Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day and it’s time to share with you one of the most powerful quotes I’ve ever read about love and relationships.
Our writer, Mark Manson, decided to poll his blog audience for advice a week before his own wedding. To quote Mark: I made this phone call a week before my wedding: For someone who’s been married for over 10 years and is still in a relationship, what would you say to someone else if you could?
1.What would work for you and your spouse?
If you’re divorced, what didn’t work out at first? The reasons aren’t just visual, they affect everyone in the relationship. I relate to this so much, so I’m happy to share this with you in the hopes that you’ll find it as inspiring (or did I say motivational?) as I do. We all know that love is a constant emotional struggle, and even the best, healthiest relationships sometimes need help and advice. I found a way to connect with Mark’s words in so many ways; from his examples to real-life examples for readers, his writing is raw and real and sometimes just a reminder that we all need. I could easily copy and paste this entire post because there are so many great quotes and details {you’ll read it below and think I did! I have to stop myself even if I don’t want to. However, if you have the time, I encourage you to read this entire article because it will change your relationship and your life. >… Everything that makes a relationship “work” (and by “work” I mean both parties happy and stable) requires a relationship and mutual respect. Without praise, everything falls apart. .
2.Maybe you wake up in the morning and think, “Oh, you’re still here…
It’s the same old thing! And it’s worth waiting for, because that too will change. After that, my assistant and I started to notice an interesting phenomenon. People who are divorced and/or have been with their partners for 10-15 years almost always say that communication is the most important part.
3.Communication builds trust, and trust builds relationships.
It can be painful, but you have to do it anyway. No one can fix your relationship for you. No need for others. The key word here is “self.” One of the most popular themes in these emails is the importance of creating space and separation from each other. Some people are afraid to give their partners freedom and independence. This is due to a lack of trust and/or insecurity, and if we give our partners too much space, they will realize that they don’t want to be with us anymore.
4.Embrace them in unexpected ways
A recurring theme, especially for those who have been married for 20+ years, is how much everyone has changed over the years, and when the time comes, each of you will change. be ready to embrace others. A reader told me that at her wedding, an elderly family member told her, “One day, years from now, you’ll wake up and your husband will be a married man.
5.Different. Remember that you loved that person too.
” Just like the body and muscles, it doesn’t get stronger without stress and competition. You should know the truth, what people see is different from what they really want, and couples who think they need to agree and agree on everything will end up depressed and broken. For me, it comes down to respect, like everything else
6.More of the little things
“It’s important to stay connected through life’s ups and downs. Your kids will grow up, your troubled brother-in-law will join a convent, and your parents will die.” Relationship Truth: Sex is a state of being in a good relationship, sex will be the same.
7.The Rules
Meaning I agree with the “pragmatism” here. He’s an artist who can work from home most days, so it makes sense for him to take on most of the day-to-day responsibilities of a parent.
