A Must Read for Every Relationship…..
To get the very best from our
relationships we need to understand the rules surrounding it.
It’s one thing to get
attracted, another to love but the most important is
how we keep it going.
Please take time to read,
digest and apply to your relationship.
1. Make your partner your best friend.
Love is important but can fade
away while friendship lasts forever. l have seen love fade
away in relationships and things never got back to being the same. l
have also seen best friends disagree, fight and come back being friends
again. Apply that friendship to your relationship and you are good.
2. Apply wisdom to chose the right partner
We are attracted to people for
all kinds of reasons but most importantly look at
their character,personality,values etc before making a decision.
3. Respect
Respect is reciprocal and act
in ways your partner would always maintain respect for
you.
4. Know how to manage your differences
Disagreements/conflicts don’t
end relationships but strengthens it. Learn how to handle
anger,name-calling and negative feelings that are unavoidable because
of the difference between two people.
5. Have time for each other
Have time for each other and
work hard to be close because that’s the only way you can
know each other better. In its absence, people drift apart and all
of a sudden become strangers to each other.
6. Don’t Lie,Cheat or make promises you can’t keep
Most of what goes wrong in a
relationships can be traced to hurt feelings, leading to
partners erecting defenses against one another and become strangers
or enemies. Stay faithful and committed at all times.
7. Talk,explore and understand
If you don’t like or understand
something your partner is doing, talk about it and why
he/she is doing it. Don’t just assume because you could be wrong. Try
as much as possible to talk issues.
8. Become a team
This is when two unique
individuals with different perspective and
strengths come together to become one.
9. State clearly your needs
A relationship is not a
guessing game. Be clear about your needs and ensure
you support/encourage them.
10. Don’t confuse s*x with love
In the beginning of the
relationship ,attraction and pleasure of s*x are
often mistaken for love.trust me there is more to love than s*x.
