Many relationships may start out strong and healthy, but then head south. To maintain a
                     healthy relationship, you and your partner must constantly work on its faults. The only way to
                     work on the problems is to know when there is a problem. The following are common
                     problems that couples experience throughout their relationship.

                     Relationship starts to become abusive. A good number of healthy relationships have been
                     destroyed from verbal, physical, and psychological abuse. This problem almost always will end the
                     relationship and possible a precious life. If this problem exist, seek outside help.
                     Feeling of depression. This may not be caused by the relationship, but none the less the
                     relationship will suffer for it. Depression is a serious matter and if this problem exists, seek help
                     immediately.
                     Communication breaks down. Has the frequency or priority of communication diminished?
                     Increasingly secretive. Does your partner or yourself try to make their respective personal lives
                     more secretive? Has your partner been making sure that they answer the phone then not telling you
                     who called?
                     Suffering from a bad temper or being critical of your partner. Has your partner or yourself
                     been looking for reasons to fight or break up? Has your partner or yourself became increasingly
                     sensitive? Or has either one of you been pointing out faults that your partner suffers from or has
                     become over bearing?
                     Avoiding conversation. Are most questions answered with a simple "yes" or "no"? Has there been
                     an increase in activities that normally exclude conversation?
                     Preferring to spend most spare-time with friends instead of being together. Does it relieve
                     stress-spending time apart? If the answer is "yes", then the relationship has some serious issues to be
                     worked on.
                     Friends notice diminishing relationship. Have friends asked if there are any problems in your
                     relationship?
                     Feeling that relationship is failing. Any feeling that the relationship is a lost cause?
                     Lose of appetite or major changes in eating habits do to problems in the relationship. Has
                     the frequency of eating diminished? Any major changes in diet?
