Aren't relationships supposed to get easier with time?

Aren't relationships supposed to get easier with time? I mean I understand that the longer you are together the more important decisions you are making about your life (engagement, marriage, children, jobs, money issues, etc), but shouldn't the communication become easier with time? Should you get to know the person over time and understand what it is that upsets them?





Any insight would be appreciated.Aren't relationships supposed to get easier with time?
You'd think so, wouldn't you? As you grow with someone and get to know them intimately, it is natural to assume that the relationship would become almost effortless.





And therein lies the problem. People become so complacent in their relationships that they fail to invest any effort into these relationships. They assume that because they've been with their person for X years, life should be good and there shouldn't be any problems. But the more you just coast along and the less amount of time and effort you put into a relationship, the more problems the relationship is going to encounter.





To maintain a good relationship, you have to work at it all the time. You can't just get comfortable after however many years and assume things will work out because you've been together awhile. Relationships take constant effort and proper attention. Otherwise, like plants that go ignored for weeks on end, they wither and die.Aren't relationships supposed to get easier with time?
Actually, yes they are. But the communication bit has to get better for everything else to get better. A couple has to agree to be open and honest, even if it means hurting the other person. Both parties have to agree to that. Once that happens and you start communicating openly and honestly, the relationship will thrive!
In theory you are right. Over time two people should be able to understand each other and perhaps almost finish their sentences, so to speak.





Sometimes one changes and the other doesn't have a clue as to what's going on.





Patience is needed. Sitting down and talking about what is going on may help. If the other person and you love each other, you can work it out. Just remind yourselves of the others good qualities and the good times you both have had.





Good luck to both of you.
yes it should get easier with time. with time you get to know your spouse well enough to know what bothers them, what he may be thinking. with this said sometimes the problems may be bigger, more stress, and this is part of a married life. you need to communicate so this obstacles do not get in your way. try talking to each other, remember not everything is gonna be just roses there some thorns in there too. good luck
You have to communicate and spend time with your mate. I'm not saying to smother them, but you need to listen as well as express yourself honestly to your mate. If you do that, you'll grow together, if you don't you'll grow apart, it's that simple!
The communication skills should improve with time... but no one can read someone else's mind to know what upsets them, and guys especially are often clueless unless you are very blunt with them.
Depends on the individuals, and so many issues. Could go either way......鈾モ櫏

Relationships are hard and a lot of work.
