A guy meets lady or vice versa, there is some form of attraction and they have some common interest. With time, the decide to take it further and go into a relationship with marriage in view. They can’t get over each other, the butterflies won’t leave their bellies. They are in love.
While this may be a good feeling, there are certain things they may need to take into consideration lest their relationship hits the rock. These are the relationship red flags, which are indicators that the ‘ship’ would likely ‘sink’. They include:
- Lack of communication
Communication is the ‘lifeblood’ of any relationship. If a gap exists, it can drain. Communication is about openness, trust and selflessness. If the guy or lady is too secretive, it may be an issue. If the couple rarely talk to each other to know about the other party. It might just be another casual friendship. The two people have to be committed to each and make each other a priority and know what is going in their lives. They need to understand each other’s love language, likes and dislikes and talk about everything and anything.
- Immaturity
Two people who have committed to each other with marriage in view have to let go of childishness. Marriage for matured people who have learnt how to forgive, love and be decisive about their relationship. Marriage is about giving 100% from both parties. It is childish to keep scores or react to every situation, the man and woman should think in terms of what is best for both of them.
- If your family and friends dislikes your partner
This is a big red flag. Normally, when you are in love you fail to see wrong things about your partners. Your family and friends can spot those things and would have your best interest. In most cases, if they don’t like your partner for obvious reasons, it means he/she might not be the right person.
- Manipulation
Love is kind and not manipulative. If your partner tries to control you and doesn’t allow you to be, it is a big issue. In relationships, you should be given your space but if your partner is always too clingy and controls your behaviour, you may need to have a rethink.
- Insecurity
An insecure person would drain the relationship of its love and pleasure. It could be they are carrying baggages from past relationships or life situations. Such a person needs to find peace and learn to love again. They would always envisage the worst to happen. It is advisable to marry someone who is whole and secured than someone who is unsure and inconsistent or non-committed.
