A1：Seek the help of family or friends and communicate with them.
Communication is extremely important in any relationship. Importance of Communication has been stressed time and again. Lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.
It is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. They share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. There is a lively atmosphere in such families. They laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-heartedly.
Such is the importance of communication. Compared to this, the families where all the members are busy with their own tasks are usually not as happy. The atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. They plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members.
