LOVE SAYINGS & ROMANCE QUOTES

Adam Archer asked:


Love is…patient and kind. How can we say we love someone if we get easily frustrated and treat them with disrespect?

Love is…rejoicing in the truth. Is it possible to love someone and deliberately lie to them?

Love is…bearing all things. That means putting up with each other’s faults. No one is perfect. Love is…believing all things. It doesn’t mean we have doubt about someone. We should be able to take what someone says at face value. It is trust.

Love is…hopeful in all things. It’s knowing that everything will work out for the best. Love is…enduring. That means it puts up with the little things that drive us crazy. Love is…never failing.

Love is real when it can stand up to all these things. It looks for the best in others and brings these things out.

True love can stand the test of time. Being with someone for a long period of time allows you to go through different emotions and periods with that person. If your heart has the strength to weather through these different experiences with your lover, then both you and the relationship will grow stronger.

Love doesn’t mean that your lover has the responsibility to keep you happy and vice versa.

The only person who has the responsibility to make you happy is yourself. While you and your lover can make each other “happier”, you shouldn’t be solely dependent on each other for happiness. The couples who end up being happy together are made up of individuals who were happy to begin with. Keeping yourself happy is a hard enough responsibility, don’t make it harder for yourself by letting another person’s happiness be your responsibility too.

Love is sublime. Love gives power. Love gives determination. In love, many lovers do what they could never dream of.

Empires have been sacrificed for love. Battles have been fought for love. Love has ruled mankind since ages. Those who experience love are truly lucky. Real love is supportive. Love yourself, love your dream, love your mission, love your life, and surely enough, a wonderful person will show up and love you even more.

Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel.

Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action - true love.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. …

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Love is friendship set on fire.” - unknown

“Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing.” - Goethe

“To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia.” - H.L. Mencken

Love stretches your heart and makes you big inside.” - Margaret Walker

“Love has no awareness of merit or demerit; it has no scale… Love loves; this is its nature.” Howard

Thurman “Love is like war: Easy to begin but hard to end.” - Anonymous

“Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.” - Rainer Maria Rilke

“Where love is, no room is too small.” - Talmud

“Loves makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.” - Zora Neale Hurston “Love is the irresistible

desire to be irresistibly desired.” - Mark Twain

First and foremost focus on yourself. Your dreams, your goals, your truth. Somebody who really loves you will love you even more if you are being your true self. Someone who cannot love you when you follow your excitement is not worth being loved by you! If your husband is angry with you because you take time to achieve your goals, then he is not supportive.

If your wife is jealous because you have success and she doesn’t, then that is her problem. Don’t lose yourself, and your love will last. Focus on the reason why YOU are here on earth, make your mission the first priority in your life, and you will be loved for WHO you are.

This is real love. Real love is supportive. Love yourself, love your dream, love your mission, love your life, and surely enough, a wonderful person will show up and love you even more. What you are able to give to yourself, you will get back thousandfold from the outside world. If you are already in the energy of love, by simply loving yourself, then you will attract love from outside into your life. Make love last by loving yourself first. Love Love Love…

Many couples are facing problems in their relationship. Your relationship may be having trouble for one reason or another and it may seem that the other person is trying to put all the blame on you! This is very common and you may find it to be frustrating and irritating as well. There are a few things that you can do to help this situation get better and learn how to deal with it when your partner is insisting that all the problems in your relationship are yours.

If you are in a relationship where your partner is trying to blame all of the problems on you, you may find this to be very stressful. This is something that you will have to deal with and try to make right before you can go any further. This is not a good way to be in a relationship with anyone. You need to make sure that you are facing the facts that you are going to have to figure a way to put an end to this.

If your partner is putting all the blame on you for the trouble in your relationship is talk it out. You will have to find a way to work through this problem. You may feel like you are alone in trying to make things better because the other person is claiming no responsibility. You should not have to feel this way. Sit down with your partner and talk to them. Tell them how you are feeling and what you want to happen. With any luck, this will help the situation and make things a little better.

Another tip is: you can do is making a list of all the things that are bothering you in the relationship. If you are having a problem with something that the other person did or is doing, you need to include it on the list. Have the other person do the same thing. You can then compare the list and find out where you both stand. Once you do this, you may see the similar reasons or the ones that are way off from what you believe is really going on.

Share the list with each other and try to figure out what you both can work on. Take notice if all the problems in the relationship are really yours and if so, what can you do to make this to fix what you are responsible for. However, you are going to want to evaluate your relationship and what you both can do to make it better.

Try to think about the things that you can do to make the relationship better. Are you having trouble at work? Do the kids drive you crazy? These things can make the relationship have stress. One of the biggest problems in a marriage or relationship is money.

Many couples today fight over money and not have enough of it. This is one thing that you cannot let destroy your marriage. If you are having a problem with the finances, you will have to discuss this with your partner and not fight about it.

