Getting into a relationship with your dream boy/girlfriend does not mark the end of the journey but a rather beginning of a new chapter. Take note that even married couples divorce so just how high does a fragile ‘boy girlfriend’ status stands up to?
To be frank, being in this relationship since 2003, I still tend to have disagreements once in a while with my girlfriend of 6 years (which is normal). I’m not here to tell people everything of what to do as all relationships are different but, rather the important points of a healthy relationship.
You hear people saying ‘I love you’ here and there. So what is ‘Love’? I ever had a friend who asked me to try defining the word ‘love’ into as little words as I can as it is so complex. My closest answer I gave was “For you”. Taking into account that I find the song title “Everything I do, I do it for you” basically tries to mean that 1 very word ‘Love’.
Even so, the word “Love” still cannot be defined as 2 words or a single sentence itself but rather for it to be defined clearly; it needs a long list of words or sentences. If many actually believe that ‘Love’ that holds the strongest and healthiest relationship, then this is my definition.
What is important is Couples should (one another):
- Be faithful to
- Be Thankful to (Learn to say ‘thanks’, treasure one another and never take each other for granted. Many couples actually at times still take one and other for granted without realizing it. Test yourself: When were the last few times you said that to your love ones of all the many things he/she done for you?)
- Be truthful to (honest about your feelings but also be tactful)
- Respect
- Empower (in the right way)
- Keep Understanding (Including each other’s likes and dislikes)
- Learn to give and take towards (Don’t make life hard for one another)
- Be Caring to
- Be Helpful to
- Forgiving
- Handle disagreements well towards (it can happen once in a while but)
- Always comes out of it knowing each other more
- After a quarrel and cooling down, both must give in a little
- Learn to say sorry regardless who’s fault (It should melts your heart when you don’t feel your Significant Others (SO) is at fault yet he/she apologies to you for her part of the upset he/she had caused)
- Improve oneself (when needed) for
- Remember to give gifts to. Especially the Anniversaries and Valentine Days.
- Let bygones be bygones and love to remain towards. (Let the unhappy memories be a learning lesson but never to bring them up as stand point for future arguments. Instead, always remember the good things done and reminisce them)
- Affectionate about
Couples can hold hands till their hair goes white, and face covered with wrinkles. Everyday caring for one another, till death we part. That is love.
