Relationships In a Nutshell ✍🏾

A relationship has to have a strong foundation. You have to first build a friendship, take the time to listen to your partner and hear about their childhood & learn what they like! Even if its the smallest of things, knowing how your partner likes their food can go a long way! Once a friendship is built everything else falls into place , you won’t have to break the ice when your together!! Your level of comfort will be at an all time high and all the things you once enjoyed doing alone, will be 10x better with your best friend by your side! Your jokes seem to get a little funnier, your days become more exciting and meaningful, and you start to get this glow that is to die for!!!! Fast forwarding through the honey moon stage LOL, learning to compromise & communicate will become very important! Although communication is very important in all aspects of your life, it will definitely either make or break the relationship. When you experience problems its very easy to suppress those feelings and try to overcome them without having a conversation, but no issue will ever get solved that way! Men usually can truly be over an issue once they express how they feel and can move on. Woman however are a little different and may require a little more conversation to get over there feelings. Not all woman of course, but most women like myself need to explain my feelings and know im being heard and my feelings are being acknowledged. At that point I can usually tap out of my emotions and move forward. This is where compromising may play a role! Everyone knows that two people will never agree about EVERYTHING, there will always be a time one person will have to compromise one way or another. Yes their will be many situations you may have to compromise but make sure that its 50/50 and your not the one always compromising. This can cause a strain on the relationship and also cause a wedge between the two of you. In my opinion if two people build a foundation and become best friends who enjoy being around each other and learn how to effectively communicate and also meet each other half way there’s nothing they cannot overcome. Because the relationship has a strong foundation it will be hard for it to fall apart! Being in a relationship it becomes easy to get so caught up in the two of you that you forget to stay true to yourself and have “YOU” time! Self respect is a aspect of a relationship people tend to leave out, yes respecting your partner is very key to any relationship; but it starts with self respect. If you cannot be alone and have respect for yourself then you cannot be with someone else and give them the respect they deserve. If you respect yourself there are certain things you will not allow in your space and also you will demand respect from other people. Outside attention and conversation will not excite you because you won’t need to look elsewhere to fill a empty void! If you and your partner keep God first, continue to grow together, and not be afraid of intimacy and compromise your relationship will florish🌹💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Bree. 11x11x17 3:04am♥️