You should think of ways that you can eliminate stress. When you are in a relationship, you sometimes let your stress build up until you cannot take it anymore. When this happens you will then take it out on your partner. This is not fair and you should not do this for any reason. If you under a great deal of stress, you can think of ways to release it naturally. There are a few things that you can do to make your body and mind a little more at peace.

You can do things together with your partner to help you release the amount of stress that you are under. You can take a walk, watch a movie or sit together and just talk. You will not only feel much better, but you will be able to take some of the problems in the relationship off of you as well.

There is nothing wrong with taking responsibility for having a bad relationship as long as you are the cause. If you have a partner that is making your life difficult, chances are that they are the problem and maybe they actually have to re evaluate themselves to make some changes for the good.

The last thing that you can do to deal with a partner that is insisting that all the relationships problems are because of you is to get out of the situation. If your partner is not helping your relationship and you believe that you are not the sole problem, maybe you should think about moving on. You want to do everything that you can of course to make the relationship work, but sometimes the other person can make it impossible. There is just no reason for you to live your life unhappy.

If your relationship is going down hill and you feel there is nothing you can do about, you may want to end it. Sometimes you just have to move onto another destination so that you can find yourself. Once you have figured out that you are not the problem and that you have done everything that, you can, you may want to simply step away from the entire relationship. This is going to be healthier for you and for the other person as well. You will be able to move on and get on with a relationship that works better for you.

It’s hard to be in a one-way relationship. Everything seems to be your fault and the other party refuses to take responsibility for their actions. This is the worst part of being in a one-way relationship, because it takes a part of you away. You will loose control of not only the relationship, but also yourself. You will lack self-esteem and nerve to stand up for yourself.

You need to give the relationship a chance, but you need to realize a point where enough is enough. You need to identify your breaking point and stick to your guns. If you say, it’s therapy or nothing, then follow through or they won’t ever take you serious again.

One tip you will want to use with a mate you feels that you are the root of all the relationships problems is to level the field. Tell them that you are equal to them as a person. You are not inferior to them, but you two are equal. You both having probably made some mistakes, however, it is not just one or the other. You both have a 50/50 partnership. Level the playing field by asking them what makes them better than you; this will get the other to shut up. Now that you have just leveled the field, you can begin to talk about the things that both you in the relationship and for a couple moments focus on yourself.

Second tip to use to help you deal with a partner who insists that you are the problem to the relationship is too first as them why they are with you. If you truly cause them so much pain and problems, then they wouldn’t be with you, however, they choose to stay.

Ask your mate why they feel the need to sit down and put you down, but still choose to be with you. If you were truly that bad of a person, they would have left you. You need to see them for who they are; when a person puts another down it is their way of showing control and power.

The third tip for your relationship is to ask you mate to list all the things that have gone wrong in the relationship and ask them why they feel that it is your fault. They will most likely walk away and you have just gained the power in the relationship. How long will you keep the power? When it comes to the power in a relationship it has to be 50/50. Now that you have it, what will you do? What you should do is use the power for your advantage.

The fourth step to guide you in this type of relationship is finding the way to use the power to gain yourself back. By now, they have probably taken a lot a way from you. Your self-esteem has to be low to put up with such abuse. When you are dealing with the power now, you will want to make your demands.

Like you want to go to couples therapy or you will want them to get help with their need to control you. You need to stand up for yourself. You need to stand up to them so that you can be happy in the relationship. At this point you may find that they are willing to give therapy a chance or that they will resist the idea by trying to knock you down again emotionally. This is when you need to go to step five.

Step five in dealing with this relationship is finding a way to be comfortable to leave. Not all relationships will last, and nor should you allow someone to cut you down in size. You should not have someone take away your dignity or compromise your self-worth to be in a relationship. They can’t see you as a person, then, they don’t deserve you. If they aren’t willing to even give therapy a shot, then they aren’t in for the long run and they are wasting your time.

If you leave, never look back. This is obviously a relationship that you shouldn’t be in and they don’t deserve you. If it’s meant to be, you can work things out, but if they aren’t meant to be, then there is no need to carry out a relationship.

What are the ingredients of healthy relationship that everyone is looking for?

 

 

 

 

Quarrels, fights, gossiping, drinking, smoking are bad signs of what they turn out to be in the relationship. Why I give all these are because based on my personal encounters for a minority of the population in the entire world, these above actions are what the couples may end up into, which is very unhealthy and poor. A healthy relationship has to be considered, but how much the couple can do depends on how keen they want to improve the methods and their personality corrections.

Let us find out what is needed for a healthy relationship. It is a relationship- satisfaction to both.  A healthy relationship satisfies both the partners.

A_star asked:


I’m a medical student, and at the moment I am studying the development of family, and how a couples relationship might change for the better or worse when they have a baby together.

For example, the father may feel somewhat excluded as the mother acts as the primary caregiver, and naturally the relationship may become strained due to less time together and more stress.

