Keys to staying in a relationship


I don't really know who said this but i quote...to thine own self be true..

Faith indeed comes by hearing and hearing by the word...i believe its continual hearing that makes the difference.

I have a confession to make...I have faltered too many times over this issues that i bring to the fore in my articles. I haven't had great relationships myself, sometimes i actually forget the things i say and do the opposite. But guess what everything i have written down here are testimonies to the things i continously and consciously strive to do in my relationships which i guarantee would work for you.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but we all don't want to die.This applies as well in its entirety to wanting to have a lasting relationship.There are ground rules, attributes, characters and behaviours that need to be cultivated and worked upon to achieving the set goal and until we get a grip of these things, chances are we would keep on failing in our relationships, even when our partners and spouse(s) really love and care about us, we might choke them of the love they have for us.

Enlisted below are a few pointers to having a great and lasting relationship, its something you know but are somehow just forgetting and neglecting...try them and lets see..

- If you are immature, please grow up.

- If you are selfish, get over it.

- If you are impatient, learn being resolute and calm.

- If you don't have a sense of humor, get one.

- If you're always anxious, relax

-If you're too serious, loosen up, learn spontaneity.

-If you're too demanding, soften your approach

-If you are jealous, develop trust.

-If you enjoy holding a grudge, let it go

- If you are controlling, learn equality

- If you're not trustworthy, develop honesty

- If you're too submissive, learn to assert yourself

- If you're rigid, learn flexibility

- If you're unforgiving, let it go

-If you're arrogant, learn humility

- If you're argumentative, learn to listen.

-If you're boring, enlighten yourself.

Relationships are institutions, we just simply have to go through them.They help mould our lives.It's a place of learning.

Strive to know yourself, find your centre and be the best you can be. Remember, every thing, and i include, every relationship, is for a purpose.It's advisable to make the best of whatever you're in right now.
