Amy & Aron's

If you think that the best relationships don’t have problems, we think you’re a little misguided. The reality is that all couples experience trouble but the ones that will go the distance are ready to work through these issues. Let’s explore some of the common problems that you could encounter with your partner.



Let’s Talk About Sex

Sex isn’t the be-all and end-all of a relationship. Some relationships work well without sex but this needs to be agreed by both parties. A lot of people do find that they have a stronger relationship if they have a healthy sex life. If you are struggling with keeping things healthy sexually, then you can try things like toys or new kinks. Alternatively, you might want to explore counseling if you think your partner is experiencing something like a love addiction. This might be the case if they seem to feel like sex is the focus of your connection and little else matters.

What About Trust?

If the trust is gone from your relationship then you may feel as though there’s nothing left fighting for. This is understandable particularly if they broke your trust by cheating or by hurting you in some other way. However, you can see trust like an empty jar. Rather than abandoning the relationship, you should instead ask them to fill the jar with marbles. One marble is put in the jar each time they complete an act that shows you can trust them. Once the jar is full, you should grant them the same trust that you gave before it was broken.

The Trouble With Money

Money is something that a lot of couples fight about. Often, this occurs because people have completely different perspectives when it comes to money. Some people want to save, save, save while others are more interested in spending and enjoying life's luxuries. After you get married, this becomes more difficult because money is often shared completely. It's important to sit down and try to understand how you each see money. If you can’t see eye to eye on spending, it might be worth keeping separate accounts even after you are married.

Extended Families

Finally, it’s worth thinking about the family of your partner. If you have no qualms or issues with your partner’s family and the same is true for them with yours, then you have a very rare relationship. A lot of people don’t always see eye to eye with their partner’s parents or even their extended family. This is understandable because you might have had a completely different upbringing to them and it’s not always pleasant to learn about their childhood. The trick is to keep things amicable and avoid causing more stress or tension. Essentially, you need to let bygones be bygones here.



We hope this helps you understand some of the issues that you could be facing in your relationship right now and how to tackle them head-on. If you take this advice, then you will be able to make sure that your relationship is stronger and more stable.
