I have come across something that I find is so rare to have these days, a love so strong that it wants to even stop death from taking them. I never knew love to still be this strong, as I have not been in such a strong loving relationship that I would feel this kind of love. But as I watch my grandfather, who has been with my grandmother for over 60 years, slowly die, I am hit with this wave of love that he has for my grandmother. As much pain and suffering he goes through, he still remains strong and is thinking of his love for my grandmother.…

I think in life there are two different kinds of partners. There is the person who is always there and the person who is not. This can be seen in many different ways, but in any relationship you either have a partner who is there for you even when times are tough or you have a person who isn’t. But we need to be what we want. It starts by us being the partner who is there for the other. And we need to decide whether we are there and our partner is not, whether we should stick around. I read a quote that I believe is so true, “there…

It has come to my attention that people do not always understand what it means to actually listen. Listening is more than just paying attention to what is being said and more then just hearing the words. Listening is understanding the feelings behind what is being said. I heard once that someone should listen to understand and not listen to react. This is something we should all try to master. Especially in relationships because listening to understand allows us to move forward in our relationship but listening to react only leaves us with problems. So listen to understand and try to stop yourself from reacting to what is being said.…

In life we need to grow and mature so we can become the best us we can be. Without growth, there cannot be the best you. This is the same in relationships, if you don’t grow together you will end apart. So we should consider growing as individuals and as a couple for those who are in a relationship. And a part of growing is learning about your faults and being corrected. As a parent corrects their child so they can learn and grow, in life we will be thrown challenges and people that can show us how we can be better or do better. It is important to remember…

In relationships things can go wrong, fights can happen, however everyone needs somewhere to fall on. We all need a safe space, people we can rely on and this is never so true when in a relationship. Because you will argue and fight with your partner, you will find things that you don’t care for or disagree with but how to sort it out determines if it is a toxic relationship. How to resolve the fight and not go straight to leaving. Relationships can get rocky, however, we need a safe space to talk, to understand, to get a different perspective. When you cannot go to your partner for advice,…

In life, when in a relationship, we all go through stages. Sometimes we will fight with our partner and sometimes we are over the moon and sometimes it seems as if nothing is there. People tend to forget that when times feel as if you have no feelings for your partner, it is not the time to leave your partner. When we are finding it hard to love our partner this is when true love can emerge, where your relationship can see if it’s meant to be. For if you run and leave every time you feel as if there is nothing there, you will never know if a different…

People these days are always looking for a better or newer car, but a better house, job, career, for newer clothes or material things. People are looking at what is better even in relationships.   I think it is a sad thing for a person to always be looking for what may be better instead of looking at what they have. And many times when we are always looking for something new or better we tend to lose out on some great things because we don’t enjoy what we have because we are always looking. The grass is not always better on the other side, sometimes it is different but not…

No one is perfect. Sometimes people forget that. Especially men. I hear it all the time, a man thinks he needs to be perfect in order to win a woman’s heart. But the truth of the matter is, this is not what good women want. What a good woman wants is for the man to be there, listen and love them always. Just at the beginning of the relationship, but throughout the relationship. When times are tough and there is strain on the relationship, all a good woman wants is to be heard and to feel loved. Nothing else matters in the end.

Sometimes I wonder how a person can find a little bit of heaven here on earth. And then I think of my loved ones, the people I care most about. I think of the times, both good and bad, and it makes me realize how lucky I am. But one thing that I do find is that when you are with your partner, your love of your life, when you are just lying there in their arms sleeping, that is heaven on earth. That feeling of security of caring, when you have your person beside you. No talking, no electronics, no distractions, just you and your partner in each other’s…
