爱情中一定要做和绝不能做的事

 As a psychologist and relationship counselor 1 for over 25 years, I speak from experience when I say there's more to the art of love than we can imagine: people are complex, riddled 2 with flaws and deep desires, desperately 3 seeking to be understood. Practice these 8 relationship dos and don'ts to fortify 4 your romance with harmony, stability, and joy:

作为一位从业逾25年的心理学家和情感咨询师，从经验出发，我会说：爱的艺术要比我们想象得更高深。人是很复杂的，有令人迷惑的缺点和深层次的渴望，而且非常希望能被别人理解。你可以在情感关系中试试以下8件“一定要”和“一定不要”做的事，让你们的爱情关系更加和谐、稳定、愉悦。
Do develop emotional intimacy 5: Emotional intimacy is knowing what your partner needs before they even get a chance to ask. It is picking up on their feelings as if they were your own. Develop a sense of emotional intimacy by being honest with your partner and sensitive to their needs.
一定要建立情感亲密。情感亲密就是知晓伴侣所需，甚至在他们开口之前你就已经知道了。你要关注他们的感觉，就像关注自己的感觉一样。要建立一种情感上的亲密感，你需要和你的伴侣坦诚相待，并敏感地感知他们的需求。
爱情中一定要做和绝不能做的事
Do plan a life together: Our plans may not always work out, but envisioning a future with our partner inspires us to take the right steps towards manifesting our long-term goals. Talk about the years ahead and form a strategy to achieve the things you want together: a home, a family, investments, etc.
一定要一起规划人生。我们的规划不一定会实现，但是和伴侣一起憧憬未来可以激励我们沿着正确的方向朝着长期目标大步迈进。你们可以谈谈未来几年的事，达成一致策略，以实现共同目标：如房屋计划、家庭计划、投资计划等等。
Do bring them comfort: Your partner wants to come home to love, not to a headache. Make your home a place that always reels your partner back because they feel safe, stable, and nurtured 6. Don't start talking about your problems as soon as your partner walks through the door.
一定要让他们感到舒适。你的伴侣希望回家能感受到爱，而不是一回去就头疼。把你的家打造成一个伴侣心之所系之处，让他们感觉安全、稳定、受到关爱。不要伴侣一走进家门，你就开始倾诉自己遇到的问题。
Do act in the right time: Time can be your biggest enemy or your best friend. The wisdom is to recognize when you should act versus 7 when you should wait. Don't obligate your partner to do things in a certain amount of time.
一定要在合适的时间做合适的事。时间可以是你最大的敌人，也可以是你最好的朋友。关键是你要用智慧分辨出什么时候应该有所行动、什么时候应该耐心等待。一定不要强迫你的伴侣在限定的时间内做什么事。
Don't play on their weaknesses: Every day, you have the choice to play on your partner's weaknesses or to reiterate 8 their strengths. If you constantly bring up what they're doing wrong, they'll never feel motivated to do anything right. No relationship can improve under such negative energy.
一定不要拿他们的弱点消遣。你每天都可以选择消遣伴侣的缺点或者反复强调他们的优点。如果你不断地说他们做错了什么，那么他们就永远都不会有做对的动力。在这种负能量作用下，情感关系是不可能向前发展的。
Don't get even: No matter what your partner has done or however they've wronged you in the past, don't retaliate 9 or act in bad faith. Keep your personal karma clean by always treating the other person the way you'd like to be treated, regardless of the way they behave towards you.
一定不要报复。不论你的伴侣做过什么，不论以前他们怎么冤枉过你，一定不要报复或者故意使坏。远离因果报应，希望别人怎样对待你，你就怎样对待别人，不论他们到底是怎么对你的。
Don't assume or blow things out of proportion: Before you throw a tantrum, sit and reflect logically: Is it really as bad as I assume? Speak to your partner openly about what's bothering you instead of blowing up on them.
一定不要胡思乱想或大发脾气。在你发脾气之前，坐下来，理智地思考一下：事情真的像我想象得那么糟吗？开诚布公地和伴侣谈谈让你心烦的事，而不是冲着他们发脾气。
Don't act out of desperation: Think through your decisions a thousand times before you act on them. Acting 10 on desperation will only yield more desperation. If you're desperate to get your partner to change, don't threaten to break up with them when in reality it's the last thing you want to.
一定不要不顾一切采取行动。行动之前，要把你的决策反复咀嚼一千遍。在绝望之中不顾一切，只会带来更大的绝望。如果你非常渴望伴侣做出改变，一定不要威胁他们说要分手——事实上分手是你最不想做的一件事。
