Whether it’s a relationship, courtship, or marriage, if certain ingredients aren’t there to bring it to life, it will fall apart in no time. Let me share with you what you need to know about maintaining an everlasting relationship.
Weather
Partners need to spend TIME together no matter how tight their schedule is to get to know each other properly, understand their individual values, and find ways to harmonize them. They should know individual likes, dislikes, favorites, hobbies, and interests. This can be done in many ways; picnics, watching TV or games together, watching a movie, playing sports together, visiting tourist places, etc.
Understanding
Do not be fooled, love or sex do not maintain a relationship, understanding does, especially in marriage. Accepting your partner for who he is helps prevent avoidable confrontations that can lead to breakups. They can’t always be right, learn to FORGIVE each other and learn from past mistakes. Understanding maintains a relationship when things go wrong. Don’t be self-centered; SHARE everything together because your partner is your FIRE SAFE.
Commitment
Being faithful to your partner is an invaluable and rare virtue. Being open and SINCERE even when it hurts would make your partner treasure you forever. Engagement builds TRUST, holds both partners accountable and accountable, and also reduces the risk of STDs.
Communication
Communication sustains relationships, especially when it comes to long distance. It strengthens the bond and is the fuel that keeps the fire burning. It is a way of assuring your partner that you are always there. You must DISCUSS on how to leave the past behind, survive the present and prepare for the future.
Compatibility
Compatibility is the ability to coexist but in this context coexistence must be friendly. Compatibility is not free of problems and disputes, it is not a natural phenomenon; it takes deliberate work from both partners. It works like the LOCK and KEY hypothesis of enzyme-substrate reactions. To be a perfect match, you will need to cut down on some excesses at some points and ‘add’ on others as well. Searching for a perfect person is an endless search, instead, BE THE PERFECT PERSON.
There is no single way to achieve a perfect relationship, what matters is how the fundamental principles are applied and how you learn from experiences.
REMEMBER, DO NOT GO TO THE KITCHEN WHEN YOUR INGREDIENTS ARE NOT COMPLETE, you may have poor cooking.
