Everyone knows that marriage takes work. That's obvious. But a huge misconception is that only BIG things will derail your marriage: infidelity, addiction, adultery, etc. Quite often, you don't see the little things chip, chip, chipping away at you once-solid relationship foundations when in reality, it's those tiny things that eventually erode your relationship from within - without you even realizing it! - until years of petty resentments finally explode. Here's a few tiny earthquakes to watch out for: 每个人都知道婚姻需要营造。这是事实。但大家都有一个误区,以为只有大事才会破坏婚姻:不忠,沉迷,等等。很多时候,是琐碎的小事削弱着你们本是牢固的关系,这些小事在你们似懂非懂的地方腐蚀掉你们的爱情,——直到很多年后,矛盾最终爆发。下面是几个你需要提防的地方: 1. Not really talking 1. 没有真心讨论 Wake-up call: Passing each other in the hallway and mumbling something about someone taking out the trash is not talking. If you don't spend quality time talking about your lives - really, truly, deeply talking about your lives, beyond the small talk and trivialties - you aren't connecting. And if you're not connecting, you're growing apart. Simple as that. 起床时间:在走廊里擦肩而过,喃喃的说着该有人去倒垃圾了。如果你们不在黄金时间谈论你们的生活——真实地,真正地,深刻地,谈论你们的生活,而不是那些无聊的琐事——你们将不会交心。然后,如果你们不能交心,你们的关系会越来越疏远。就这么简单。 |
