Being in a relationship is unpredictable. You can’t anticipate what’s ahead and can only take care of what is today. Sometimes, you might also think of ‘what ifs’ as you go along with your relationship.
I know it’s hard not to think of any possibilities, but worrying about your future relationship is unhealthy.
If you want to know how to get rid of all your worries, read the list below and learn from it.
Here, I will be covering six effective strategies to stop worrying about the future of your relationships.
1. Let God be the center of your relationship.
The more you allow God in your relationship; blessings will overflow. Better assurance of a long-lasting relationship is when you find a person who loves God more than you.
Faithfulness, humility, and so on can be seen in a person who has Christ in him/her. Hence, worrying is less of an option because you are guaranteed that your partner is trustworthy.
2. Never compare your relationship.
I know you can’t help but think how amazing other couples are. You are probably often bombarded with pictures of sweet couples online or quickly assume things you see. When you feel like being jealous or insecure, remind yourself that what you usually see are only highlights. Don’t get caught up in someone else’s story because you never know what’s behind it.

3. Accept that there is no perfect relationship.
Some couples fight because they criticize each other and make others feel wrong. But the thing is, even if you were to change a partner, problems would still arise. Recognize that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. It’s alright to fight sometimes, get disappointed, and be mad over small things.
Moreover, if you think that a perfect relationship is possible, then you won’t be able to accept the imperfection of someone standing before you. When you begin to accept it, you worry less about what’s ahead in your relationship.
4. Feed your mind with positivity.
Watch or read books you think can help clear up your mind. Remember that what you usually see or hear has an impact on how you feel. Also, surround yourself with people who motivate you and give you advice not to harm you.
5. Be open to your partner.
Another key to stopping worrying about the future of your relationship is by being open to your partner. Have an intimate conversation as a couple and tell each other things that are bothering you. You can’t get rid of all the worries unless you talk about it in person. Also, it’s a great feeling knowing that you can be transparent with your partner.

6. Appreciate what you have.
You worry less about the future when you know how to appreciate simple things. A simple act of your partner’s kindness and love is something to acknowledge. Don’t just focus on looking at more important things. Sometimes, a small act can change anything that is bothering you.
Sometimes what you look forward to in the future doesn’t always happen. It’s not in the hands of a normal person, but it’s in the hands of the Lord. You don’t choose what will happen, but you can always do something to lessen the burden you want to carry in the future.
I hope the list above helped you figure out how to get rid of worries in your future relationship. It might not be that easy, but everything will be fine when you know who holds your future.
