<p>Self behavior is the root of any relationship. It depends on your behavior whether the relationship will work or not. And obsession and control over your loved one are the two fatal factors which when crossed a certain limit will mar your relationship. An obsessive or dangerous love addiction can take a toll on your relationships with others. Being in this kind of relationship can make it difficult to distinguish the sign of obsessions because you might outlook your behavior as normal. Any relationship that consistently makes you question your self-worth means you are in a potentially dangerous relationship.<span id="more-556"></span></p>
<p>This kind of obsessive behavior ignites most probably at the short to mid-term stages of dating. It is this stage when you have come out of the initial exciting stage of love and expect your partner to behave the way you want. You’ll want to spend each and every minute together as possible. That’s when the fiend will take hold. It is this time when your world revolves around a single person and the world doesn’t exist for you. Here are some warning signs which would probably help you recognize you obsessive behavior. If you feel you want to stay alone without your friends or family, this could be a sign. Isolation in a dangerous relationship extends beyond not seeing people. Many people in obsessive relationships engage in this behavior because the goal is to make one person totally dependent on the other. In the mind of the obsessive partner, this ensures the other person will not leave him.</p>
<p>In order to make your relationship work you firstly need to give space to your partner in all the possible way you can. It’s vital that you get direct your emotions in the right direction. A little change from your part can save your relationship.</p>

It has been observed that men and women tend to live a problematic life due to communication gap in their marriage. Read on to learn how to mend the communication gap between the caveman (husband) and the butterfly (wife).
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>Gender when takes the shape of ego can create havocs in a marriage. In other words, when unbiased with gender roles, husband and wife should come closer sharing all their conversations in order to live a happy married life.</p>
<p><span id="more-544"></span>
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>It is a fact known that majority of men are goal oriented and women are generally process oriented while moving towards the goal. In the process of communication with a man, woman tends to express more than relaying a piece of information. Just like a butterfly, women fly around a topic instead of coming straight to the topic. Men on the other hand, being like cavemen want to waste no time and want a direct idea that can be used.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>Anger must be kept at bay while mending communication gap between a husband and wife.</p>

According to latest study, it has been found that keeping separate accounts leads to a happier married life for many married couples. Yes, this is true that keeping separate bank accounts by husband and wife can result in harmony at home.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>By keeping separate accounts, each partner is responsible for his or her account and how much he or she saves and spends. No space is left for the blame game in this way, when separate accounts are kept by spouses. They can easily divide the expenses based on each person’s income. Not only this, they can also split the bills in each other’s accounts.</p>
<p><span id="more-523"></span>
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>However, before starting different accounts, make sure to ask yourself a few important questions such as, whether your partner or you have a poor credit. Also, consider whether you or your partner have any bounced checks. Apart from this, also check whether you both are legally binding in marriage, common low marriage or civil unions.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>So, now we assume that you have got a new secret to lead a happy married life by keeping separate accounts.</p>

So, we thought of sharing some tips on how to encourage husbands to help you more around the house. After trying these tips, you will be a happier wife working with the cooperation of your husband at home.</p>
<p>First of all, change yourself and try to be a supportive wife who lets her husband participate in household works on his own terms without any restriction or force. This will encourage the husband to happily contribute in household works.</p>
<p><span id="more-507"></span></p>
<p>Second tip is to switch roles for a day, for instance, if you are a mom taking care of the little one, then pass the job to your husband for a day and take up his role to make him realize how troublesome it is to raise the child and also do household chores simultaneously.</p>
<p>Another cool tip in this respect is to take time out for each other. Make sure to spend some quality time together doing fun works at home, this way you will be able to re-kindle your romantic life and also do household works in each other’s company.</p>

