Central NJ Marriage Counselor Offers "Thriving Relationship" Test

This article is going to be the first of a series of articles, we will take a look at what some of the problems are.  In the future, I will talk about how to handle these issues effectively.

Let’s start off with a quick test about what you think are the main challenges in order to maintain a good relationship.

Check the issue(s) that you think are stopping you from having a thriving relationship.

Is it learning how to agree on finances?
    
Is it your lack of sexual intimacy?

Is it extended family issues?

Is it falling out of love?

The correct answer is actually none of the above. Yet all of these are issues that couples may struggle with but they are only the symptoms not what I call the “Core Issues”.

In this series, I will discuss the six “Core Issues” which I have listed below:

1. Anger and fighting.
2. Good times.
3. Trust.
4. Communication.
5. Making your partner feel good about him/herself in love and in war.
6.  Defensiveness vs. openness.

More about each of these later.
