Marriage is quite a significant milestone in everyone’s life as it brings along a set of responsibilities, challenges and expectations. However, often it has been observed that women make a few common mistakes after marriage, which can have a significant impact on the relationship and might lead to miscommunication, misunderstandings and much more.
If you are looking forward to a happy and healthy relationship with your partner, here are a few common mistakes you must avoid –
– Neglecting yourself
Often, women tend to put their own needs behind others and end up neglecting their own goals, desires and ambitions. In a bid to fulfil all the responsibilities as a wife, as a mother and as a daughter-in-law, the family becomes the ultimate goal instead of their career and ambitions. This can later lead to disappointment and regrets.
– Believing that the husband understands everything
Women often make the mistake of assuming that their partners will understand everything without them having to communicate properly. They think their husbands will know about their feelings, their wants and their needs without them asking for it. This can lead to unnecessary confusion and heartache. It will also create pressure on the husband for no reason. Communicate directly.
– Avoiding intimacy
It is extremely important to have intimacy between husband and wife. Share your joy and worries and always talk to each other about the challenges. Do not try to avoid intimacy because of anger or grudges as it can bring a gap between the two.
– Expectations don’t match
It is true that your husband certainly has a major role to play in fulfilling your needs in life. However, you need to understand that setting unrealistic expectations regarding your dreams and wishes can lead to disappointment. It is also your job to fulfil your desires and wishes.
– Lack of conflict resolution
Every relationship is different and unique and has its own set of challenges. Be it between a parent and a child, between siblings, between the parents, or between you and your husband, there are bound to be problems which you will need to tackle together. To solve a problem you need to have a conflict resolution mindset. Just remember, it’s not you versus him, it’s you both versus the problem.
