Reasons Why Relationships Fail Whether you have been married twenty years or have just been dating for several months, your relationship is not immune to serious problems (Baby Please Don’t Go, p.1). No relationship can be devoid of problems because there exists no such thing as a perfect relationship. Relationships revolve around human nature, the depths of which can never be calculated (Borkar, 2010, p.1). Even the best couples run into relationship problems once in a while. Conflict is part of the human tapestry that we all deal with at one time or another (Warta, 2008, p.1). Relationship problems are nothing but a few bumps on the road of life and one has no other option but to cross over them. Relationship problems are not just limited to a couple, but they also occur between father and child, brother and sister, and between friends (Dating Women, 2010-2011, p.3). But fear not, that does not necessarily mean that we have to just hopelessly accept relationship problems without the ability to prevent or remedy them. Our ability to prevent, minimize and resolve our relationship problems will ultimately aid us in strenghtening the relationship (EZ Love Solutions, 2011, p.1). All relationship problems stem from poor communication skills. Individuals that are unable to express themselves and want their partners to understand it is wanting a miracle. You need to relize that when you are unable to understand and express yourself, expecting someone else to do so is completely wrong. If you know the right and effective way to communicate with your partner, almost all types of relationship problems can be solved. One must communicate properly. Proper communication implies expressing your thoughts clearly and listening effectively to other’s opinion (Dating Women, 2010-2011, p.3). No matter what the issues are, the real problem is that two partners have
