No matter how wonderful your relationship, everyone goes through phases of "not so great". No relationship is immune to larger known issues, nor to the small stuff that leaves us out of sorts with each other. The good news? It's not the end; and it doesn't mean that things won't go back to being love dovey.

What's not so good is that while you're in the middle of a quarrelsome twosome it can be very difficult to look ahead to the time when things will be better. It can also lead us to do some crazy things in the hopes of turning our relationship around to smoother waters.

I understand, I really do, because I've been there. If you want proof, keep reading for a sampling of three of the most common mistakes couples make to put their relationship back on track. Oh, and for the record, I didn't have a baby.

Babies

It's said that this even needs mentioning, but apparently it does. Too many people labor under the illusion that bringing a child into the mix will strengthen their ailing relationship and nothing could be further from the truth. Tricking a partner into an "accidental" pregnancy is nothing short of repugnant.

Invade his privacy

So his cell phone is sitting right there, and he's nowhere to be found. You're thinking that a quick peek at his text messages and email will give you all the insight you need into fixing whatever is wrong. Right? Wrong!! You're delusional if you think that possible law breaking, not to mention a gross invasion of privacy will help you fix your relationship. What is will get you is a break up.

Checking a lover's email, Facebook, text messages...all straight ways to freaking yourself out. Because either you find something that is incriminating against him/her and then you can't use it against them (illegally obtained evidence is inadmissible in court, babies) or you find nothing and you're just a snoop. Lose/Lose.

Moving in together

This kind of goes along with the whole baby thing. Couples have this strange, habitual impulse to move a relationship forward when trouble comes to town. Although completely illogical, I suppose it's also a completely natural response; the idea of facing your problems (and possible the end of your relationship) is such a downer.

Understandable because you figure moving in together is one way of staying close to your partner. But guess what, your problems are going to follow you wherever you go. Though the change of scenery may provide a temporary respite, when your problems resurface, and the will, you now have the added responsibility, and complication, of a shared lease or mortgage.
