How To Ensure Longevity in a Relationship

March 18, 2009


The greatest secret of keeping up a good relationship going on can be best summed in Ogden Nash’s lines:

“To keep your marriage brimming,
with love in the wedding cup,
whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
whenever you’re right, shut up. “

Always maintain tolerance, allows the other person to speak their mind, before driving into conclusions. Words can do wonders, which cannot.

Listening is equally important as speaking. Both of these acts needs to done with a calm and serene mind. An agitated mind can never make correct decisions.

Trust your partner, have full confidence in him /her, don’t pave way for unwanted suspicion. Understanding is the greatest asset a couple needs to ensure peaceful living.

Love alone doesn’t maintain relations, equal respect needs to be given too. Learn to respect each other’s decisions.

Maintain a space for oneself, where each can have the liberty of non interference. Always solve your problems through bilateral talks, never allow third person to have a peek into your life. This leads to even more serious troubles.

Money should never pose a threat to your relations, always remember money can come and go at the same pace.

Spend significant “couple-time”, this helps to strengthen the unique thoughts that led to your marriage. Spend time with your family members; this gives a sense of community feeling and a realization of your position within it and your responsibility towards it.

Hugs, kisses, caressing, pampering adds to the energy and beauty of your bond. Loving verses, a long drive, and a dinner together, a memorable vacation helps in refreshing oneself.

Dedication to the relationship is the ultimate thought, if you really want to continue, you will make sure you do.

“You don’t marry someone you can live with; you marry the person who you cannot live without.”
