In every relationship, there are tough times and you have to be tough yourself to outlast this momemts. Tough moments don't last but tough people do.
Here are a few hacks that would make your relationship survive tough moments
1. Third party advice
You should have a mentor. One whose relationship you're looking up to. And you should not hesitate to get advices on things you're going through in your relationship. They should have faced the same situations a number of times and have survived. You can learn a thing or two from them.
2. Penintence
Be apologetic. Accept your wrongs and do not stand on your rights. Show remorse when you've wronged. It isn't the time to claim your stance.
3. Be sensitive
Read clearly the signs your partner gives and do not be quick to engage them blindly. Be there to support when they're down and do not leave them to their doom.
4. Cultivate a tenacious spirit
Be determined not to let any tough moment be the end of your relationship. Don't give up on the relationship easily. Have a fighting spirit and fight for it.
5. Positivity
Do not be too quick to judge or look at the negative side of things. Tough moments are not the time to be pessimistic. Instead, be optimistic. Dont make up ideas or have negative validations. Be positive and look at the good aspect of things. You can even reminisce about the good times and look forward to it happening again.
6. check yourself
Before looking at your partner fault, be swift to check yourself first and figure what you've been doing wrongly, or not doing at all. It's easy to see the fault in someone else and not yours. Sometimes there are things you should blame yourself for and not someone else.
