I have always thought that every relationship is a give and take. You cannot have a good relationship with always being the one giving or taking. It must be shared between the two people. We need to find partners who are there to pick us up when we need support as much as we should pick them up when they need support. A partnership is a relationship, it means sharing burdens and triumphs.   I want to be with someone who will pick me up when I need support, someone who can see past my worries or fears and can patiently reassure me throughout any issue I come across. I…

Listening is a skill that I believe most people do not use to its full potential. Listening is an important part of a relationship because it allows you to know where you stand with the other person. However, you need to know how to listen effectively. Anyone can use their ears to hear what others are saying, but a part of listening is actually retaining the information that the other person shared with you. Listening is also hearing how the person feels while they are speaking. Effective listening is not just hearing, it is much more. In a relationship, it is important to listen effectively to your partner because they…

Have you ever wondered about when you are in an argument with your partner and how this sometimes works? Yes, sometimes we argue because someone did something wrong and they do not want to take responsibility for it. Yet most arguments, I firmly believe, are because we just see things differently. Different perspectives on issues will cause us to argue with our partners. But instead of arguing, why not see it from their side of things? If both partners in an argument would take the time to see things from the other, the arguments would not last long because there would be more understanding about each other and why we…

Sometimes it can be hard to love again. When we were left heartbroken and lost, or when we have had enough, with all the trials and errors. But we must keep hope alive. And one thing that we should always keep hope in is love. We must hope to find love for love to find us. If we stop hoping, then we stop believing that it can happen to us.  If we no longer have belief then even if it comes to us, we will not see it. Love is a great thing to have in our lives. But many tend to stop seeing the love we have around us…

It is starting to get cold outside and the feeling of warmth and connections between people become bigger. Although this is something that can happen any time of the year, I feel that when it gets cold outside we are more prone to snuggle which allows a person to connect with their partner on a different level. I do love the fall, when it is cold enough for snuggling yet not so cold that you do not wish to leave the house. It is good to have that option when you have a partner. Walking is one of my favorite things to do with someone you care about because you…

I love the fall, it is my favourite season. How beautiful it is with the leaves changing and all the colours. It also is when the best holidays are, from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas. I love everything with fall. Even the smells and all the autumn flavours are out, how wonderful it is. From apple picking or pumpkin picking to all the fun outdoor activities you can do with those you love. From apple cider to pumpkin pie to all the goodies you can have during this season. What is there not to love about fall? The colours on their own are miraculous and then you add all the…

It is not always easy to say what you feel in a way that transmits exactly how you feel. Often the other person sees it differently. Sometimes just a different word could bring out a different perception from your partner. Knowing this is important because how you say something can make all the difference in how your partner receives the information. As much as sometimes a love you is really a love you, sometimes it is better to add the ‘I’ at the beginning of love you, makes the other person feel more of the love you are trying to share. Starting the day with a good morning beautiful/handsome, can…

Love is not always easy. Sometimes it is painful, sometimes it is fun and sometimes it is weird. It can be many different things in many different ways. Love is not something we should fear but is something hard to find and keep. I say we should never give up on love, but love means finding someone proud to say to the world that they are with you. Love means fighting for each other. Love means work. Love means appreciating each other even in the little things. Love means respecting each other. Love is unconditional, but also having the desire to be our best selves for each other. Find someone…

“She is both, hellfire and holy water. And the flavor you taste depends on how you treat her.” ― Sneha Pal On one hand, you can find a loving and caring partner and then on the other hand you find a hard, screaming, frustrated partner. This comes as no surprise that many people will find their partners in two different moods, the upset mood or the loving mood. However, how did this partner become this way? I am a firm believer that what you pour into your relationship is what you will acquire in return. If you are coming home to someone upset all the time, that means you need to…
