Love Relationship

Love in a relationship is a must, but you have to remember that it takes more than love to make a relationship work. This is the third in a series of articles dealing with relationship problems and some of the possible solutions to work them out. One element that you don't hear so much about is respect. Respect of your partner has to be included in any relationship, and should be part of love.

How in the world can you be in love with your partner if they have no respect for you. Respect and love go hand in hand, and no relationship will go far without both partners having respect along with love for the other. Just saying you respect your partner, doesn't make it so. Showing your love and respect will go a long way to building a very strong relationship that can last a life time.

What constitutes respect? Well, I'll tell you what constitutes dis-respect. One very obvious sign is the use of words, especially when others are around. Now don't get me wrong, words can also be funny, it just depends on the circumstances involved. Using certain words in private can be fun for each other, but those same words in front of others can be VERY dis-respectful, and bring pain to your partner.

When you live together for many years, words that seem to be dis-respectful to others, can be just your way of fooling around. I don't mean words that can be hurtful but words that may be a little "dirty", that you wouldn't use in front of your parents or kids. But you also have to know when enough is enough. Like a pillow fight, it can be fun at first, but can get out of control. Keep it fun.

Relationship Break Up

A relationship break up is one of the most devastating emotional events that can happen to anyone. But you have to understand that all relationships are not meant to be. One may feel that they found their true soul mate, while the other is in love, at the moment. There is really such a thing as "love at first sight", and it does happen. But is it real for both persons?

Time tells all, and all relationships must weather the "getting to know you" time frame which can be one week or 5 years, or never! There is no particular reason why a relationship breaks up. There are as many reasons as there are people, but there are only a few basic problems that cause a relationship to end. Now you may ask what do I know about it. Well, let me say a few things about that.

I've been married for 41+ years. Yeah, you read that right, 41+ years. So I can say without question that there isn't much that my wife and I haven't been through. What I can say is that, in my own experience, the first 5 years are the most crucial. I feel that it takes that long to really know each other, but you can only get to know each other if you live together.

Living together is when you find out things about each other that can surprise you. So if your just a couple that dates for 5 years and don't live together, you may be in for a rude awakening if you get married after a few years, or if you decide to move in together. Because if that's the case, you can believe me that the learning of each other will just begin. This in itself can cause a relationship break up.
