Similar Expectations between Lovers

In a relationship, never always expect your partner or any person to see things the way that you see them. You have to know the fact that every person have their own beliefs and ideas about different things and it can be very rare that two people will have the exact beliefs and ideas. But this may not mean that the two people in a relationship will not have similar expectations in the relationship itself. They can have the same expectations and this will end up all the arguments inside the relationship.

Talk about things that you will agree upon and make a win-win solution whenever you don’t agree in doing the same thing. For example, you can talk about how often you will have sex and how babies you plan to have. You can also talk about your views in family planning and use of contraceptives. Those are just few examples from the many situations that couples can talk about.

Honesty is the Best Love Policy

On top of anything in the relationship virtues and values, honesty will always be what people will surely want. There is what you call a “zone of safety” needed to be built by partners so that they will know their limitations and that both of them can trust each other feel comfortable about each other. They must have the confidence that they can rely on their partners to always tell the truth.

We can’t avoid that us humans we make mistakes unintentionally. But if we know that something will destroy the relationship or if beforehand we know that what we will do is going to be a mistake, avoiding it is the best way. Intentionally committing a mistake can make the relationship unhealthy. Another way is to recognize your mistake and never do it again. Both of you must know what is going wrong. Honesty is always the best policy.

The Virtue of Patience in a Relationship

In order to have a healthy relationship, it is important for two people to have the virtue called patience. We have to understand that there are times when our partner seems to do things that would not please us but this may not mean that you will have to take it personally or seriously. Instead of reaching your own boiling point and be a war freak, all you have to do is to cool down and think of the possible reasons why your partner acted that way. Taking a deep breath will help you think clearly in order to create a better understanding on the actions of your partner.

To assume and to jump into conclusions are considered steps that are not healthy in a relationship. It will just make your partner feel that they are not entitled of acting freely and he or she will feel being attacked. The better thing to do is to give your partner time and let him or her know that you will always be there when they are ready to talk. Patience always pays good results.
