5 Major Hotspots To Consider to Have A Better Relationship With Your Partner

To build good relationships especially with your partner, you need to have a better understanding of yourself and your partner. You must know that each personality type has a different set of needs and desires in a relationship. Generalization is the biggest mistake we make as humans.   

We use the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® in our process to help you build a better relationship with your partner. The MBTI® reports discuss five common hotspots you and your partner can learn to improve your relationship.                                                                                                                                                                   

1) Communication 

Communication is an essential element of human life and every individual has a unique natural communication style. There are some personality type preferences that lead to differences in communication styles.   

At VedArdha, the MBTI reports we use in the process provide you a detailed report based on your MBTI® assessment. It provides you a framework through which you can interpret such preferences in a completely non-judgmental way.

So, it offers you a broader insight into the personality of your partner and prevents you from responding in an impulsive or irrational manner. 

It helps replace negative emotions with broader understanding. Gradually, it strengthens the bonds between the two of you and helps you to communicate better with lesser misunderstandings.  

2) Conflicts  

Conflict is always there around us and every couple will face some kind of conflict sooner or later - some trivial , some more serious !

The MBTI® reports that we provide will help you identify your own conflict triggers and the best way to manage them. As a matter of fact, all 16 MBTI® personality types tend to approach conflict in a different manner altogether.  Our awareness of it will help us strategize better in all three departments of coping with conflict, which are as follows:
A. Approaching conflict
B. Communicating effectively during a conflict situation
C. Resolving a conflict       

3) Affection & Intimacy

Every individual has a different style of expressing love and affection. Similarly each individual has a different set of expectations when it comes to romance and intimacy. If you don’t understand the personality type and the preferences of your partner, it can be disappointing.

Our MBTI® reports are aimed to simplify this otherwise complex phenomenon. Rather than having ideal and unrealistic expectations, it helps you identify the romantic style of your partner and hence consciously create a romantic experience you are craving for.  

It’s a win win situation for both of you. Once you know these differences, you can discuss your needs and negotiate it with your partner rather than keeping mum, expecting moon and wallowing in gloom and pessimism.   

4) Handling Money
Money is also an important aspect of life - hence how you handle money as a couple is important too !  

The MBTI® report will highlight how you and your partner being different personalities approach money management very differently. Some could be careful about how they spend money, some may not be. Some could be regarded as miserly while some could be regarded as spendthrifts. Whichever way, MBTI® framework provides a collaborative way so both you and your partner can handle money matters better.  

Money is a sensitive issue folks. The MBTI® report will also help you and your partner identify your individual biases in handling money. This helps you plan better as a couple without being judgmental about each other's money handling styles. In such situations, acknowledge what’s right and doable without being judgmental and impulsive around your core beliefs about money.    

5) Handling Chores

As far as MBTI® personality types are concerned, different personality types approach things differently when it comes to handling household chores. 

For certain personality types it can be a draining obligation, while for others household chores come naturally. Similarly, some are generally good at maintaining chores but they can lose focus when they have something more urgent in front of them. Some will preferably work better with a schedule or a to-do list.

Whichever way, an MBTI® framework will highlight these individual differences in approach, so you and your partner can think of a solution that works better for both of you.
