We have talked about what can go wrong in a relationship. Now let’s hear about all the things you need in order to make it work. This can be any relationship; romantic, family, friendship, etc.
For starters, you need to be able to communicate openly and effectively. Letting the other person know what you think and feel is very important in any relationship.
I think it needs to become your hobby to find out the things that make your partner happy and fulfilled, in a non-overwhelming sort of way, and work together on getting those things with the other person. Sounds simple, but it’s a lifetime of it.
It starts off with a connection. I’ve only felt a real connection with one or two girls before. But it’s about not going out your way to impress them. It comes naturally. I mean you could go out your way but going out of your way seems natural. Haven’t got past that stage in a relationship yet so can’t tell you anymore. But comfort with one another is a fire starter.
Sacrifice. You gotta be willing to put aside everything for your partner. You gotta be willing to compromise or pick your battles or just hold your tongue sometimes for the sake of their happiness. My fiancé has given up so much to be with me and I’ve done the same for him
I think it is important to set boundaries too. A lot of people might disagree with me here, but it’s true. I used to completely lose myself in relationships. The other person’s wants and needs were the only thing that mattered to me. Now, I put my needs first. Mr. Star puts his needs first, too. We take care of ourselves so the other person doesn’t have to.
