fact, many a times, it is the “perfect imperfection” of a relationship that keeps it going. So, you have to try to look past the differences, find out what both of you have in common and exploit it to the maximum. Often, due to minor issues like financial stress, sexual incompatibility, emotional conflicts, differences in priorities and communication problems, the basis of a relationship is weakened. Partners should learn to identify such signs and try to solve these issues at the initial stage only; lest they go out of control and create major hurdles.
