Every relationship
goes through rough patches. Nothing is as rosy as pop culture makes it look and
sound. And with the current social and economic situation, relationships will
go through an even tougher test. That is not to say that every relationship will
suffer and eventually fade out, it basically means that relationships will need
to be handled with a lot more care. In such cases, the role of a relationship advisor
becomes a lot more important. Once we all go back to normalcy, and couples go
back to a time when they could take a break, go out for a walk, you would
realise that things are getting better. However, the impact that this lockdown
will have cannot be understated. This is where counselling, therapy, dialogue,
and exercises will come into play and help relationships mend better and go
back to normalcy.
Even without a
lockdown, relationships can go through a difficult phase. Reasons like
unemployment, infidelity, personal loss, and more can have a longstanding
impact on the strongest of relationships. In such cases, the future comes down
to a very simple question — are you willing to fight for this relationship or
not? If the answer is no, then the result is simple, both of you part ways and
begin the process of moving on. But, if the answer is yes, then you seek help. Family counseling
or relationship therapist, whoever you go to, needs to help you two get better.
First, look at the problems from a lens of objectivity. So often, when you are
in a relationship, small problems seem bigger because your perspective is
skewed by the past. That is where a therapist comes in and helps you look at
the bigger picture.
