Print ArticleTo establish a lasting, blissful relationship comes with hard work. It could be a work relationship, it could be mutual friendship, building an enduring engagement that culminates into marriage as well as maintaining a peaceful marriage relationship. It demands a lot of sacrifice, endurance, understanding and tolerance and mutual respect. You earn a friendship by establishing your trustworthiness in the heart of your mate and unholding some level of integrity. He that must have friends must make himself friendly. Always be cheerful, helpful and always optimistic. Do not be a dream killer.
Secret Number 1: Be genuine and truthful. No relationship stands on falsehood. Let your partner be your rock. Even when it is hardest to own up to a fault, ensure to confide in your partner the hardest truth. Keep his or her secret secret. Eschew flattery because it gives your friend false confidence. Compliment his or her looks and achievements by once in a while giving him or her a treat or special gifts. Also use nice words. No sarcasms. Show him/her that you appreciate your relationship and is important to you.
Secret number 2: Ensure to love your partner for who he or she is and not for what you stand to gain from the relationship. Get to the level that you love your partners so much that his mistakes do not matter to you so much again. That is what I call unconditional love. When you are there, you can hardly give a particular reason why you love him or her. But you just know that you love everything about him or her. Love covers all faults. Be ready to forgive him or her no matter how hard. Also learn to respect his or her feelings, privacy and opinions for a man's opinion is the embodiment of such a man. Believe in his or her visions. Either your dreams or his dreams can make both of you.
Secret number 3: Believe in your mate and make a conscious effort to study and know his strengths and weakness. Love him when he or she is weak as well as when he is most active. Encourage him and bring out the best in him. Respect other relationships he or she keeps.
Secret Number 4: Own up to your own faults. You must be able to admit your mistakes, apologise and ensure never to repeat such acts again. Learn not to win in every argument. Endeavour also not to dominate every discussion. Give him or her room to air their own views. Do not lord your choice or views over him or her. Respect his opinions.
Secret number 5: Be there for him or her in thick and thin. Learn to listen and understand his pains. Go out of your ways to ease his or her aches. Be genuinely interested in his well -being, success and affairs. Do not take him for granted nor take his companionship for granted. Honor him/her by giving him priority above others. Where other family members are involved such as children, parents or siblings, give your mate priority because someone once said that all others are visitors and would one day depart. One day your children, parents or siblings will find their own partners and God help you if you have destroyed your relationship because of them. Try and appreciate and guard his interests as if they are yours. Defend him outside even when he is at fault after which you confront him and endeavour to show him where he went wrong and help him overcome the guilt and suggest ways to make amends.
