Mawawala ba naman ba siya kung sa simula palang e inalagan mo na ng tama siya at ang relasyon?




Nourish the love. Be affectionate. Love is the glue that keeps people together in relationships. After all, it’s hard enough living with somebody that you DO love. Lovers should also be friends.


Avoid ultimatums. Ultimatums are very dramatic and can easily grab attention. They can also get you into big trouble fast.


Be forgiving. Everyone makes mistakes. I suspect that every relationship has moments when any self-respecting man or womanshould pack his or her bags and move out. The bottom line is, do youreally want to? Because if you don’t, you could be complicating thingswith a show of temper. Then, again, sometimes statements arenecessary. Think it through but be ready with forgiveness when thetime comes for reconciliation.


Listen and communicate. Whether your partner wants to tell you a deep dark secret or just waffle about their day, learn to really listen to them. There is often no need to give an opinion or offer advise, just having someone that really listens to you can strengthen a relationship. When your partner speaks to you try to stop what you are doing and look at them.


Have fun. Relationships shouldn’t be all work, but sometimeslearning how to have fun is actually quite a challenge. Learning how tolaugh at ourselves can speed up this process greatly. Laughter can alsobe very disarming and a touch of humor is the fastest way to breaktensions. If you aren’t blessed with a good sense of humor already,don’t despair. It can be learned.


Know your own boundaries. Fairy tales and soap operaromances would have us believe that the purpose of a healthy match is to immerse ourselves in one another. Nothing could be further fromthe truth. Once we lose our boundaries in a relationship, it is only amatter of time before it dies. Shakespeare spoke of this in Romeo andJuliet. Again, because this, too, is a violation of individuality, it simplyisn’t allowed to continue.


Maintain a strong sense of self and know who you are. As far as I’mconcerned, we come to this planet to learn individuality and free will. We do, indeed, create our own realities. Because our major lesson in life is selfhood, relationshipsthat don’t honor this fact do not last. We cannot complete ourselves inanother; it simply isn’t allowed. It is also important to realize thathuman beings have very addictive personalities. While some folks maythink that they want to have happy lives and good relationships, theyare actually much too addicted to the drama of being able to tell sadstories.


Fight fair. It’s healthy to fight. It clears the air and keepsresentments from building. However, keeping the fight to the matter athand is crucial. Never, ever, make proclamations such as “You’re justlike your mother”, etc. Remember, too, that although most of what weare shown in this world is us versus them, a relationship is built on apartnership model.


Be honest, but not brutally so. There’s a fine line between what you could say and what you truly need to say. Be aware of where it is and don’t cross it.
