Answering a Few Relationship Questions

Good relationship with girlfriend and boyfriend or husband and wife is important. From time to time we are faced with struggles and challenges. To make the relationship stronger, sometimes we need time to reflect and think about the important points about the relationship.

Anna Chui of Lihehack presented 53 Relationship Questions That Will Make Your Love Life Better . I find it relevant and answered a few questions.

• What was your first impression of your partner?

  My first impression was that he is strict. When I know him more, I can really say that he is strict with a heart. Even now, we already have kids, he is strict in implementing rules in our house but he is also a compassionate husband and father.

• Do you like spending time with your partner’s friends and family?

  Yes, I like spending time with my husband's friends and family. When invitations of going out with them are given I usually go. We usually do camping, sometimes eating in restaurants, going to the beach. This way I can be able to build relationship to his family and friends. For me, his family and friends are also my mine especially the family.

  

  

• Do you get each other’s feeling without the need to say anything?

  Yes. Sometimes, we get surprise that we are thinking of the same thing without even telling each other. We just laugh about it and say, well we read each others minds.

• Is it really necessary to know everything from your partner’s previous relationships?

  For me it's a no. Telling my partner everything about previous relationships could be a basis of comparison or can be a beginning of an argument. Maybe if it is really necessary I would share or I would ask from him. For me, I am the present and I should not keep on going back to the past. My husband did not ask everything about my past relationships and I as well to him. Though we had sort of sharing of the past but not everything.

• How do you feel when your partner has to leave you for some time because of work or study?

  It is okay for me and he is also doing the same for me. We support each other in terms of personal development and work. But most of the time, we prefer to be with each other. Like, if I have a conference in a specific place for 3-4 days, I invite him to come with me. It become now a mix of work and leisure. But it's not done all the time. Only when schedule and budget warrants.

• Will you say sorry to your partner even though it’s not your fault?

  I usually don't do this. If it's not my fault, I will not say sorry. I will wait for my husband to say such. Thankfully, for our almost 9 years of marriage, we learned to acknowledge each others fault.

  

  

• What makes you happier in a relationship, sharing or sacrificing?

  Sharing. For me sharing each others burdens, happiness is better than sacrificing. Sacrificing seems to be difficult. It's not easy to sacrifice for the one you love.

Before I end this article. I would like to share that to make a stronger relationship for couples, it should have a strong foundation and that foundation is in the Lord. The Lord should be the center of the relationship. Acknowledging Him in the decision making and everything a couple would do is very important. If there are struggles and hardships, come to the Lord in prayer, He listens. We've proven that in our marriage.
