Understanding the difference between High Standards & Unrealistic Expectations in your Relationship can make for a successful relationship or for one that causes you and your partner much pain! Standards are factual, they are the baseline of equality that drives effective actions and good decision making. Expectations on the other hand are internal and can lead to disappointment when they don’t match with what others deliver. Communication is so vital in a relationship and we must communicate our expectations with our partner if we expect to have a healthy, strong and lasting relationship. We cannot settle nor lower our standards because deep inside we know what we want and need and settling for less than that will keep us far away from the happiness we can experience. Don’t miss out on living the heck out of your life by settling for someone who doesn’t make you better when you’re with them.
