Problems in relationships happen at all levels. It does not always have to be with a partner, it can be with a close friend or a family member as well. Family is the closest bond that a person has. A family that is tightly knit strives to face all the problems that come their way together. But sometimes some issues can be gruesome, that none of their attempt actually lands them with a solution.

A little disagreement exists in every relationship, but how the two people accommodate each other’s wants and wishes and concerns, it what makes the relationship stronger over time. The butterflies of initial days die down after a while and the relationship starts getting stable. It is then that the problems stop cropping up. You start seeing your partner in different light.
