Psychologists confirm that many people fall for the first of two habits that can ruin their marital relationship

Imagine being the closest The two secret people always argue over trivial matters, making their faces red and their ears red. Those seemingly insignificant daily habits may be quietly corroding your relationship. Psychologists have found that some behaviors are like chronic poison, which can gradually deteriorate emotions over time.

1. Use blame instead of communication

1. Invisible blade in language

"Why did you throw your socks around again? ”How many times have you said it but still don't listen? Are these words familiar to you? Accusatory communication can escalate a partner's mistakes into a personality attack, causing the other person to develop a defensive mentality. Trying to replace 'you always' with' I hope 'may have a very different effect.

2. The vicious cycle of emotional release

When one party expresses dissatisfaction with shouting, the other party is likely to resist with silence. This mode of confrontation will make conflicts snowball and grow bigger. When emotionally charged, take a deep breath for 10 seconds to give the brain a buffer period.

2. Taking the other person's efforts for granted

1. The risk of selective blindness

In long-term relationships, it is easy to suffer from "effort myopia", which only sees one's own hard work but ignores the breakfast and clothes prepared by the other person every day. Regularly practice gratitude and write down three small things that moved your partner.

2. Comparing psychological traps

"Other people's husbands/wives" is the most hurtful comparison. Every couple has their own pace of getting along, measuring their relationship by someone else's standards, just like comparing speed to a yacht and a sports car. Changing these habits does not require earth shattering actions. Give your partner a hug when you go home today, and count three seconds before arguing. These small adjustments are like dripping lubricant on rusty gears. A good marriage is not without conflicts, but knowing how to turn conflicts into a stepping stone to escalate the relationship.
