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.

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,…

It can be scary sometimes to show those you love the real you. Who we are plays a huge part in every relationship. It is important that our partners and those we love to see you for who we are.
