What is the expert’s take on relationships?

As per research on happiness, having deep relationships is more important than having good health and good money. Do you think so?

It takes around 2-3 years to come out of the emotional clouding which happens in relationships, especially in love marriages. Then the reality strikes in, making the relationship boring and very taxing, especially when the families get involved in the decisions of the couples. Thus making the scene more complicated.

As per research, after 2 years, the couples have to really put some sincere efforts to make it more refreshing as most of the marriages break up in the first 5 years. So we have to keep the relationships lively for 5 years for it to make the tender roots more firm, even though maintaining a relationship is a lifetime learning process.

Do you really feel relationships are so significant?

If not, please take time to listen to What the longest survey at Harvard reveals about happiness.

When we have any challenges in our relationships, we share them with our friends and family. Do we take some time to share with our grandparents or the relationship experts?

Can our friends and close family really guide us?

Maybe they cannot.

Why?

1. They are Emotionally clouded as they know you personally.
2. Also, they don’t get enough time and don’t have enough expertise to listen & understand others perspectives.
3. Did they spend enough time with such relationship issues like the professional counsellors do to give custom made advice?

Maybe no.

Here are some short talks by experts on relationships and also some books written by them.

It would be better to read a book to know in detail about the relationships and How to work on them?

1. The 7 principles for making marriage work – John M Gottman.

2. 5 Love languages – Gary Chapman

3. Things I wish I’d known before we got married – Gary Chapman

If you have any suggestions, please do comment so that we can learn together.
