5 Signs You May Want to Reflect on Your Relationship

And communicate with your partner for happier, healthier love.

As we move into the new year, we may reflect on the year that’s passed. How was it, and how can we make this year better? Did our goals, wants, or needs change? Each new year brings us the chance to have a fresh start. We can live happier, healthier lives, and reassess our actions and feelings.

Just as we look back on the previous year and brainstorm our desires for the year to come, we can look back on our relationships and what we want moving forward. Re-assessing over time can help ensure we’re in the good place we deserve; it can help ensure positive feelings at the end of the new year.

To help guide you through this reflection, I’ve explained five signs that show you may want to reflect on your relationship more critically to make sure you’re the happiest and healthiest you can be. Every relationship is different of course, so these signs serve as simply starting points to consider. If you’re concerned, I encourage you to communicate with your partner about your emotions and needs.

Having the same long-term life goals can be promising for a relationship, especially if you’re looking to marry each other one day. These life goals may revolve around topics like kids and moving. Do you both want kids or both not want kids? Do you both want to stay in the same area, or are you willing to move? If you are willing to move, how far or under what circumstances? Talk specifics. One kid is different from five, and moving to the next state for a dream job is different from moving countries to try something out.

While having these conversations is never fun, per se, doing so is important. Don’t be afraid to ask your partner these questions and know you deserve to be with someone who has the same wants and intentions as you. If you’re willing to compromise, great — but if not, that’s okay too.
