What is an ideal relationship? Is it a storm of emotions, a volcano of feelings or still a calm and safe harbor?
The candy-bouquet period
Their meeting was completely accidental.From the first day of their acquaintance, they spend every evening together, do not hide their crazy love and demonstrate their ideal relationship in public in every possible way. The sweet couple spends almost every weekend on romantic trips, and after that they post their happy photos on social networks, not embarrassed to add a comment about how they celebrated the anniversary of their first kiss, where and when it happened. After some time, the lovers finish off all their envious acquaintances, who constantly complain about the banal "boring" relationship, with a coup de grace, with their announcement of a future wedding. She storms all the wedding salons, and he proudly says that he is happy and ready to marry the one and only. Such a relationship resembles pictures from a glossy magazine, which every girl so passionately dreams of.
Efforts bear fruit
In fact, the ideal relationship is one that hashope for a future together - it is hard work, and first of all, daily work on yourself. A young man must learn to treat his beloved with respect and kindness. When a man takes responsibility and makes decisions, he should not be despotical towards a woman. Modesty and prudence will help a girl gain wisdom. Therefore, already at the first stages of joint meetings, you need to pay more attention not to your appearance (most girls spend unthinkable amounts of money and waste time in the hope that the well-known saying "men love with their eyes" will work), but to the development of those qualities, habits and abilities that will later be useful in marriage. When each of you "tunes" the qualities of your character, you need to understand whether you "sound" in unison, that is, are you right for each other? It is important that both partners have common beliefs and principles. Compatibility is determined to a greater extent not by how similar you are, but by how you can adapt to each other. Quite often, people in love argue and disagree. What happens in your couple at this point? Do you maintain mutual respect and calmly discuss the problem, or do disagreements escalate into heated arguments? Establish a pattern of open communication when you resolve joint problems, and use the following tips:
- do not start a conversation if one of you is tired;
- when one speaks, another let him listen (do not interrupt each other, your half should completely share with you his experiences);
- speak kindly, do not criticize;
- be flexible and prudent;
- Take into account the feelings of a partner and be sensitive;
- express appreciation;
- when you are wrong, apologize.
