5 Awkward Conversations That‘ll Strengthen Your Relationship

What is it that really strengthens relationships?

Trust? Yes.

Intimacy? Yes.

Romance? Yes.

Consistent (mutual) effort? Of course.

Talking about the hard shit and revealing the secrets that you’ve never told anyone else before? Absolutely.

I think this is a big problem with relationships these days — we’re not willing to be vulnerable enough.

We’re so caught up in image, appearance, and how we’re projecting ourselves that we refuse to come across as anything less than perfect.

But, we’re not perfect. I’m not perfect, and neither are you.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

That’s a good thing, though, because “perfection” (albeit nonexistent) doesn’t allow space for personality. Your flaws and insecurities are often the very things that make you unique. They’re what make you you.

To build a real, strong, lasting foundation with someone, they need to know, love, and accept all pieces of you. That means you need to have some difficult conversations to show them what that really means.
