Do you know, would you have an idea as to the common relationship mistakes we face?
Is it about couples not finding time for each other, is it about couples just losing the love... but why would we lose something as great as love when it is always a work in progress right?
for family.. why do brothers and sisters fight, wwhy sometimes their relationships turn sour... money problems?
for friends, why do friends lose trust... is it because of betrayal... ??

hi:)
every relationships needs patience, love and trust,and good communications, every body makes mistakes as they said "nobody's perfect" but make sure that you say you’re sorry and mean it, Hugs are magical even in friendships, couple, and family, and of course you need to talk to them and clear things out, deal with the issues as early as possible.it needs an open communication without anyone trying to be right. then for sure everything will be alright.

Well worded! Patience, love, trust, communication i feel if these 4 are balanced in a family and relationship, then it would be long lasting and more stronger for ever!

The usual mistake in relationship is taking each other for granted. Also if you don't spend much time with each other, your relationship will fail. Misunderstanding and insecurity can also threaten a relationship. Constant communication is needed to have a secured relationship.

I would say most lacking in relationships is the art of perseverance. And understanding the value of relationship will also help to avoid mistakes in a relationship. Relationships are gifted ones and if we learn the art of handling them carefully, we can prevent mistakes easily!

people usually expect a lot to whom they love the most.This makes them to loose their freedom.. so they get bored and at last they lost their happiness..expectations should be reduced and avoided.one should trust their love..they should always keep them happy..this is the mistake usually takes place in all relationships

chiyosan,
I believe there's a rampant fault which actually lie in everyone of us which is being untruthful to ourselves and this has not only ate into us but our relationships as well.
For a start, there are many a times where we need to say no and out of obligation, ego or some face saving issue, we let down ourselves by accepting what is unacceptable for us.
Then, there are the times when we should have spoken the truth telling the other party that we are bothered by their habits, lifestyle or even violence and we just do not want to accept the truth and face reality.
A lot of times, many do not realize that if we could not be truthful with ourselves then how can we be to the other party. These things will just fester and eventually cause relationships to deteriorate.

Love is in the process of progress- nice definition.
Why love turns sour?
It's not love that turns sour- it's the person who changed.
Why do people changed? - because changes is constant and only the word FOREVER -is FOREVER.
Why brother-sister fight - for money?- because this world has enough to give but not enough for the geedy.
Why there is betrayal between friends?- because evil things succeeds when someone let it come in.
There is always a reason in everything and there is always an answer for every reason.
have a good day

I think there is no such thing as perfect relationship except what God had for us. I mean, at some point we come to a situation wherein we argue with our loved one, be it with family, friends or lover.
I think the important aspect in the relationship is "growth" or maturity. Truly, we can withstand whatever skirmishes we might have if both of the two opposing parties are willing to meet half -way. To compromise.

In relationships, I think the usual mistake is getting too comfortable with each other and forgetting all the little things that made you fall in love with each other. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to get comfortable around your partner, because my boyfriend and I are completely comfortable together. It's just that you can't forget about saying "I love you" or doing those cute little things that show you care. You always have to keep the fire burning and keep your partner interested by not getting stuck in the same old boring routine. That's when I think people fall out of love, because neither one of them is trying to spice up the relationship. It doesn't have to be crazy things, it could be just telling each other how much you care or just taking a night in to be with each other.

Relationship is like life, you have your ups and downs, you have smiles and frowns. Friends who betray you are not people who you can consider your friends, because friends stick to one another through whatever and they got your back in any situation. Those who use other people to their advantage, or betray others for that matter, are not friends. Family may fight about random things: money, chores, the TV remote, who gets the couch, who ate the cookies, hair in bathroom, a pigsty room, scattered stuff, etc. But at the end of the day, no matter how grave the problem is, they are still your family, and they've all you've got when everyone else turns their back on you. Love, on the other hand, is a choice. I don't believe in falling out of love because a relationship shouldn't be based on feelings alone, you have to DECIDE to be in that relationship. You have to decide to love that person, because if you make the decision, your efforts will be geared toward fulfilling that decision, therefore you can't fall out of love. And, as an advice, always PRAY. Prayers are very powerful. No relationship goes astray if God is with you:)

Hi there, I've been reading a book about love languages by Gary Chapman and i think that will help you with something. In this book it says that there are 5 languages of love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service and physical touch such as tap on the back and hug. Since each individual have different personalities, certainly we have different languages of love. If one feels loved by hearing words of affirmation but the other one feels loved in an act of service then really there would be dispute and misunderstandings. But there's a solution, if we try to open our minds to know what kind of love language each of our loved ones has and wants to speak the same language that they have and vise versa, then I'm definite that there'll be a harmonious relationship in the atmosphere. Hope that I helped you with something. Happy myLotting!

love and relationships are so complicated nowadays. don't you remember (or at least wish you could remember) when in the old days, all you had to do was worry about survival? awesome.
anyway, relationships between people can have many complications. it's hard to say why they end or what causes them to, but one thing is for sure, certain people just don't "jive" with one another. they might just be very conflictual, it could be due to astrology and blah blah blah. but the point is, chemistry is necessary in EVERY relationship, not just romantic ones.
i truly believe that anyone can get along and become friends if they have the desire to. i think the main thing that leads relationships astray is that there is desire on one part. or a stronger desire that scares the weaker desire away. it's all about what you want. how you act about what you want.
i think people need to share the same values as each other to most likely connect well and understand each other, not necessarily interests. they have to appreciate the other person for themself.
if i had to answer honestly though, i think most relationships don't work out because the people don't want the same thing. and are unwilling to compromise. etc etc. essentially i think you just need two human beings that have some kind of need for each other, some symbiosis. animals do this, we are animals as well. :)
