There is no rule book on how to
make a relationship work.
Here are six relationship
principles successful couples already know.
Relationships are hard work
After watching a ton of romantic
comedies in your teenage years, it’s easy to assume that being in a committed
relationship will be a bed of roses — forgetting that even roses have thorns.
Perfect relationships don’t just
happen; they require hard work and dedication. To have a great relationship,
it’s important to have this vital knowledge from the get-go.
Appreciate each other every day
Bouncing off the first point, one
may think making an effort daily is hard work — but it’s not.
Appreciating your partner does
not always have to be grand gestures but instead, it’s the smaller, more
personal efforts that count.
These small gestures make them
aware that you care. Also, use your words. ‘I love you’, ‘Thank you’, ‘I
appreciate you’ are not so hard to say.
So, instead of looking for the
shiniest diamond pendant, you can fill up their car tank or set a glass of
water by their bedside for them to wake up to.
Never to go bed angry
Anger never solves anything.
Instead, it makes you
self-absorbed, limiting your ability to see the situation clearly or from a
different perspective.
Holding a grudge will eventually
kill the relationship.
Be best friends
This may not sound romantic but
you’ll find that those in the happiest relationships say the friendship they
share makes for their best moments together.
So if you’re not already best
friends with your partner, find a way to become friends and stay that way.
Don’t depend on your partner for your happiness
But those who have figured it out
know that only you can make yourself truly happy.
Don’t depend on anyone for your
joy.
You can’t change your partner, only yourself
If that’s your plan, it will most
likely fail.
If there’s a character trait you
don’t like, don’t enter into the relationship with the hopes that they will
change to make you happy.
Instead, be vocal about your
feelings from the onset. If the reason is valid and your partner is reasonable,
they will compromise.
