Majority of us have
this sitcom fantasy of how relationships are supposed to go when in reality
there's no relationship like Ray Romano's on Everybody Loves Raymond.
Relationships don't come with amusement and you can't just skip over the
complexities or uncomfortable conversations that are necessary to take your
relationship to the next level. Apparently, relationships take effort and
work on a daily basis to ensure stability and foundation. Hence, below are some things you need doing to instill a faultless and
nearly perfect relationship.
Respect
There's a reason why
Aretha Franklin's hit single 'Respect' is still relevant and alive today. Everyone deserves to be respected no matter the status, age, race or colour; at their workplace, in public with
strangers, and most importantly in their very own relationship. If there's no
respect, there's no relationship.
Support
The most important figures in your support system should be your significant other. Be it when they come to you for advise on a life-changing decision, emotionally,
and in times of distress. Your life partner should be by your side always, and there to
catch you when you fall.
Compassionate
Being compassionate
towards your spouse or significant other is non negotiable. Hence, they should be
the one to go out of their way to ensure that you are physically and mentally
in good health. If you're with someone who isn't concerned about your mental or
physical well-being, it's time to end your relationship and look for someone
who's genuinely compassionate.
Sense
Of Humor
Not everyone has to
match your level or sense of humor especially being that everyone isn't your
average Jerry Seinfeld but, you should be able to share a joke or something
funny with your life partner. No one wants to be with someone who can't take a
joke or has Aspergers and can't feel emotional humor.
Goals
Successful
relationships use goals and check off their list of milestones together in
order to progressively maneuver throughout life as a team. Whether they are
individual goals or goals as a couple, having the right person by your side
will make you feel invincible.
The
Little Things
Sometimes, it's not all
about conquering the world and chasing the big dreams of a couple as powerful
as Jay Z and Beyonce but, to enjoy the simple and little things in life. From
enjoying a quiet and simplistic dinner together, to going to the cinema, and to watching waves crash at the
beach. Sometimes, the small things make all the difference.
Admitting
To Your Mistakes
Let's face it, no man
or woman in the earth is perfect. Thus, we're bound to make
a mistake in the midst of our relationships. But, we should all be man/woman
enough to not only to admit when we make mistakes but, to be able to clearly
communicate about what we've done and ensured that the mistake won't become
repetitive.
Communication
The lines of
communication within a relationship need to stay consistently open. There's no
way in the world anyone can have a successful relationship without clear lines
of communication. How in the world would you expect to know what your
significant other needs if you don't communicate with each other? However, when you communicate, pay attention to understand instead of just to respond.
Enjoying
Each Other's Company
Understandably, everyone requires some personal space at times. No one should be subjected to
being stuck to the side of their significant other. However, you should be able to
enjoy the time you spend together. If you don't enjoy being around your
significant other, this might be saying your relationship is up as a loss.
Sex
Life
A lot of people might
think that this one could be shallow but, a healthy sex life is a must in any
relationship. It might take time to figure out what exactly your significant
other needs and wants from you but, once achieved the possibilities are endless
when it comes to the physical intimacy of your relationship.
Out
Of The Box
When in a relationship,
it's easy to become stuck into a routine, and then become bored, and look for sources of
excitement outside of your relationship. Because of this its recommend that you
come together with your significant other and try something new, something outside the normal routine. From extreme sports like bungy jumping, gym to something as
simple as taking up painting. It will bring you closer to your partner.
Complimentary
Encouraging your
significant other to be all that they can be is one thing but, showering them
with compliments is a must as well. Sometimes, your significant other's self-esteem might not be as high as it needs or use to be; hence, it becomes a necessity that you
don't wait for your partner to require your kind words before you regularly compliment your partner.
Through
Thick & Thin
Despite what you might
think, arguments are a sign of a healthy relationship and is also a sign that
you care about each other. But, in the midst of these lows, we have to be able
to navigate maturely through our differences and be considerate of our
significant other's feelings and emotions.
Unconditional
Love
Things might not always
work out in relationships; hence if you love unconditionally, there should be no
regrets. Thus, whether or not you end up with your partner for life or they're just a chapter in your book of life, always love unconditionally and stay true to your
heart.
