Things to avoid in a relationship

There are certain things you should avoid if you want your relationship to last long. Most times, it's not always easy to listen when you are supposed to listen, not easy apologise when you are at fault, not easy to give a direct response to answers instead of being diplomatic, not easy to manifest some sincerity when expected and the lack of these essential features in your relationship would be like cooking without ingredients; the meal would definitely not be tasteful. You should strive as much as possible to display those virtues that would improve your relationship and avoid those ones that will pull it down. Below are things you shoud aviod:

• Personal attack or blame-shifting.
• Answering questions with questions.
• Communication breakdown.
• Do not hurry into any dicussion without mutual understanding.
• Bringing past offences into present situation in your speech.
• Distractions and absentmindedness when discussing.
• Don't be insincere.
• Unrestrained criticism and condemnation when your speak.
• Self-defence, self-glorification and self-justification.
• Do not delay apology where necessary.
