Amy Morin is a psychotherapist, licensed clinical social worker, mental strength coach, and international bestselling author of "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do."

The most common mistakes that couples make are not actively listening to one another, taking their partner for granted, and pushing aside problems because they don't want to cause an argument.

Yet there isn't a manual that describes the skills, strategies, and ingredients necessary for a successful relationship. In their quest for a healthy relationship, many couples try to avoid the same mistakes their parents made — or copy a couple who seems genuinely in love after many years. While these strategies can be helpful, they won't necessarily prevent couples from making mistakes. As a therapist, I see many couples make the same relationship mistakes. Time and time again, my job becomes helping them heal from the damage their missteps have done to their relationships over time. Fortunately, acknowledging these mistakes — and taking steps to reverse them — can repair and strengthen relationships.

Here are the most common mistakes most couples make.

How long should I wait to text a Ghoster?

But, there are a few circumstances where reaching out might make sense. If any of the following apply to you, wait a week or two to cool down, then compose a text. Ruby Payne, sex and relationship expert at UberKinky, a leading adult toy retailer, says being stood up or ghosted after four dates is grounds for a text.

Ghosting is a haunting phenomenon. It happens when the person you’ve recently started dating stops contacting you cold turkey. Hilary Weinstein, LCSW, of HLW Therapy, says, “When a person ‘ghosts,’ they are non-verbally communicating to you that they are not interested, or unsure at best.” Silence is a rotten way to let someone know you no longer want to date them. In fact, part of the reason ghosting is so frustrating is because there are no specifics! The person on the receiving end is left wondering if things are totally dead and if so, why?

We like to understand why things happen. When we’re ghosted, not only do we not know why, we begin thinking we’re the problem. “[Ghosting] often starts the spiral of narratives of negative self-talk, insecurities, and replaying interactions to try to guess ‘what went wrong,’ or ‘wasn’t enough,’” says Weinstein. This is why that urge to text after you’ve been ghosted is so strong. We want our control back! All these emotions—anger, fear, hurt—swirl around and we choose the only weapon available to us: our phone.
