What Should You Do To Keep The One You Love
Love and Relationships
Being in love and in a relationship is not all about happiness. There are three things you will surely have: the smiles, tears and the memories. Even the unbelievable fairytales have experienced this too, because it is how the foundation of your relationship has been built.
Relationships are naturally part of being in love. You will have a special bond with someone dear to you. In this situation, you do things that you love, you show care and significance to them and of course you show affection.
However, not all relationships are those kind of unrealistic, almost fictional expectations. Some can get toxic to your partner and it can cause them to hurt, not only them, but you too.
Appreciate
Many people this days have already made appearances as their standard in choosing their partners. They already based a person's life and attitude through his looks. Relationships are not how about people look and as what you always have heard, attitude stands above beauty. 'Looks could be deceiving', there are many kinds of people, the one gifted with beauty but not with attitude and vice versa. Appreciate what they have, that little freckles or that chubby body. It doesn't really matter because once you see their value, acknowleding even the little things they've done for you like simply checking you out if you got home safely means they really care for you. Their efforts are every details that should be appreciated because in that way, it makes them feel loved. Being appreciated, giving compliments tells them that they are good at something and they should continue it.
Acceptance
Linked to appreciation is acceptance. Not only means accepting their appearances but accepting their attitudes, what they think, what they have. Accepting that they have an attitude like that or accept that they really think like that, that they live in a certain status different from yours and other things that makes you think about your differences. But accepting them with full heart is the most important regardless of how they act or think, but not farther from that, because you love her/him, in the way they are and that's how you appreciate them and accepting them in that way will make it easier for the both of you to go on and continue with you relationship.
You are in a relationship because
You love him/her, not because of things that she/he has that you want to take advantage of. Because you are willing to sacrifice certain things that will make them happy and because you chose the option of having them in your life.
Have Time For Them
The greatest mistakes people do is not lending time for people they love. Being busy or not spending time or activities with the one they love makes people feel not important. This is because the one they love prioritize other things than them but remember, love can't keep us alive, so people also need to work on things, just don't forget and put them to side. Talk to them, share what you think about and have stories to go with it. Having bonding together makes your bond stronger and you'll discover new habits that will make your relationship stronger and last longer because you will never get bored of being with each other.
Make them comfortable
Don't strangle them in your relationship, if you do, it looks like your dangling in front of them that you are far superior than them. They also have their own life to continue and making your relationship toxic for them is bad. Don't force them to do things that they wouldn't want to do and learn to be considerate to them. And even if they said it's really done, don't push yourself towards them and that's how you'll learn you love yourself also. Learn to take your time with yourself also, you do not have all your days in your life for just the one person only. Make them breath but don't go too far from your priority.
Don't be forced to do things that you don't want to do
Be yourself, but see to it that you don't hurt others. And if they ever force you to do things that's considered bad to you. Don't do it. Being in a relationship doesn't mean cutting your freedom for them.
Believe in them
One of the most important thing you need so that you will feel loved is support. Supporting someone is very powerful because it shows how attentive you are in what they are doing and how much care you show to them. Even for just accompanying them in overcoming their fear of heights is a sign of support, for cheering them when they have low confidence. It boosts what they have, their confidence and their ability to do certain things. Not only that, you already helped her/him improve herself on the talent she is yet to discover. Make them succeed in their passion, in their hobbies and in the one they are working for. Don't be the one to drag them down, to make them loose interest in something that they desire for so long because if that will happen, they will find someone who wants to be with them in all the challenges in life that they'll encounter.
Love them
Love your partner with all your heart because finding someone that you have given the whole world to does not take a month or even years. They are rare and maybe, you two are even destined forever. Never look at other people the way you look at your partner because adultery is a sin that destroys it all. Not only your life but you also loose your partner. This is the most important thing when it comes to relationships. You love them with their flaws and imperfections, you love them just the way they are, you make them feel like of the most precious diamond and that they are worth keeping and loving. Hug them when they feel down, when they are sad, when they lose, when they succeed and when they are happy. Kiss them with that fire of love you have for them and treasure all the memorable things you spent together.
Loving someone is a satisfaction and a reward but can be a source of pain too. Do things that you heart really wants, considering both of your happiness and future.
