Improve Your Relationship With Anger Management

While our aim is to improve the relationship, our angry tirade virtually always accomplishes the opposite result

When we lash out in anger at someone, we are desperately trying to correct a perceived injustice.

 

While our aim is to improve the relationship, our angry tirade virtually always accomplishes the opposite result.

 

It may incite the others defensiveness, which increases our frustration.

 

It may trigger the other person into an offensive counter-attack that escalates the conflict.

 

Even when an angry tirade does manage to persuade the other person to change in line with our desire, some negative fall-out results from our assault, undermining trust, bonding and intimacy in the relationship.

 

Keeping feelings of resentment to ourselves does not represent relationship wisdom.

 

Harboring unspoken feelings of resentment causes one to withhold in the relationship, often driving one to engage in passive-aggressiveness at worst, or artificiality at best that inevitably arouses the other person’s distrust.

 

Here then are some anger management tips for solving relationship problems, including marriage problems.

 

Self-honesty or emotional accountability is the first anger management tip.

 

You have face the fact that there really are some unintended, unwanted consequences, like undermining trust in your marriage, when you lash out in anger.

 

Self-understanding is another tip for better managing anger.Understand that what you really want is more love in your relationship.  When you react in anger you repel love, you do not increase it.

 

Through more self-honesty and self-understanding you can begin to formulate a relationship strategy that works better than lashing out.

 

This leads us to the third of our anger management tips to improve your relationship: be proactive instead of reactive.

 

In other words, look for ways to help the other to do better instead of attacking in reaction to his or her undesirable performance.

 

Let’s say that you begin feeling impatient and frustrated when you have to wait for your mate to gather her things together before she can walk out the door and join you in the car on a date-night.

 

Instead of steaming angrily while you count the seconds and minutes, proactively assist her in taking care of her last minute details.

 

So applying this tip for anger management means being helpful instead of hurtful to improve your relationship.

 

Here then are your 3 simple anger management tips:

1. Be self-honest.

2. Examine your motives for improved self-understanding.

3.  Be more proactive than reactive.

 

As you put these into practice, you will enjoy more loving cooperation in your relationships.

Committed Relationship Wisdom: Don’t Just Marry, Stay Engaged

Don’t just stay married.  Stay ENGAGED.  Enjoy an engaged relationship with your spouse.

Relationship Tips For Staying Committed

Build a conscious connection with your mate. Stay PRESENT

By that I mean, build a conscious connection with your mate.  Stay PRESENT.

 

Relationships between married couples don’t work out automatically.  They require the daily application of real relationship wisdom.  They require consistently CONSCIOUS relationship work.

 

This does not have to take all the joy out of matrimony.  In fact, it may be the most powerful relationship tip for preserving AND enhancing marital joy and fulfillment.

 

Sooner or later, just about all married couples can use great date ideas.   Just going out to dinner or taking in a movie can get old. Going on a drive on a moonlit night can be special, but if you have young kids at home, that may not be easy to do, without dragging your children along. (Yippeee!)

 

Here is a better date night idea: No matter what you do or where you are, try being MORE aware of how you are ENGAGING with your mate by asking yourself:

1. Am I pressing the right buttons or the wrong buttons?

2. Am I being too serious?

3. Am I being too detached?

4. Am I even paying attention to how my mate feels?

 

Unhappy relationships, like happy relationships, don’t just happen.  They are made.

 

Not every “long distance romance” is defined by physical space!

 

You and your spouse can be in the same room and yet be in different worlds.

 

Love and marriage may start out together, but they may soon begindrifting apart.

 

But it’s never too late for a marriage makeover.  It’s never too late to make a new start.

 

You can fix your marriage by re-fixing your gaze upon your mate in the now.

 

If you begin to be more intentionally and consciously involved, you feed the spark of romantic loving attraction.

 

You may be sabotaging love without realizing it.

 

Love and relationship advice: To find better ways of engaging with your mate for a great relationship, reflect on how you handled your interactions

 

Were you harsher than you wish you had been?  Did you become more frustrated than you want to be?  Did you lash out verbally in a way that you regret?  How might you have been a more constructively engaged lover, friend or even business support for your mate?

 

Don’t beat yourself up over your shortcomings. Learn your relationship lesson! Lift yourself up by thinking about how you can do better for a better relationship.

 

Do this relationship work of reflection at the close of today for a more engaged and delightful committed relationship tomorrow.

wisdom for better relationships

Make a list of the qualities you would love to have in your relationships, like love, respect, sensitivity, fun, adventure, loyalty

Here is some wisdom for better relationships that I have learned from experience: accept the risk of being selective about your relationships.

It takes a fair degree of trust, though, to follow this advice.

For a relationship that works for you, you need to let go of relationships that work against you, but insecurity causes people to stay in destructive relationships.

I myself feel into pattern years ago, feeling so insecure about being on my own that I clung to people who did not treat me very well.

When I finally felt fed up with my own lack of courage, I decided to take the risk and step out on my own.

That is how I discovered this wisdom for better relationships.  I almost immediately found myself with opportunities for wonderful, mutually supportive relationships.

Receiving and even agreeing with wise advice for a relationship that works is easier than mustering up the courage to follow that advice.

But you can take it from me that facing your insecurity and going THROUGH it, instead of letting it stop you, will lead YOU into better relationships.

One way to bring better relationships into your life is to contemplate the kinds of relationships that you believe would feel wonderful and support your life-success.

Put this principle into practice with this exercise:

  1. Begin a list of the qualities you would love to have in your relationships, like love, respect, sensitivity, fun, adventure, loyalty, etc.
  2. Then make a list of the personal qualities you would like the other person to have, such as a fine mind, compassion, creativity, responsibility, motivation, etc.
  3. Everyday contemplate this list and add to it. As you create the relationships you want in your mind, you will attract them into your life.

In this blog, please share your experience of applying this exercise for better relationships, including the results, and any questions about it that you might have.
