Lasting love: Trust, compromise & patience in your relationship helps?
Lasting Love: Brings enduring happiness to your life!
Certainly enduring love is something that we all try to achieve in our lives, both at home and with family.
But it’s something that we need to work at every day to be successful. It is not easy to achieve. We all have difficulties!
Recognising what we need to do: This is the on-going challenge in maintaining our love relationships.
* Trust, patience and compromise lead to happiness! * So why do we blame each other and respond so selfishly? * Why do we argue about such trivial things? * Why do we argue about money so often? * Better to keep our love and romance alive and well? * So let's really focus on what's good about our lives together!
These issues are real enough, but why not try to maintain some perspective? Talk to each other! Talking helps keep your perspective on what's important in your lives together. Are you talking to each other?
Beneath these specific issues there are more fundamental matters to be addressed!
* Are you able to last in a long-term and loving relationship? * Do you respect what you actually have together? * Can your love survive through the day-to-day challenges? * Do you understand what you need to do for an enduring relationship? * Can you keep your love spontaneous through life's ups and downs? * Do you recognise what it will take on a day-by-day basis?
What is lasting love? How and why do loving relationships last?
* Relationships need some give and take each day! * Recognize that frustration thrives on trivial issues! * Help with the chores! * Spend time with and encourage the children! * You both need to work at creating enduring harmony! * You should have some common interests! * Don't try to spend all your time together though! * Respect each other! * Learn that without trust you have nothing together!
"...The secret of a successful marriage is trust. Trust is the key. Trust is the rock..." (The Wedding Girl - Madeleine Wickham)
"To show a child what once delighted you, to find the child's delight added to your own. This is happiness." J B Priestley
What are the dimensions of happiness?
* Our well-being. * Good health. * Contentment within yourself. * Peace of mind. Optimism. * Feeling on "top of the world". * Things are going well for us, with our friends or family. * Our immediate family are doing well. * Making others happy!
But how do we make the journey to achieve enduring love in our lives?
* There is no secret answer to keeping love healthy! * We just need to keep working at the basics! * Take a step to help each other every day! * Life's journey takes many twists and turns! * Rich or poor, money doen't create lasting love! * The journey together to maintain love is worthwhile! * There is much evidence that fast paced relationships don't work! * Take your time, work at the "give and take" together! * Long-lasting happiness is difficult without effort! * Be there for each other always!
What is an enduring relationship all about?
* Basically like most things it's a "state of mind". * You'll be happy if you want to be. * You learn how to adapt to each other. * You achieve lasting love being content within yourself. * Appreciate each other each day. * "Grow old with me! The best is yet to be." - Robert Browning
