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." As a therapist, Morin has counseled many couples who are facing challenges in their relationship and, despite having the best intentions, continually repeat the same mistakes. 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.

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.
