Be Completely Honest
Honesty is the best policy, but not if it’s brutal. You have to be careful here. You want to tell your partner the truth but it’s best to filter your words to make sure they’re kind. You don’t have to say every thought you think. Make it your goal to share things that are helpful, not hurtful.
Problems Will Work out in Their Own Time
It’s true that time can help with certain situations. But you shouldn’t rely solely on that to work problems out. You need to deal with whatever situations arise. That usually means talking about the issue and sharing your feelings. You may have to try to find a compromise. The one thing you don’t want to do is ignore a problem and hope it will go away.
Don’t Have Any Secrets
You may have heard that the best relationships don’t have secrets. I beg to differ! While it’s great if you have an awesome connection and can talk about anything, you need to keep some things private. Let there be a little mystery in your relationship. It keeps your romance hot!
Work Every Issue out Immediately
I used to stress myself out over this every time my husband and I had a disagreement. I felt like it was the end of the world if we didn’t solve it immediately. But now, with more experience on my side, I realize that sometimes the best thing to do is give each other time and space. It allows you both to think things over and then you’ll be more ready to work things out. You’ll also be much calmer than if you push to work things out in the middle of an argument.
Your Partner Should Completely “Get You”
My husband knows me. He understands a lot of what makes me tick and what my opinions are on a variety of issues. But does he completely “get me”? Nope. He doesn’t understand why I need 17 lipsticks in different shades of pink or agree with my devotion to taking a daily vitamin. But that’s okay and it’s okay if your guy doesn’t understand every little thing about you.
Having a Baby Will Fix Your Relationship
Girls, listen to me closely on this point! Babies are wonderful, precious blessingss that can make your life have a deeper meaning and can help you love each other in new ways. But it doesn’t come without it’s own set of stress that’s actually harder on your relationship. This’s especially true if you aren’t ready to have a baby. Make sure you’re both ready to put away your youth and are financially secure before you consider becoming parents.
Love is All You Need to Make It Work
Unfortunately, love isn’t all you need. You also need communication, devotion, faithfulness, compassion and kindness, just to name a few attributes. Relationships take work on both parts. If you want your relationship to be successful then you have to make it a priority and give it the attention it needs.
