In today’s world, knowing if you have love is hard. It is hard to know how to act rightfully when you love someone. However, there are some key factors when there is love present in a relationship.  One key factor is respect. A person who truly loves you respects you, respects your opinions, respects your boundaries, and respects you as a person. This does not mean they need to agree with you, but they can respect the fact that you think differently and feel differently. This is an important part of love. Another key factor is that they want to hear what you have to say, whether you are venting…

In relationships, it can be hard to know when it is a good time to talk, when it’s a good time to listen, and when it is time for being together or apart. There are many times we are in this concept of knowing when to do or say something and when not to. But it is essential to know the time for such things. In a relationship, like in life, there is a balance. With this balance, you need to learn how to communicate, listen, and know when it is a key factor in a good relationship. It is not about knowing when not to speak your mind or…

The ups and downs in every aspect of your life give you a reason to…

When we see this word intimacy, we do not always think of what it truly is. We think of being physical with another, whether it be holding hands or touching, or more. But what is intimacy? This concept is not what you would normally think it is. It is much more than just the physical, it is the deep connection that two people have. The feelings of closeness and trusting the person. It is in how we open up to our partner. Intimacy is important for any kind of relationship. There are different levels of intimacy, however, the one that you have with a partner is the most special because…

In life we all wear masks. We pretend to be certain ways when at work, when with family, even sometimes when out. But when you are with a partner, we should never pretend. I know that many people do. They show the best side of themselves fearing that if the person knew who they were truly, they would be rejected. However, in the end our true selves will always come out and where does that leave us in a relationship? Life is full of surprises, but being who we are and being accepted on our true selves is an important part of life. We need to not wear masks or…

 What is being faithful? We all have a definition to what we deem is being faithful. I say that it is more than just cheating. For it comes down to how your heart is. A person can be faithful from the outside, meaning they may never cheat physically on their partner. But there are many different ways that a person can be unfaithful more than just the physical. One that comes to mind is mental. How we think and where our mind goes, can also be seen as being unfaithful. There is also emotional faithfulness, which means that we have respect for each other. Faithfulness is not only avoiding situations…

Love is all about being the best you can be. This is important in a relationship. We all make mistakes and do things that hurt our partner, but it is the fact that we amend and try to be better that shows that we love our partner. Love is nothing without action. Action allows for trust to build between to people. This may be a lot of work, but any good relationship is work. Without work, you cannot have any good relationship. So go talk to your partner, see how you can be a better you. This does not mean taking bad advice, but if the person truly loves you,…

Have you even been apart from your partner for a certain amount of time? Whether it is for a business trip or vacation, or for whatever the reason for having to be far from the person you love, it can be difficult.  Trying to go about your day in a different manner because what you are used to is not there, this can also give you a sense of longing for this person.  You can really know how much you actually care for a person when you are apart from them for a lengthy period because it allows you to really think about how much you miss them. What do…

Sometimes it is nice that you take a step back and check in on yourself. Look at everything that has happened what you would like to see happen and steps you can take to go in the direction of what you want out of life. This concept is also good in relationships. We should take a step back as see how we can do better as a couple and as an individual. This helps promote growth.  Now I know that some people will say that they have nothing they wish to change. The way I see it is that whether you are looking as a couple or as an individual,…
