As a couple there are many times choices are needed to be made; some quite easy while others more difficult. This time of year may be the most difficult time because so many decisions need to be made. As a couple, choices sometimes can be difficult, for example who to visit, what to buy and how will the choice affect your relationship. This article will offer some ideas to help you both make choices that can bring you closer to one another.
In making choices it is very important to be honest with your partner and especially yourself. As a couple making choices can have an impact on the relationship; choices made, even though you are now a couple, is really one choice shared by two people; if done with little to no input from your partner it could impact feelings and create a trust issue.
One of the goals in making a choice together is the hope it can bring the two of you closer. One trick I have learned with my partner is the art of compromising; finding middle ground shows that as a couple you are working together. Compromising is just a way that respects your views and opinions. The importance of compromising is showing respect to each other and acknowledging each other’s sense of happiness.
The third important way for a couple to make choices is to use the old standby- communication.Talking the situation over and maybe even utilizing a pro and con sheet, will allow you both to see a clearer option and weigh the benefits.
Finally, as a couple, you need to feel good about the choice. You both need to look at the short/long term consequences and feel that together you made the best choice. As a couple, whether married or not, remember you both are deciding as one team and most relationships are happier and maybe last longer when each of you have an equal role in making that choice.
Good Luck!!
Avoid making important decisions independently. Marriages are happier for both husbands and wives when each has an equal say in important decisions,
