7 Challenging Things Every Couple MUST Do To Stay Together

Nothing worthwhile comes easily.

We all know that relationships take work — and just like any other type of work, it can be a challenge.

But — it is necessary.

If you hope to have a lifelong relationship with someone, it’s going to require compromise, and even some sacrifice.

Here are some challenging (but necessary) things every couple must do if they hope to stay together.

1: Open yourself up to love.

I bet you didn’t expect this point — which is exactly the idea.

You’ve been through challenging times, I understand. Your previous relationships (quite obviously) haven’t worked out. Maybe you’ve even processed and experienced some trauma, as many have.

For these reasons, understandably, you have a tendency to shut yourself off to love, or perhaps remain skeptical when it does arrive.

I hear this all the time from clients.

Inevitably, though, what happens next?

The relationship crumbles. “They” seem to lose interest. That connection, or spark isn’t there — and it happens over and over again.
