September 25, 2015
Guest post by Sarah Sandra;
A relationship is a way in which two or a group of people or things are relatively or strongly bound and connected to each other. We are indeed talking about human relationships which are just like a bond that lets you connect to a person or a thing. Usually, this bond is visible through love, care, respect and many other factors which are commonly termed as attraction and affection. In humans, it is generally the state of being concerned and connected by love, marriage or blood. There various types of relationships are usually bound to:
- Blood.
- Love.
- Business.
- Respect.
- Sex.
- Rivalry.
- Emotions.
- Friendship.
- Hate.
The list is endless and difficult to cover at this time. The motto is to give a brief idea what exactly relationship means in our society. Communication is the main and most important key to build and maintain a healthy and fruitful relationship. The very first thing to consider in a relationship is what you expect and want from each other. It is very important to keep yourself in the same pace for a good and healthy relationship. There are some points to consider for a good and strong relationship bond:
- If in your relationship something is bothering you, just speak up and spit out what going on in your mind.
- Compromise is the key for a healthy relationship. You sometimes have to ignore many bitter truths of life and go on.
- The very best thing is to give respect to your partner so that you can get some in return.
- Support all the right cause of your fellow to maintain a strong bond.
- Everyone is bound to their own privacy which you need to respect at all cost. This doesn’t mean you have to share each and every bit to each other.
There are always many Do’s and Don’ts in almost everyone’s open-relationship in order to instantly maintain it and to make it more strong and long lasting. The deeper you dive in a relationship the more it gets complicated. It is now your duty to make it forever fresh and an ideal deal for others. Let us now see what sort of things we should follow and what to avoid making our relationship happening with someone.
DO’S:
- Quality Time: Spend some quality time with each other. The more good and happening time you are going to spend with each other the more strong it will get. Either it is family, friends or work relation, quality of good time is very important. It doesn’t mean you have to spend hours of inappropriate time with each other. Don’t waste hours of communication; just give a few fruitful and best moments to each other. It is just because you want to make each other happy.
- Likes and Dislikes: Talk in detail about each other’s likes and dislike. The more you know each other the better understanding will be developed between you and him/her. Accept few of his/her dislikes that can be later convinced to be accepted, if it is something good for the other partner.
- Complement: The best thing is to complement each other without any reason. Never forget to do this little thing as it will cost nothing but the return is just too unexpected. You just need to trust this, it makes a huge difference.
- Kiss: If you are in a love relationship than kissing each other can make a big difference as it opens up your heart for a new beginning. Kiss is not limited to husband and wife or girl friend and boy friend but a mother or father can kiss their children and even children can kiss their other blood relations on cheeks, forehead or hand.
- Listen: Listen to each other as much as you can. Try to understand what the other person is telling or explaining you. You need to understand the situation he/she is going through.
- Gifts: Give frequent gifts to each other as this enlightens anyone’s day and encourages him/her to perform better in his/her life. For a good and healthy relationship, it is not necessary you expect a gift worth million dollars. Something costing few bucks can simply make your day and accept that.
- Flaws: Accept his/her flaws so that he can also do the same. Everyone is neither perfect nor an angel. If he/she is accepting what you are then it is your turn to accept the very truth of someone else whether it’s your colleague, someone from family or friends.
- Encouragement: Encouragement is a key that also makes one relationship with someone strong and happening. Encouragement in career, studies and many other fields can form a long-lasting strong bond that is hard to temper.
- Trust: when we talk about relations, we talk about trust that should never be broken at any cost because it is one thing ever relation is based on. The stronger the trust, the better relationship you can acquire.
- Space: Give each other a desirable space so other can do whatever he/she wants independently. It is just because everyone needs some time for themselves where they don’t want to interfere in it.
DON’TS:
- Solving Problems: If you are in a relationship this doesn’t mean the other person is responsible for solving your miserable problems. If he/she is doing that it’s their will but these problems are yours and created by you and you have to solve them all by yourself.
- Easy Relationships: If you think long-lasting relationships are easy then you are kidding me because they are not. Life is not what we think and expect, it is way more than that filled with many minute details.
- Overpower: A person never loses a relation by love but by holding back to it. In every kind of relationship, you have to give another chance. Don’t try to overpower the personality of other by imposing your likes and dislikes.
- Secrets: It is better not to open all your lifetime secrets to anyone in your relationship because when a relation is broken, all the trust is shattered that may lead to an unwanted announcement of someone’s secrets.
- Fake Feelings: Never fake your feelings for someone as you will be imposing some false expectations to the other person and when he/she will know the truth then the consequences will be very harsh.
- Past Experiences: This one is a huge obstacle to pass. Don’t bring your past experience in your current relationship. Better to keep them hidden where they belong. For a fresh relation, go for a fresh start and forget about your past.
- Stay Quite: Try to stay quiet and mingle less if your partner or another person from a relationship is in an annoying or aggressive mood. Staying quiet can lead to solve many upcoming problems.
- Eliminate Hateful Grudges: If you want to stay in a good relationship eliminate all sorts of hateful grudges so that you both can bond easily.
- Change: Don’t try to change someone just because you don’t like something in someone and for God sake don’t try to be bossy because the moment you do that you will lose all your healthy bond with the other.
- Strength: Never judge anyone’s strength. If someone says that I can’t hold you up, this doesn’t mean he is not willing to love you but the meaning is he is still struggling for that.
There are millions of factors to strengthen any kind of relationship but focusing on few of the above points can lead to a happy and prosperous long-lasting relationship. So get back and work on each of your relationships and try to make it as healthy as possible.
