Do people really need relationship advice, coaching, etc?

Question

I don't think it is needed because I go by this principle

1. You don't have to do anything special if you are naturally compatible with someone things should just work out, right?

This is just my personal opinion. Please give yours if you are willing.

Some people do , especially if they still love each other but can’t see eye to eye with each other like they use to before. Relationship coaching doesn’t necessarily fix the relationship, it can actually go both ways , some couples decide it’s better to split and some couples decide it’s better to work on the relationship and stay together. Once they figure out what was causing them to fight and argue with each other in the first place. Relationship coaching is usually done by a certified professional, that specializes in relationships. They are there to observe and listen and to try to help the both of you to figure things out and come to a compromise solution, especially if they are both stubborn and level headed and only see things their way. So there is nothing wrong with going to counseling if the both of you can’t agree on things , and the both of you are unsure whether you should stay together or go your separate b ways love. If you go to a relationship counselor thinking it’s going to save your relationship or marriage , then you might be in for a rude awakening. Most counselors are trained to get the truth out of the both of you and to see if your relationship is worth saving or go your separate ways.

Nah I’m gonna say that we can all benefit from another perspective and Meaningful advice at times.

People can easily get distracted because “life” and without meaning to loose their focus on on their better half , sometimes even taken them for granted or even just over using how supportive they are and leaning into them a little.

Additionally , we all change and the relationship can change with it sometimes facing struggles you never knew were ahead of you and it would be foolish to think that you could handle them perfectly first time.

Case in point being , I have been the rock , the cheerleader , the strength my current relationship when it was necessary and so has my lady when I mentally fell apart.

Personally I feel it’s a little naive to think that relationships should just “work” when 2 people are “ compatable “ because you just can’t know until it’s been tested.

When someone is there to catch you when it feels like your whole world just imploded that’s when you know your compatable until then it’s just thought to be or maybe even just blind faith because he / she tells you it’s love. Words can be just words … it’s actions that count

I wouldn't be in a relationship with a man if we constantly have to "WORK" on it.
When you've been in a relationship that you didn't have to work so hard to keep it together you would know that you can be with someone who you love each other, play with each other, enjoy the simple things in life together, and laugh together.
That's the type of relationship I had with my first husband, and with my late boyfriend.
When your relationship flows smoothly and you speak to each other with respect, it goes a long way.
I've been in relationships that lasted for years! Year's of complete and utter misery.
Find someone who is your type that you get along great with because loving each other shouldn't be a JOB!

I kinda see it both ways actually… 😌

Well, if 2 people click tho, it feels effortless.. I see

But at the same time, even the best connections hit bumps, n u know sometimes advice just gives u a different lens..

So, I don’t think it replaces real compatibility though, just that part u can’t fake..

Tell me, hbu do u ever find yourself looking for outside perspective or just trust the flow? 😎👊🏻

Ah, the age-old debate! As a relationship coach, my aim here is to unravel the mystery behind love without the magic wand—because even magic needs direction sometimes. Compatibility is fantastic, but communication and understanding can turn spark into fire or maintain a steady glow. 🌟 Love isn't always a fairytale; it's more like a rollercoaster with unexpected drops and delightful loops. Need advice? Only if you want the ride to be smoother and more thrilling! 😄

It's not always about the need. It's about the want to be better. Think about the biggest body builders they still have trainers and coaches even thou they are already the most muscular people in the world when you measure their muscle mass compared to weight. They are already very good at working out they are very capable without help. However the trainer makes them better then they can be alone. To be the best you never stop trying to be better. Same goes for a relationship if you want it to get better asking advice is good place to start.

Crankor · Answer

Yes absolutely. As is, the views of what's the "right" way to do things is so skewed with social media and TV giving their own ideas of what it should be like. A good coach or psychologist actually knows the results of these silly stereotype methods that are leading to more separations and mostly guys rather staying single to avoid the unrealistic expectations of a lot of the media obsessed women. But also it gives you a good idea on how people view you and if or what you should be mindful of about yourself

dwreborn · Answer

If you were smart you should take all the advice information and whatever else you can use and use it because you never know I thought I would be with my wife forever and after 25 years its over and I wish we had gotten advice before it was to late now I've got to get over the thought of losing my marriage without even really trying to fix it and I prob will never get over the what ifs

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Yeah, everybody needs advice, it's why we have each other.. And accumulation of knowledge and the passing on of it is how humans have thrived throughout history.. I don't think we need as much as if given out today, but generally humans always need guidance..

Things workout if you work on them.. Even if two people are the most aligned a couple could be, it could still fall back..

dragoblack · Answer

Absolutely.
the amount of relationships i have seen that have little to no communication about any of their problems is so friggin common, even in dating. It's all about testing, playing mindgames, and hinting, while always assuming "they should just know, i shouldn't have to tell them". Then the petty after reactions, cheating, and dishonesty.

Are there a lot of stupid, insecure, malformed personalities out there? Yes!

Can those people be coached or trained into well balanced, intelligent adults? No!

Not in a million years. Stupid is forever.

strateguy632 · Answer

I agree if she says we need counseling, say "nah we just aren't working we should break up". If you feel you need counseling, don’t offer it, just dump her and find someone compatible.

RxR0954 · Answer

Honestly you might not need it but others do. It’s not just about “how to get a partner”, lots of time it is about complex conflicts, domestic violence, entrapment,…

Nikki1989 · Answer

Nah. Much like dating sites.  If you have a confident personality and use common sense, you won't need any of that garbage.

Zionne · Answer

I agreemif you’re truly compatible with someone, things should feel effortless and natural. Most “work” in that case is just staying clear, respectful, and present, not forcing anything. Compatibility makes connection flow on its own.

Yes, I was very awkward and afraid around girls. I did not have a girlfriend until I was 19 and in college. I did have a couple of female friends that helped met through this difficult time.

BonzoInBitburg · Answer

I got some coaching after my divorce and it made dating incredibly easy. Most people are clueless when it comes to relationships.

FreyaRed · Answer

No. I have the hardware and I have the software, I just don't have the illusion and dedication anymore.

i_Jedi · Answer

Yeah, a lot of people do. Sometimes you’re too close to your own mess to see it clearly. Advice or coaching can give you that outside perspective and a little push to stop repeating the same mistakes.

jazzy34 · Answer

Of course. Some people are seriously immature regarding relationships.

ChillDude4L · Answer

I don't, but some might, whatever works man. But for me it doesn't matter as I don't want to be in one in first place.

msc545 · Answer

You may not need such advice but others do. Just because you can do without it doesn't mean others can do without it. You are personal experience is not a measure of what is needed by the whole world.
