10 Relationship Tips
It’s always the single people giving out relationship advice right? Well anyways, we are all entitled to an opinion and here is mine. I have developed 10 keep elements that I feel are essential to ensuring a healthy relationship. Relationships are a full-time job and dating in this generation only makes the job harder. But let me tell you when you have someone that is truly worth it, someone that brings the stars closer for you reach, everything they say and do is sweet.. you fight to keep them happy and in your life.
#1:
ALWAYS keep God first. Go to church together, pray together and pray for one another. The relationship and love you have for God will reflect in the way that you love others. It is always the key to staying grounded with one another.
#2:
Communicate. TALK TO EACH OTHER. I can’t stress enough the importance of being able to openly communicate with the person you love. Communication allows for you to consistently let your partner know your likes, dislikes, what's going right or wrong, how you feel or what's bothering you. Those are important factors because we are constantly changing and so are the things we can and cannot tolerate. Your partner needs to be aware of those changes to ensure your relationship can adapt along with the both of you.
#3:
You have to trust one another so you can completely commit yourself to someone without the fear and worry of heartbreak. If you don’t trust the person you are choosing to be with you will never be able to fully commit because the thought of them doing something to hurt you will not allow you to give that person all of you.
#4:
ALWAYS make your partner feel loved. Find new ways to make them happy. remind them why you chose to be with them. Relationship typically goes through a dry phase every now and then. It will seem as if the fire has died down and the distance between the two of you began to grow. This is your time to step up and do whatever it takes to get the fire started again.
#5:
TELL THE TRUTH no matter how bad the circumstances may be. Be brutally honest with each other. Trails and hardships will come. They will test the strength of your foundation but in order to get through anything you go through it starts with telling the truth,
#6:
Be there for one another emotionally, physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually. Become best friends & comfort one another. We all go through things and being in a relationship means that you take on the pain, struggles, and hardship of the one you love. It is pertinent that you be there for the partner. You have to provide peace and balance for each other.
#7:
Establish a friendship. This will determine the strength of your bond and connection. The foundation of a relationship is built on friendship. Becoming friends makes the relationship flow better. It makes it easier to be open and honest.
#8:
BE UNDERSTANDING and learn to forgive because people will make mistakes but if you have something good make it work through hard times. We are human and this is not an excuse for cheating.
#9:
Search for something worth loving inside of your partner like their mindset, drive, ambition, personality. etc. Do not choose to be with someone based on what they have or what they can be for them. See past what's on the outside and love them for their inner (look at their heart and mind). Love them for who they are.
#10:
LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. love does not judge, love is sweet, kind, forgiving, understanding, genuine, honest, loyal. When you love unconditionally, you see past the flaws, you tuck away your insecurities and doubts and you show your significant other that they are worthy of being loved.
