How do you find that special someone that will change your life forever? Do you ever wonder what it takes for a relationship to last a life time? Is a perfect relationship always about smiles and good times? These are some of the questions that many ask in there quest to finding true love and in this article I will share my definition of love having been married for over 19 years. Read on to find out more….
2 become 1
When in a relationship that is moving forward you will notice that you and your partner literally become one person. From eating habits, to preferences on what to watch, you both will grow to think a like. It is amazing that after so many years with my current partner always find out something new about here, or something amusing that I never knew in my time knowing here. I believe that for a successful relationships both of you should be working like clockwork, give and take on a consistent basis. Do not ever take what you cannot give back, it will come to haunt you later on in life!
Have a fight once in a while
If there is one secret that can help any relationship last a lifetime it is fighting. I am not talking about physical abuse, far from it, I am talking about arguing and disagreements. It makes me sick when I see couples pretend to each other that they can do nothing wrong, and everything is dandy fine, when in reality it is not. Just like beauty magazines, do not pay attention to it, those people are lying to themselves as well as everyone else around them. The way i see it is like this “If you have not had a fight, something is not right”.
Support one another
They say that behind every great man there is a great woman, this is fact. I would not have got where I am today if it was not for my wife of 19 years, I owe everything to her whether she knows it or not. If there is one piece of advice i would give to anyone it is that you always be there for one another, through the good and bad times. Running away from a problem only makes matters worse, stick with it and fix. Nothing worth having comes easy.
Don’t treat marriage as a right, but instead see it as a privilege
Many young people these days get married to prove a point or as some sort of fashion statement. Let me warn you, just because you are officially declared as married dose not mean that you are special. With or without paper marriage takes work, hard work, if you are not made of the right stuff then don’t bother. I married my wife not because I could have her to myself, but because I wanted to show her how much she means to me.
