If you want to make sure that your relationship is as healthy as possible, then consider some steps that you can take to support your partner without compromising your own mental health.
Not Communicating
At the end of the day, communicating is the foundation of a solid relationship. It's obviously important in marriage too. When you are trying to resolve a particular conflict, you need to develop a strategy that works for both of you. Therapy is a good option, as it encourages you to talk openly and it also helps you to feel understood. Poor communication can result in a number of relational problems; so if you feel as though you are having issues, consider taking the positive steps necessary to help prevent the likelihood or potential of a divorce.
Not Being Honest
Honesty is the best policy. You cannot be honest with your partner if you are unclear about what is going on in your mind. One person keeping a secret from the other can certainly lead to conflict. If you want to be honest with each other, then you have to make sure that you are leaving enough time for communication. You also need to be able to listen openly and without any kind of judgment or criticism. If one person is speaking their truth then you need to let them. Honesty, at the end of the day, is the best way for you to build trust. This is the foundation upon which your relationship is built, so make sure that you do not overlook this and that you always chat with your loved one about any issues you could be having.
Not Prioritizing Each Other
Relationships are important but it is easy to neglect them. You have to make time for each other and you also need to ensure that you are on the same page. If you have very different goals or expectations then this can lead to further issues later down the line. You may think that as long as you love each other, everything is going to be okay in the end. Unfortunately, this isn't always true. You have to make sure that both people are happy before you move on, because if you aren't then this will result in your relationship failing.
Of course, it's easy to overlook things when you are in a relationship. Life events, such as having a baby can also affect the amount of time you get to spend with your partner. If you can keep lines of communication open, and if you can take the time to have conversations with each other about your struggles then this will help you to move forward with a much more stable foundation.
