We always want our relationships to work, but no matter how hard we try, failed relationships are a part of life. Here are some reasons most relationships fail:

Lack of Trust

When trust is lost, it can be near-impossible to get back. Always remember that even the smallest of lies (those that you think are harmless), if done repeatedly, can break someone’s trust.

Lack of Communication

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, communication is the key to a healthy relationship. Talking to each other helps rekindle the love you have for each other, and it makes you feel important if your partner takes the time to communicate. Communication also creates a connection that transcends even distance.

Lack of Affection

It is not uncommon for love and affection to wane over time. That is why couples have to constantly take measures to rekindle the feelings they have for each other, such as constant communication. Otherwise, one or both partners will feel the lack thereof and may seek it in other people.

Lack of Respect

A relationship without respect is doomed to fail. Respect your partner’s time, effort, flaws, or even space. Give it, and you’ll get it in return.
