7 facts about long lasting relationship

7 facts about long lasting relationship

There is nothing as a perfect relationship. When two people form a relationship both enter it with their baggage of good and bad. But that doesn’t mean there cannot be a good and long lasting relationship. Relationships are like two circles which are overlapping each other. The more the overlapping portion the better the relationship will be. For a long lasting relationship we may to take up something and give up something, and then only it will work and last. If both the parties are rigid in their stance then it is bound to fail.

Now I will tell about 7 things which we can do to make a relationship long lasting.

Accept your mistakes

It is always better to accept you mistakes and apologise for it. Both of you are different persons with different views so it is bound to happen that something and some acts of a person will not be liked by the other. It is better to accept that and try to accommodate others view point also. Here being rigid will not work, adjusting is necessary.

Talking about other gender

When in a relationship, talking too much about the other gender can cause insecurity. If a girl keeps on taking about his other male friends and colleagues all the time then it is natural that the guy will not like it. Relationships are fragile that way, even long relationships can break due to this. So make an effort to keep it to minimum unless you are fully confident that it will not be taken otherwise.

Not giving you partner enough time

It is important that quality time is spent between both of them. Time is the best thing to invest in a relationship. It makes it strong and help both know each other better. The better the knowing the better will be the understanding. But one thing to be careful about is not to be possessive about the other. It will be wrong to expect that he or she will cut off from all other things for you. Ultimately he or she will have other obligations also which they have to fulfil. So spending some time alone or with others is natural.

Talking about your ex

Talking about your ex may not be always a good idea as it can cause insecurity. Ex is the past so it is better one tells about it to the other but this topic should not come out frequently. It will imply that the thought of the ex is still in his or her mind always. Also never compare the present boyfriend or girlfriend with the ex. This can seriously affect the relationship. It is a sensitive issue, sometimes it may be taken lightly but overdoing it will cause serious strain in the relationship.

Taking your partner for granted

This is also a no go zone. It is easily noticeable. When you start taking him or her for granted then you are making a cardinal mistake. However understanding the relationship may be but no one will accept that one take s the other for granted. It will be taken as neglecting and no one will like it. Give importance to the relationship so that the other feels that he or she is important part of the others life.

Be a good listener

When one is a good listener then that person understands the other person better. And when he or she understands the other better then the base of the relationship becomes stronger. It is not a one way relationship so the conversation should also be not one way. Even in relationship no one will like if only one is doing the talking, it will seem as one is overpowering the other.

Don’t be busy with your mobile when you are with the other

It is one of the banes of modern society. It looks really bad and irritating to the other. When both are together the focus should be on each other. A little bit of texting is OK, when absolutely necessary, but constantly checking mobile gives an indication that the mobile is more important than the other. 99% of the time it is not that necessary that it has to be attended immediately. But our habit is such that we cannot control it.

These are the smaller things but still important things to be kept in mind to develop a long standing relationship. I have deliberately not mentioned about infidelity as that is a cardinal mistake.
