What TO DO in a relationship.....

Easier said then done.....right

Honesty, Honesty, Honesty, and Directness. And get it, Honesty.

Then a relationship with me can begin, in friendship, real friendship, then we'll see. I don't do the "masks", life and friendship is too precious to waste time with anything less.

So, what to do in a relationship? Start with Honesty.

Yes, and so are the majority of things in life.

Laugh until you cry
Be there for the other
Make sacrifices for the other
Love with all you are

Scritch their head, or their back, or what ever spot makes them go... oh...yah...

Encourage them to cry if they need it... Sometimes everyone needs a good cry...

Support them... how ever they need that support...

Communicate. Communication is THE key.

I use to interview couples when I was lots younger, who had been together for over 50 years or more. And I would ask them, how did you make it.

The majority of them replied:

Number #1 - Communication. We listen to each others opinions. And we can agree to disagree.

Also, I often heard, "I married my best friend"

These couples still smiled at each other in that loving way when looking at each other and talking about each other.

Communication, is the road to success or failure in ANY relationship. It definitely has been in mine.

whispers in the dark are amazing (in their place) but seldom mean as much as what is said & done in the cold light of day. It's just my opinion that it is only in this light you will perhaps see what you truly have and what you do not

ensure you guard your "me time", and make sure your partner has their "me time".

relax......for goodness sakes, clinging too tightly makes someone like me bolt.

if you live together, whenever you get up ask, "hun, can I get you anything while I'm up?"

Enchantress · 03-16-2013, 07:20 PM

Honest
Present
Compassionate
Gentle
Yourself (never lose your own identity)
Independent
Encouraging
and
Respectful.

They'll take you far.

Venus007 · 03-16-2013, 07:38 PM

Know yourself, and be self aware, the older I get the more I see how important this is

Talon · 03-16-2013, 09:25 PM

Love with an open heart...innocently like a child, yet with *everything* that you possess.

~ocean · 03-17-2013, 11:17 AM

~ in my own opinion : ~ I have only been in love 2x's ~ I don't fall in lust ~ I have loved but not in love ~ being a spiritual being I belive God puts ppl in our paths for a reason ~ don't forget how you met ~ what your partner has given to u ~ spirtiualy ~ and what u have given back to them ~ cherrish your connection ~ honor ~ respect eachother ~
(even tho in an arguemnet words get said ) ~ thats how I know my love for hym is endless ~ noone can take hys place ~ I submitt to hys strength ~ follow hys lead ~ I'm not perfect ~ hys guidence keeps me focused ~ my love and devotion I give to only hym ~ realtionships need to be worked on ~ seasoned ~ I will always love hym ~ even if .......~

*Be a good listener.

*Reflect and grow together.

*Pick your battles. Some are just not worth having.

*Forgive. I can struggle with this one. I have experienced lots of hurt and
sometimes it is just hard to forgive those that add to that hurt.

*Don't forget the Romance.

*Be affectionate. Love and Lust...have those moments of pure "rip your clothes off" passion.

But then again, what do I know! lol
