Keep Your True Love - Relationship Advice That You Ought to Take Heed by T Hendricks

Have you watched Never Been Kissed wherein the character played by Drew Barrymore said something in this fashion, you finally found the one and you are both smiling and crying at the same time because you are happy you found the one and at yet scared that you may lose him? Kudos to you if you have succeeded in finding your true love and this is no easy feat. What is harder though is how to keep your true love. Read on for valuable pieces of relationship advice.

Happily Ever After Is Never Automatic

It is not impossible but it does not come automatically. At some point in your lives, you will get tired of endlessly staring into each other's eyes and start noticing the not so pleasant facets of your one true love. Love is not enough to take your mind off the fact that he keeps forgetting to put the toilet seat down, nor is it enough to take your mind off the fact that she cannot cook a decent meal even if her life depended on it. A lifelong relationship, to work, needs work from both parties.

Compromise

The first thing is learning how to compromise. Maybe you can switch chores, you do the cooking, she does the table and dishes. It is not easy but the effort of learning to meet halfway is more than worth it. You are doing these things for love, your one true love.

Self Check

Look at yourself in the mirror and make an effort to know who you really are. If even you yourself don't understand who you are, what your personalities are really like, how do you expect your partner to know and understand the real you?

Keep Those Lines Open

You have all heard it so many times; an open communication with one another is a key to a lasting and strong relationship. When you ask questions, keep an open and positive attitude towards what your partner has to say. When you are asked the question, think hard and well and consider every angle as much as you can before blurting out your answer. Listen carefully to your partner, not only in terms of verbal communications but non-verbal most especially. Take note of every facial expression and body language your partner exudes.

Conflict Resolution without the Conflict

Probably the biggest part in how to keep your true love is to learn how to deal with conflicts the non-explosive way. When your partner does something that infuriates you, try your best not to explode in their faces. Resolve the conflict with the least amount of friction. Put yourself in their shoes, how do you want them to handle the situation when you are the one on the hot seat?

Even if you master these skills, there are no guarantees that your relationship will be the smoothest, problems will always and inevitably arise that will challenge your relationship but these will help you keep the bond strong and will lessen the chances of you having to lose your one true love.

Relationships and The Love Vibe by Suzanne Devereux

Do you dream about having more love in your life? Have you ever really thought about what love means to you? Does it mean a committed life-long partnership? Does it mean having someone to spend time with, just enjoying the simple pleasures? Maybe your view on love is broader and encompasses all of your relationships, including those with your family and friends. I've got a secret for you, and this is coming from a Life Coach who helps people create the lives of their dreams:

Love is a choice you make; it doesn't just "happen."

Love is something you decide to include in your daily life. It has to be a priority, given time and attention every day. And, above all, you have to express more love if you want to attract more of it.

If it took only three steps to create a more love-filled life, would you take those steps? Here's your chance to find out. Get out pen and paper and jot down your responses to these questions:

1) What do I really want in a relationship?
Get clear on this. Be specific. If you are looking for marriage or a long-term partner, then write it down. If you are looking for someone who is adventurous and fun, write those qualities on your list. Don't listen to the Peanut Gallery (your friends and family); make your own list of what's important to you.

2) What's been holding me back?
There are many reasons why you might not have the relationship of your dreams, and nearly every single reason has to do with negative messages that you're either hearing from other people or that you're telling yourself. Even though you'd like to believe that a Special Someone is out there for you, are there negative relationship messages that keep popping up, sabotaging your dreams? You've got a choice to believe the negativity or to focus on your dream partner. Which are you going to choose?

3) How can I express more love?
In order to bring more love into your life, you have to express more love. Show more love, care and friendship to others. Even if you want to attract a mate, you get good practice at loving when you show more love to your frien