Women who face gender based violence in the form of rape, sexual assault and so on tend to have a higher lifetime prevalence on their mental health disorders.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>An Australian research reveals that 4,451 women ageing between 16 to 85 years of age were given international instruments to check the mental status and around 15% of them reported to face sexual assault. This study was found more comprehensive in a nationally representative sample of women.</p>
<p><span id="more-505"></span>
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>Four types of common gender based violence were causing a wide range of problems in women, such as physical disability, impaired quality of life, mental disorders for lifetime and mental disability. This research highlighted the need to ensure an expert mental health care for women who underwent gender based violence of any sort.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>This latest Australian research was supported by a grand from the National Health and Medical Research Council.&nbsp; </p>

This study has come up when a number of day to day couple conflicts were analyzed by experts on the physical can mental well being.
<p>Before this study, the research concentrated on the immediate effects of romantic conflict in a controlled laboratory setting. However, now the researchers observed the conflicts with the emotional and physiological changes taking place in different couples’ day to day life.</p>
<p><span id="more-499"></span>
<p>The study found out that the participants were facing sleep disruption due to highly anxious level in their relationships after conflicts. On the other hand, the lowest level of sleep disruption was found in couples who avoided emotional attachment with their partner.
<p>It also needs to be stated that the study found no general link between conflict and the next morning awakening physiological and stress related response. Women who were very anxious in their relationships were more disturbed according to this latest study on human mental and physical health. </p>

The thought of becoming one is pleasing but actually becoming one can take a toll on your marriage. Read on to learn about some tips to keep the passion alive while trying to become a suburban parent.
<p>Suburban parents are the ones who do all the suburban things while managing their children and home. These parents work and also keep a check on their children’s school activities without any fail. They don’t neglect any work with any silly excuse. Moreover, they give proper time to their own hobbies too.</p>
<p><span id="more-497"></span>
<p>In such a hectic scenario, suburban parents sometimes feel lack of romance in their life. This boredom can be relived by giving quality time to each other. Try to plan romantic weekends with your spouse, for instance, go for candlelight dinners or a romantic date when your kids go to bed. You may even watch a movie in a theater leaving your kids at a relative’s place.
<p>These are just a few tips to keep the passion in love life alive while being a suburba parent. </p>

So, it is very important to maintain a healthy relationship when kids are in the picture. Read on to learn what all you need to do when you get kids and you want to avoid making your married life boring.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>The first key rule to avoid boredom from marriage after kids is to try to get some time alone. You can plan to go for a movie leaving your kids with a baby sitter at home. Another alternative is to go for a dinner with kids staying at home with elders.</p>
<p><span id="more-492"></span>
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>If nothing else, you can be a little naughty by hiding yourself in bathroom and teasing each other in a loveable way without getting noticed by your kids. Plan to pamper your partner with a soothing massage when your kids are sleeping in their room.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>You may also go on a long drive or stay at home when your kids are going for a picnic with other family members. This way you get to enjoy each other’s company alone at home without anyone’s interference.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>These are just a few tricks of filling your married life with some romantic spice in spite of having children. </p>

In fact, preserving relationships even by compromising self-respect has become the norm for a successful and intimate relationship. In fact, they even expect to give up many things so as to have fairness in decisions regarding their relationships.
<p>By cooperating in a relationship as a couple you either meet your desires, or give them up eagerly for the sake of the relationship&#8217;s success. However, this might not be the case always.</p>
<p><span id="more-475"></span>
<p>At times one partner might need to fulfill his/her important need and despite repeated attempts might fail to do so. In such case, they will face conflict between giving up that important need, or choosing to do whatever is necessary.
<p>If they choose to do what they desire, they might feel guilty, and if they don’t they might have to critically compromise their self-respect. In long run, this might silently become a feeling of hatred towards their partners for whom they had to sacrifice their wishes.
<p>This, in turn, can lead to conflict on trivial issues and ultimately might lead you to pay a high price later.
<p>To compromise integrity for the sake of your relationship is not wrong. However, you must consider things that can cause harm to your self-respect if you compromise them. In such cases, the risk of losing your self-respect will cause great damage if you pretend to make compromises.&nbsp; </p>
