In many relationships, closeness and intimacy can fade with the pressures of everyday life. Here’s why—and how to reignite that spark, by DrJeff4Help
Even more concerning, partners too often let their guard down and stop being considerate to each other. When couples are no longer sensitive and protective toward one another, their relationship suffers from negative energy and neglect. Disconnection unsurprisingly ensues.
The All-or-Nothing Trap: You see your partner as either always doing the wrong thing, or never doing the right thing. Catastrophic Conclusions: One partner exaggerates negative actions and events concerning the other partner. The “Should” Bomb: One partner assumes the other will meet one or more of his or her needs—just because they should know that need. While there may certainly be kernels of truth underlying some of these types of toxic thoughts, it is the extent to which we distort, exaggerate, and overly focus on them that can suck the joy out of loving relationships.
The bottom line is that happy, satisfied couples who do not get bogged down in toxic thoughts have a better, more realistic, and healthier way of thinking about each other. It is this way of thinking that enables such couples to maintain positive communication, address problems, and enhance romance. Managing toxic thoughts and finding ways to continue appreciating your partner is the secret to a sustainably happy relationship.
