Finding Forever 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.

Human beings fall for each other for a number of reasons. Intimacy is among them, a person wants to be vulnerable every now and then, wants to let their walls down, and having an intimate partner allows that to happen. But the main reason people fall, at least the heterosexuals, is because of procreation. Human beings pair off because of some ingrained instinct to find someone to help make more human beings.

Of course, sometimes people succeed in their quest to procreate. It is a beautiful thing, to watch life come into the world. Unfortunately, what happens afterwards is a total mess, a veritable war on the sanity. Children have needs but do not always posses the means to communicate those needs effectively, which means a lot of screaming and crying. Children also have to be fed, clothed, and sheltered, which means that one partner has to go back to work in order to make enough money to care for the newborn. Now, caring for kids is all well and good, but some couples put so much of their focus on keeping the little gremlins alive that they forget about each other in the process.

However, it is not just kids that can drive two people apart, sometimes because they are people, fully realized and independent adults with thoughts and feelings. Now, these thoughts and feelings color the opinions a person may hold, which means that opinions may vary. Now, if opinions differ in a relationship, it can lead to an argument. An argument can lead to an issue. An issue can fester like toxic mold until it poisons the whole thing. Different opinion are allowed, but unresolved issues are not.

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.

But the dissolution of a union is not completely dependent on resentment or on children. Sometimes, two people just stop working as a couple. It is not the fault of anyone in the relationship, some things just come with an expiration date.

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.

At the end of the day however, love is about choice. The choice is to stay in love. Couples have to wake up every day and choose each other, choose to care about one another.

Life is a difficult thing to go through. But the right partner can make it easier. But staying for the partner might take a little effort.
