The real power of words can hep, inspire, encourage and motivate individuals. And poorly chosen words can kill enthusiasm, impact self-esteem, lower expectations and hold back the aspirations of the people. Here is a new study that has found out the kind of words you interact with your partner indicate whether your relationship is on the rocks.

“A lot of people don't want to tell you if they're starting to feel less happy in their relationship," says Ronald D. Rogge, of the University of Rochester.

In the study the experts have asked the participants to pick out words from the monitor which are related to their partners

As they watched a monitor, they saw three types of words appearing at a time . The following were good words like peace, vacation, or sharing, bad words such as death, tragedy, and criticizing, and partner-related words names or traits.

After the test, the results have shown that participants associating their partner with bad things and difficulty interacting the partner with good things were likely to separate over the next year

"It really is giving us a unique glimpse into how people were feeling about their partners – giving us information that they were unable or unwilling to report," says Rogge.
