Most of us would agree that being in a positive, healthy and fulfilling relationship is the recipe for a happy life. Our intimate relationships with our partners, children, families, friends and co-workers generally dictate our levels of happiness and satisfaction with our lives.
However, as we all know, relationships are a double edge sword – whilst they provide the deepest source of love and happiness, they can also result in hurt, anger, frustration, loneliness and disappointment.
How do we know our relationship is in trouble?
First thing to note – most, if not all relationships will experience difficulties and hit bumps in the road. This is normal!…
However, if the issues/problems in the relationship are long standing, persistent and affecting yours and your families’ quality of life – it may be useful to seek therapy.
