Stop Trying to Change Your Mate
This is likely the most common mistake among relationships is to try to change a person to better suit your needs. Often, one may feel if by subtle suggestions or forced request its in their best interest to change because you no longer see the wonderful person you fell in love with. Less not forget what attracted you to him/her in the first place. You must understand, this a not a favor and your being hurtful not helpful.

Slack in the Romance Dept.
Anything worth keeping takes are hard work and relationships are just as hard. After years of being together we tend to fall in normalcy and lost sight of romance. We become complacent, falling short of efforts in making each other feel special. Slacking in romance is one of many reasons why most relationships fail. Love is actually easy, it's all the baggage we attach to it that make it seem impossible, but it's not. Stress, finances and silly things that don't really matter can rob you of those intimate times once enjoyed, Get your sexy back. Embrace your significant other and express your love.

Grudge Match

Not seeing eye-to-eye on everything is expected in relationships, but when it turns into an all out war, then issues need to addressed. Couples are going to fight, its how you fight. Screaming and cursing solves nothing... it only steals your joy. Conflicts will arise, it's how the two of you approach and settle differences in an adult manner. If neither can come to a civil agreement, retreat to your corner, cool down and come together when you're able to discuss matters. Settle your differences and coming out loving.

SHHH...Keeping Secrets is a No-No
In my opinion, relationships work best when couples are transparent. Being open with one another doesn't necessarily make your vulnerable, but enhances trust and strength. Honest can be the best policy when it comes to sharing your feelings. Most people think by with holding secrets it shields their loved ones from harm, when its just the opposite. What is done in the dark will eventually come to light. Admittingly, exposing the truth is scary and avoiding consequences may seem ideal, but lying is clearly not the answer.

Happiness is Your Responsibility
Its not your partner responsibility to make you happy. This is one of those mistakes that are pretty sneaky because its usually fueled by guilt, but goes unrecognized. You're trying to hard so hard in keeping the other person happy that its making you miserable. Although, catering to your lovers needs can be beneficial.However, its unfair to make them meet or exceed high demands to keep you happy. Happiness a union best enjoyed when its comes from a genuine place. You're only sabotaging the relationship and possibly causing your partner seek peace elsewhere. To ensure personal happiness, you must know how to make yourself happy before you can make someone else. 

Face it mistakes are going to happen, but its that balance, communication and support we look forward to that keeps a relationship strong. Paying attention and trusting your better half can make any union enjoyable.
