5 Tips For
Lasting Relationships!
By Kathy Thompson
"Love conquers all, right?"
Well----it's suppose to. But most marriages will end in divorce. Most of
their problems are about the children, money, or in-laws. When couples
commit to a long relationship, there are specific personality traits
they should have in common.
1. Similar physical texture (thick
skinned/thin skinned)
2. Similar emotional stability
3. Similar degree of tolerance
4. Similar
intelligence/understanding of situations
5. Similar Interests
Without these five traits, the
couple live on difference planes, different worlds. They are inclined to
drift apart.
Couples grow by adjusting to their
differences, but some times, the amount of the difference may be too
much
Love provides the reason for being
willing to adjust to the other person's difference from yours.
A frequent question is; "How do I
know it's real love?" The answer may be that when you are enjoying
something special - ex: a movie, a sunset, flower, song, and you long to
have your partner to share it with. The degree of longing will determine
how much in love you are.
Growth in a relationship should
come from; doing things together, allowing things to happen, accepting
them as is, and changing what you can. It involves sharing and caring.
Couples usually don't mind working
at their relationship as long as they have a closeness to each other.
They don't want divorce, they want understanding. Divorce is usually a
rebellion at not being able to get through to each other. The couple are
still in love, that's why it hurts so much to part.
There is a story of a couple who
had been engaged for seven years. The young lady didn't have the courage
to commit. They had their personalities profiled and learned to adjust
to each other's personalities. They understood each other as individuals
and their relationship flourished.
