Making the Connection

Soon after making the commitment to improve a relationship, you may encounter roadblocks. One of the constants is that things do not always go according to plan. You may be fully committed to change, but when your significant other refuses to cooperate or compromise, the process becomes much more difficult.

Experts concede that trying to improve a relationship with a resistant person is a difficult feat. If you encounter resistance, you may feel frustration because your expectations are not being met. The expectation of immediate change is unrealistic. However, you may be surprised to find that even your most stubborn adversaries are willing to meet you in the middle.
