Early mistakes in relationships that should be avoided
The early stages is a relationship is usually the most fun and rosy part, as everyone is excited about being in love and feeling loved by someone else.
Putting your personal life on hold
During the early days of a relationship, a lot of plans are shelved by both parties so as to bring the compromise needed to coexist. But regardless of the plans and compromise, you should never put your life’s plan on hold. This can lead to frustration for you in the long run.
Moving too fast
You start to feel all excited and want to fast-track some things like wedding plans, meeting his friends etc. If you force your partner to rush some things, you are setting yourself up for eventual failure.
Ignoring red flags
If you notice some things about your new partner, draw his attention to it and let the person know you are not comfortable with that. Don’t ever ignore red flags or hope that they would eventually change.
Bringing old habits to new relationships
There is never a perfect human being in the world, so if you think it is only you that should be loved with your flaws then you are yet to grow into an adult. If your previous relationship ended because you are a spendthrift, then is it reasonable to bring that same habit to the new one?
Not being your true self
If you earn GH¢1,000 a month, please spend your money in the best way you deem fit. You don’t need to impress her so that she will stay with you. If she does not love you and your honest earnings, then what are you doing with her after all? Be calm and remain your true self?
Trying to impress everyone
Because you do not want your guy or lady to be vexed, instead of you saying no to a certain request, you jumped and said yes. You are setting yourself for an eventual failure in the relationship.
Making up excuses
If you see your partner misbehaving, you don’t have to make up an excuse for their behaviour. Tell them they are wrong and let them know your side of the issue. And if they don’t, please find a way out. A bad partner from the start can only go worse.
There are other pointers that an early relationship faces, but do not ignore the above points.
The Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has met first term Members of Parliament to strengthen cooperation between his office and newly elected legislators.
The engagement was organised to help build better working relations and improve communication within the House.
Bagbin stressed the value of open interaction and mentioned that similar sessions will later involve continuing MPs, the media and the public through televised programmes.
He reiterated the 9th Parliament’s goal of promoting openness and inclusion, describing integrity, honesty, civility and participation as key values for national progress.
He encouraged the creation of a mentorship system to allow experienced members to guide new ones.
Bagbin reflected on the growth of Ghana’s legislature over the years, noting a shift from strong partisan conduct to a more mature multiparty atmosphere.
He urged MPs to maintain their party identity while working together for development.
Present at the meeting were the Clerk to Parliament Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, the Deputy Majority Whip Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe and the Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei.

The attention of the Ministry of the Interior has been drawn to information that the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, has survived two assassination attempts while discharging his duties to the Republic.
According to the ministry in a statement, the Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko, mentioned the assassination attempt on Newsfile, a television station in Accra, on December 6, 2025.
He also claimed on the same programme that he had been handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
“Beyond the security implications of these claims, such dangers to personnel of accountability institutions, if true, can undermine the government’s efforts to combat corruption, which have intensified since it took office,” the ministry stated,
The Ministry has therefore taken up the matter with the seriousness it deserves with some preliminary findings on the alleged assassination attempt.
The ministry revealed that initial contacts with Mr. Kissi Agyebeng have revealed that the assassination attempts on him, as claimed, happened before this year.
“There is no record or report of such threats against his life at any police station or at any of the state security agencies in the country,” the statement further added.
Against this backdrop, the Minister of Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak has further directed that “Since crime does not expire, the Ministry has ordered a full-scale investigation into the claim of assassination attempts.”
The Ministry has also ordered an investigation into the claim by Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko that he was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
The Ministry noted that it will update the public on the outcome of these investigations and the actions to be taken.
The Ministry of Interior has reiterated its commitment to protecting all lives and properties to ensure that all Ghanaians can conduct their lawful affairs without any fear for their safety.
