When you get married to the love of your life, you want it to last for eternity. With those eternal words “I do”, we yearnfor a long and heaalthy relationship.
This is a vital factor in any type of relationship, whether it is between co-workers, members in a sports team or a couple in a marriage; everyone needs to understand what the other person’s expectations of them are. This way, you can learn if the relationship is the right one to be in or not. Failure to reveal your expectations to your partner is sure to make problems, as they won’t know what they need to do to ensure you are happy.
Having been married for thirty years myself, while I am nocounselor, I do think I know a thing or two about couples. The following values, what I call the 3 keys to a enduring relationship, will be beneficial to any partners, no matter who they are.
The other plus point is that good communication reduces tension in a relationship. Problems should be dealt with together, ideas discussed as partners, decisions reached for both of your benefit. The only way to keep a lid on any tension is to make sure you discuss any important things that impact each other’s lives.
Communication
A lack of communication is one of the quickest ways to put distance between two lovers. Communication is vital in any relationship, since we need to know what’s going on in our lover’s lives, what their worries are, and their hopes. Communicating helps us to ascertain how we feel about each other, and it’s the only way we can show empathy and concern to our spouses. Through good communication, we can inspire our spouse, instill strength in them, and support them when dealing with their problems. This kind of support is vital for any strong relationship.
Expectation
The second key to a happy relationship is expectation. If you don’t meet the expectations of your partner, the result is disappointment and potentially even disagreements. When you make time to communicate with your partner, be sure to talk about each other’s expectations.
Loyalty and Trust
Crucial in any relationship is being able to believe your lover, and to know they are beholden to you. You need to be positive that your partner is only going to act in your best interests when it comes to life’s important things. You also need to be the same for your lover.
What does loyalty say? It doesn’t mean remaining with your lover no matter what happens. Instead It’s about displaying how much you think of someone, to them and to others. The fastest way to complicate any relationship is to publicly criticize the person closest to you.
