Seek advise but do it with intelligence, reduce how much of your relationship you put in the public space be it social media, or tell friends and family when you do this it curtails jealousy, evil eye, bad advice, back-biting. Here are 3 reasons why you should keep your relationship private;

1. It Strengthens The Bond In Your Relationship:

By hoarding the most private information and details of your marriage, you become obliged to [try to] work out differences without external assistance or influence.

Doing this helps you understand each other better, and brings you closer.

Being able to move away from the rough patches of your relationship on your own is great for your relationship because you are reaching decisions based on your personal understanding of your relationship, not from someone else’s perspective of what is right for you or not.

This is the best way to be in a relationship, except when it becomes unreasonable to not seek assistance from trusted sources.

2. Shuts Out Bad Advice:

By keeping the essence of your relationship out of circulation, you actually leave no room for people to pass judgement and give unsolicited advice on how things should be between you and your partner

3. Reduced Pressure:

If you are keeping your relationship between just you and your partner, you are not getting external, irrelevant advice on where you and your partner should be, and what you should be doing as a couple.

This reduces the pressure and you can both move the relationship at a pace that suits both partners.

If details of your relationship are being kept on a really low key, you are in good company on the right path.

N.B: If you’re already keeping your relationship low key, Please don’t stop. Remember the advice is not for you to hide your partner and use it as an excuse to cheat. Nor is it saying family and friends shouldn’t know your partner they should and if you truly love your partner you should show them to those you love and trust…

Remember the relationship is about you and partner’s happiness, not a public jamboree. If your partner is violent and in you’re in an abusive relationship please speak out, and seek help from relationship experts and the government it is not a do or die affair.
