• The praise should be specific when addressing a person. Recognize the talent and skills possessed by the person and praise him accordingly, highlighting his qualities.
• The praise should come immediately when the person has achieved or fulfilled something. Praise at that moment only comes forth as an encouragement.
• The praise should be in private when one wishes to offer support to the person concerned whereas in public it means that their performance has been recognized and further encouraged.

The Happy Effect

When we seek a relationship advice we are often bombarded with a list of do's and don'ts- don't nag, don't be possessive, don't grill your partner over something he/she says by mistake. But ignore them for a while because the happiest couples, psychologist say, focus on the do's in their relation.


Try and focus on whats good and positive in your relation rather than harp on the wrong one's. As it will help you understand your relation better, strengthen it and invite positive vibes.
Instead of getting fixated on your partner's flaws, look for positive traits in them that complement your negatives. The basic premise is that your perception and belief system directly determine how you feel and act.
When both of you are in an angry frame of mind, it's very easy to say things you'll end up regretting later. Therapist unanimously agree that the importance of forgiveness and humour in strengthening a relationship cannot be stressed enough. Reminiscing of happy memories, sharing jokes and fun vacations improve your perception of your partner.
Enhancing each other's self- esteem and encouraging your partner  to do his or her best will automatically make you both fare better.
Faults are a part and parcel of life. Never leave and issue or an argument unresolved,  take out time to figure out what went wrong where and discuss it with your partner.

The Break- Up Factors

The break- ups have become so common today mainly because the will factor or the willingness to make a relationship lacks between the couples. Its also not an easy task to make a relationship work as it is most often mired by miscommunication, suspicion amongst others.


Some of the reasons for a break up are:

1. The moment the realizations sets in amongst the partners that they are no longer compatible for each other and would do good only if they choose separate paths.
2. The financial matters which is always a cause of tiff between partners unless the partners are earning well. These matters always come to the fore at least sometime.
3. Making your partner jealous by the very mention of your ex- flame. It can be a real cause of concern if there are some past irritants associated with it.
4. Even the work pressure building up on one partner can be bothersome too. Divide your work in a manner that will also relieve your partner's work and in turn give you both time for each other.
5. In case of children, take equal responsibility in bringing them up. Help them complete their homework, go out and play with them and spend some constructive time with them.
6. Give your partner ample space to realize their potential  in a bid to help them develop their creativity and personal growth too.
