Looking at a number of relationships in Kenya, most of them don’t exceed a period of one year. For this case, it has turned out to be a normal thing to most Kenyans, of which this shouldn’t be the case. For those who have no idea about this, people in a relationship happens to depend on that love to overcome certain terrible situation such as, the fear of losing something that is dearly, or when your back is up against the wall and even when waking up from the feeling of smugness.
However, here are four tips on how to make your relationship work out.
1. Learn to fly solo
When it comes to having a long and happier relationship, one thing that each partner should consider is learning to fly solo. When talking of happiness that comes from within you, it doesn’t depend on the relationship that you have or even your job, but it can only be brought by an individual him/herself. Avoid getting into any relationship before acknowledging the means of being happy.
2. Take care of your own needs
Most of the relationships happen to fall apart, as one of the partners in the relationship happens to depend a lot towards the other partner. This act should be discouraged as both of the couples are adults and can manage taking care of their own needs.
3. Accept conflict as normal
Most of the people happen to confuse a real relationship with the one that they happen to watch in movies. For any relationship, there must a point where couples find themselves in a conflict with each other and that shouldn’t be a cause of breakup as it is a normal thing.
4. Give each other space
The state of giving each other space as a couple normally happens when you are unable to agree on something for a long time. This space helps a lot when it comes to building a relationship as it helps each couple to think correctly and decide on the appropriate action to come up with a solution.
