It will amuse you and equally come as a shock to discover that in many instances it is an accepted norm to point an accusing finger at your partner or spouse for any rift or misunderstanding, fallout or breakup in your once truly romantic and passionate relationship.
It is also ironical that many lovers do not see anything wrong in their actions nor consider that they just might be a contributor to the outcome in their relationship.
Shared below are 3 tips (consider them as part of best relationship rules if you must) that will help out in your quest to have and enjoy the best of your spouse and relationship:
1. You must both love one another genuinely, sincerely and passionately. Worst case scenarios with a failing or troubled relationship has selfishness as an underlying factor to contend with.
When your love for your spouse is based on or is as a result of what you alone stand to gain out of the relationship, it is doomed to fail someday. At the instance your expectation becomes disappointed or your hopes are dashed, your love for your partner or spouse becomes stifled.
Love based on physical beauty, strong and lean physique or demure stature, money, social status or position, sexual gratification or potential for procreation, culinary expertise for special meals, gourmets and delicacies, academic prowess, etc should be discouraged. When any of these is no longer enjoyed or available, out goes love and out you go too with the end of the relationship more than certain.
Love and accept your spouse unconditionally (for who he or she is 'with no strings attached').
2. You must have at least one need (of course, there are several) to meet in the life of your partner or spouse. In the same way, there must be a specific role or need your spouse must be able to meet in your life too.
This explains in part the relevance of your spouse and gives a bearing on the presence of your partner in your life.
You are required to share with one another in all things.
3. You must speak each others' language. The need for the two of you to communicate effectively cannot be over emphasized. This goes beyond tribal, cultural or ethnic lines.
You must understand your partner or spouse's feelings, mood swings, happy and joyful moments, sad and moody times, character and temperaments, strengths and weaknesses, choice and use of words, gestures and body movements, verbal and non-verbal communications, etc.
You must read your spouse's perceptions, movements and reactions like a book inside out. Understanding the kind or type of person your partner is important in growing and developing best relationship.
All that has been shared and considered is a good place to start in making the necessary and required adjustments in the event it is discovered you are lagging behind in one area or the other.
It is never too late even as you come to the realization that there is still something you can do in giving your relationship another best shot and the chance for survival.
Do the needful and you are on your way to having, living and enjoying the best of relationships with your partner or spouse.
