Relationships are like gardens: they need constant care to flourish.

When I think about my marriage and the couples I know, I realize that there are fundamental principles that underpin living together.

And I also realize how small signs can indicate that something isn't right, including possible hints of infidelity.

Quiz: Faithful or Unfaithful? Who Are You?

But the good news is that, most of the time, marital problems can be resolved.

All it takes is willpower, humility, and of course, true love.

Fundamental principles of a good relationship

Trust

The first of these, without a doubt, is trust. Without trust, any small problem becomes a tsunami.

The foundation of a relationship should be solid enough that one of the two can make a mistake without the other person feeling immediately betrayed and being willing to speak up.

Communication

Another point is communication. My wife and I, for example, have learned in practice that holding a grudge only hurts.

When something bothers us, we try to talk about it as soon as possible, even if it's difficult. Healthy communication requires honesty and listening, and listening is often more important than talking.

Admiration

Mutual admiration is also essential. I know couples who have lost their mutual charm simply because they no longer recognize the qualities that brought them together.

Routine makes us forget how special the other person is. That's why it's important to say, "I'm proud of you" or "You make a difference in my life." Small gestures make a difference.

I respect

And, of course, respect. Respecting each other's time, boundaries, opinions, and even pain. A couple is made up of two stories, two different backgrounds.

When respect disappears, the relationship becomes a competition, and no one wins this type of dispute.

Signs of possible betrayal

No one likes to think about this, but unfortunately, it's a reality that many face. And the signs are often there, disguised as "normal" behaviors.

One of the first warning signs is a sudden change in behavior. When a person starts hiding their cell phone, avoiding physical contact, or going out frequently, without clear explanation, this can be a warning sign.

Another indicator is a lack of interest. When there was affection before, and now there's only coldness, distance, or monosyllabic responses, it's important to be alert.

It's also important to observe changes in routine without reasonable explanation, such as working late every day, changing cell phone passwords, and distancing yourself from mutual friends.

None of these signs, by themselves, prove betrayal.

But all of them, combined with intuition, deserve attention. I have a friend who distrusted his wife, but kept it to himself.

By speaking openly, she discovered she was experiencing a bout of depression and wasn't unfaithful. In other words: before jumping to conclusions, it's necessary to talk, listen, and empathize.

How to solve marital problems

The first step is recognizing that there's a problem. Many couples ignore the obvious signs for fear of confrontation or "stirring up trouble." But silence is the greatest enemy of reconciliation.

Speaking with maturity is essential. Instead of pointing out mistakes, it's better to use phrases like "I felt..." instead of "You did..."

This prevents the other person from becoming defensive. I had a personal experience where a frank, calm, and non-accusatory conversation saved my relationship from a seemingly irreversible crisis.

Seeking professional help can also make a difference. Couples therapy, for example, helps you understand destructive patterns and offers tools to rebuild your relationship.

Another important tip: rebuild the good times together. Sometimes couples need to reconnect.

It could be a trip, a special dinner, or simply a walk holding hands reminiscing. Affection is a muscle: if you don't exercise it, it atrophies.

And finally, don't compare your relationship to others'. Social media only shows the bright side of things. Every couple has ups and downs. The important thing is to look inward, not sideways.

A healthy relationship requires ongoing effort. It's not a fairy tale, but a daily decision.

And even when it seems like all is lost, there's always a chance to rebuild. If there's respect, dialogue, and sincere love, it's always worth trying again.
