Relationships contain much emotion. When they are going well, everyone is happy. When things go wrong, one person generally suffers and the consequences can be disastrous.

Are both you and your partner totally happy or is there room for improvement?

Most people don't do anything to improve their relationship until there are major problems. This is often too late as one person is often filled with resentment and is keen to have an affair or leave.

If your relationship is important to you, how much time do you spend improving it to make sure it succeeds? If you are like most people, you take it for granted and spend no time developing it. You will be "hoping" it works and it stays as good as your courting days.

Nearly all relationships follow a similar pattern. When you feel attracted to someone, you set out to impress them. If they like you, they will attempt to impress you. If you both like each other, there is a good chance you will get together. This is the Impression Stage and generally lasts a short period.

Once impressed, you enter the Commitment Stage followed by the Reality Stage. With commitment, you become complacent as it is "I have you so I no longer need to impress". As you progress through the Reality Stage (predominantly good with the odd bad), it is easy to focus on what your partner is not doing that you dislike and how they are not satisfying your needs. You soon enter the Resentment Stage where you resent what they are doing. This can be identified by much arguing, no communication, little affection, not spending time with each other and degrading comments. A person in the Resentment Stage will either push to rectify the problems, have an affair (to get their needs met) or will leave the relationship.

A break-up can be devastating for one or both partners and for the children. It often results in depression and/or suicidal thoughts.
