To live to find hope. .

Do you? .

Healthy Relationships Are A Must!

The happiest relationship is not dominated by a single partner. Relationships are about sharing your life. If creating a loving and long-lasting relationship is one of your goals, you should always be honest and genuine.

The great writer Theodore Dreiser said. “I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.”

If you don’t want the “thorny existence of love,” one should always give serious thought to what they want in their relationship and to always make sure that they maintain their own self-esteem and confidence while in any relationship as well as the self-esteem and confidence of their partner.

List of things Not to Do in Your Relationships

Give or make hurtful comments

Play the assumption game

Bring up the past

Hold grudges

Snoop on their cell phone

Put other people, not in your relationship first

Giving solutions when the person is really looking for a listening ear

Being judgmental and thinking you are above others

Being defensive to criticism

Telling people what to do

Being aloof; Not being responsive

Thinking you know it all

Being a complainer or a nagger

Cheat Comparing them to others

Losing your sense of self

Taking shots at each other

These are just a few of the not to do things in any relationship. But perhaps the biggest one of them all is remembering to never play the part of being a critic.

Remember even though the critic may be right. The critic will never win. Why? Because the critic may think and believe what they are pointing out, the flaws, in their message of their victim, will find that their message cannot and will not win them any prize in love, because he or she who discerns the flaws of their partners reduces their chances of reaching the goal of being in a compatible relationship, as we journey on the road to finding happiness… etc.,…etc.,… Because the critic makes it hard to reach that point because they are always being too critical. You get the picture.

Still, was you are making your you are doing what is needed to make your relationship work, remember that No relationship can flourish on love alone.

In order for a relationship to survive and thrive, you need a partner who is willing to work at nurturing the relationship. In addition, your partner must be able to be trusted, and respected. As well as they must be attentive, kind, loyal, patience, a good communicator, have empathy, and understanding, and finally the ability to compromise.

Finally, don’t ever forget that self-love is never selfish, and perfection does not exist. We are all doing the best we can with what we know how. All our past loves lost, hurts felt, and betrayals received and or given, where learning tools to help us move forward and focus on the moment at hand.

For this life is a journey that we take one day and one step at a time, on the road to a healthy fulfilling relationship.
