Making Things Work With Professional Relationship Advice

By Christine Sanders


Human beings are social animals. They live in communities, they form platonic attachments to each other. Sometimes, they even form romantic attachments to one another. People fall in love out of time. But love has its highs and lows. When its high, it is a drug like no other. When its low, there is professional relationship advice to help with the problem.

There a number of reasons people enter into romantic relationships. For some, it is a game. For others, it is a way to get the intimacy they may have been denied earlier in life. Of course the natural reason that people fall in love is because of a chemical reaction on the brain driving people to want to form social bonds but also to procreate, to create smaller, dumber versions of themselves in order to insure the continued survival of the human species.

But that love does not always last. Sometimes it fades away. The most beautiful thing two people will ever be able to do with each other is to create life. Unfortunately, that new life is a loud, rambunctious, little monster that has to be looked after every minute of every hour of every day until it grows up enough to look after itself. Looking after a child can drive people apart, especially if there is more than one. A couple can devote so much time and energy into childrearing that they forget to devote time and energy towards each other as well.

The fact of the matter is that regardless of gender, race, or religion, when a couple gets together, they are still two fully independent people. Now, being fully grown adults, there will be some differences in opinion. Sometimes, these differences of opinion escalate into full blown arguments that may or may not get resolved. It is when an argument goes unresolved that is the issue. An unresolved issue can fester and brew resentment, resentment which can seep into all aspects of a relationship and drive partners apart.

But it is not just resentment and children that pull a romance apart. The seven year itch is a psychological phenomenon that states that satisfaction in a relationship dips after about seven years of being together. In fact, research shows that divorce generally happens after seven years of marriage, lending some truth of the concept of a seven year itch.

Sometimes, problems arise in a partnership because people fall out of sync with each other. It is not boredom, a lack of intimacy, or any other factors. Sometimes, a person just changes so much that the relationship is no longer viable.

But a lot of couples, particularly married ones with kids, try and stick it out, try to make things work. As such, many of them try to get counseling. Sometimes, if religious, they go to a priest or a pastor. But, mostly, people go to a therapist to seek some kind of help.

No one chooses to fall in love. Truth, no one chooses to fall in love at all. The choice lies in the relationship, in wanting to make something work.

Love is a many splendored thing. But it is also somehow both one of the easiest and the hardest things a person will ever have to go through. When it does not work, there is help.
