Note: Original articles can be found here and here.I read, I understand, and I write about things that I find interesting and informative. I always believe: If I put forth sincere, honest effort to make things work, things will work out. Same goes to the matter of cultivating a healthy and loving relationship. Most importantly, I do not impose. I practice and I learn fast. :)
#1: Trusts
- A relationship without trust is doomed from the start. A relationship that abounds with trust lays the foundation for real and lasting love.
- Built over time, trust is based on the simple belief system that your partner has your best interests at heart and will never intentionally hurt you (and vice versa).
- You have the assurance that you can count on your partner for almost anything and everything, always (and vice versa).
- If and when you discover that your partner is 100% trustworthy, you will have no trouble giving your heart. In return, your partner will most likely give you their heart and thus, paving the way for a lasting, loving relationship to unfold.
#2: Listens
- Listening is the best way to be genuinely concern and emotionally supportive of your partner in an honest and thoughtful way.
#3: Laughs
- Laughter is the best medicine and the primary ingredient in a relationship.
- You may not be born with an abundant sense of humor but somehow, you will be able to spike your partner's days with a dose of laughter in one way or another.
#4: Connects
- When a relationship works, you and your partner can communicate and collaborate with comfort, compatibility, and undeniable chemistry. If and when you experience this kind of interaction, you are on to something really special.
- When you are apart from your partner for a few hours or a few weeks, for no pinpoint-able reason, reconnection ought to give you the warm-and-fuzzies, even after countless kisses, unlimited hand-holds, and hugs galore.
- Maintaining this kind of "butterfly effects" is a proof that you are putting forth the effort to keep romance alive.
#5: Wants the real you!
- There is no need to hide, tone down, or apologize for any aspect of you or your life. With the right person, you are able to be yourself or even better.
- From complimenting you on an outfit to noticing a new haircut to a for-no-reason-at-all "you are so beautiful or handsome" reminder message, your partner should make you feel proud and appreciated. Inside and out, every quirk, every "flaw", everything about you should be understood and adored.
- Never should you feel the tendency to be a chameleon, adapting to what you think your partner wants you to be. A good partner will go the extra mile to make you feel great about your insecurities.
#6: Enriches
- A healthy relationship begins with you and your partner coming together in a mature way and ready for the great responsibilities that come with love.
- In the wrong relationship, your partner tears you to emotional shreds, brings you down, and in general drains your energy.
- In the right relationship, your partner enriches your life, inspires you to be your best self, and brings a sense of peace and possibility to you.
