Life is a journey

Essence of a relationship is like doing something that you care about. For example some people like to play sports, some like to beautify themselves with spa and well-being packages and cars, etc. Likewise a relationship deserves and need that same kind of energy and commitment to build and deepen.

Everyone makes mistakes and it is even more important to understand your partner is only human and they will make mistakes unintentionally. Likewise, if you know it is a mistake yet you knowingly did it then that is a case of lack of respect and care for each other.

Effective communication is not about who is right or who win. It is about understanding each other’s needs and wants. Listening involves dedication and full attention to the partner’s words, as well as the tones and expression used. It is always easier to point out people’s mistakes but harder to accept criticism because no one wants to be wrong. Focus more on helping each other see each other’s perspective and avoid misunderstanding causing unnecessary arguments.

Expectations come hand in hand with relationship. It is unavoidable. Of course it is important to be understanding towards your partner’s words and actions but things should not go to the extent of trying to find excuses to cover up for mistakes. You deserve better with the amount of emotions you put in.

The seed of love requires caring water, patient sunlight and committed ecosystem to grow. In the face of storm and lightning, the understanding and communicative roots have to stand firm and deeply entrenched to weather the storm. The seed of love is the driving force of how the plant will grow and flourish. As the branches and roots extend, more qualities develop to enhance relationship wisdom and intelligence. The wisdom to give and take and acceptance of each other. The intelligence to decipher all the coded intent, actions and words that are often misunderstood in the initial seeding stage.