I’d really appreciate some input from those of you who have been there before and have experienced these changes.

Thank you
I’m particularly interested in the changes that take place almost immediately after the baby comes into the family.

One relaxed way to transport the excitement back into your relationship is too set up a time night. While you may see one another daily and even go out to banquet every Friday night, locale up a court night external of your regular schedule will enhance your relationship and give you something to look familiar to. Don’t just schedule a night to go out to banquet but pleasure each of these time nights as if they were first dates and make them unusual, go buy some sexy lingerie to dress underneath for later!. Go all out receiving yourself dressed up and take unusual tending in your appearance. Prepare for your court night as if you were truly demanding to make a good first impression. Going out of your way to have at slightest one night of fun and romance a week will help add a little dynamism to your relationship.

Giving your partner gifts for no incentive at all is another ways to get your relationship back on footpath. You may have lavished gifts on your partner early in the relationship but as the relationship progressed you may not have done so as frequently. Small, important gifts given just to make your partner glad will let them know that they are still always on your view just as they were in the launch of the relationship.

The unadorned act of property hands can also add excitement back into a relationship. This intimated gesture conveys a substance of sanctuary but it also lets your partner know that you want to be close to them at all epoch. Many couples grasp hands everywhere they go early in a relationship but don’t do so later. Try grabbing your partners hand as you are out operation tasks together. They will be touched by the sentiment and will be glad to be allotment a meaning of closeness with you again. Doesn’t it get you when you see an old couple land hands?

A kiss is still another way to produce the excitement back into your relationship. You may have gotten into the habit of bountiful your mate a kiss on the cheek or a transient peck on the lips when you see them after a long day of work. Trying kissing them with passion the next time you see them to contract them by stun and sincerely let you know not only how much you adore them but how attractive you find them as well.

Having an universal fascinate can also promote excitement in a relationship. If there is an activity that you both have liability, make it something that the two of you do together regularly. For example if you both like hiking make policy to go hiking every Saturday morning and each time you go out make it a little different by exploring a new scene or setting new goals for yourselves. This will give the two of you an attempt to reconnect while enjoying each other’s group. Having a ritualistic activity that you and your partner enjoy together creates closeness and intimacy that can help put the excitement back into your relationship.

Offering your partner a work when they are worn-out and jaded can also produce the excitement back to your relationship. A knead can be a very sensual and intimate experience. Additionally offering a massage lets your partner know that you can see that they are stressed out and exhausted. They will appreciate your putting them first in the relationship and this will help create back the excitement in your relationship.

Over time a relationship may misplace some of the excitement that it had in the very opening. While this may be troublesome it is also completely normal and reversible. Noticing the require of excitement in your relationship is the first action to restoring that excitement. It may take a little work but with a few unfussy actions you can be on your way to an exciting relationship. Don’t disregard to make them feel exclusive, sometimes just giving them something nice like a new example of lingerie can make all the difference.

Men and women tend to function from two completely different directions when it comes to how they behave in a relationship. This behavior is most prominent in regard to how they communicate and their levels of understanding.

According to studies written by relationship counselors, communication is responsible for more than half of the failed relationships that have been observed and documented.

This is not news to anyone who has experienced a relationship that has lasted more than 30 days. What may be interesting is the variety of issues that cause relationships to fail.

I’ve been on both sides of a broken relationship over my years of living and working as a counselor. Once as a child of a functioning but broken home and once as the spouse who left the relationship.

What I learned from each perspective I have written into a battery of counseling tips and conversations that serve to support couples. The saying, “Knowledge is power,” rings true when it comes to relationship rescue. If you have 5 minutes to spare to focus on your relationship skills, you can learn to make your relationship lighter. By lighter I mean, the heaviness that many relationships carry is based on baggage being carried by the partners. Most often the partners carry this baggage silently.

The primary issue that impacts the relationship is not the baggage or the presenting issues that cause or contribute to the failure of the relationship. What tends to feed the decline is the silent suffering combined with a subconscious belief that the other partner should be aware of this baggage, even though neither of them has given anything more than a hint of what is being carried.

Making your relationship lighter may be an alien term or merely a distracting thought with a funny name. Take 5 minutes to open your mind to some new possibilities that may be hidden in your relationship.

John Maxwell, author of “Relationships 101,” says, “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” When it comes to relationships, most often the male and the female partner fail to communicate this fundamental message.

Looking deeper into ways of strengthening your relationship beyond the physical level of living together, means each partner must be deeply committed to the other partner. This includes taking the risk of assuming the other partner is carrying baggage silently.

This is not a license to pry or aggressively intrude into the other partner’s privacy, because privacy is always vital in a relationship. Communication is not expecting your partner to disclose every details of their day. Communication travels to emotional locations untouched by words alone.

What helps to understand the balance that is needed begins by looking into the mirror and searching for a way of getting a handle on one’s own baggage. It often occurs in the partnering of individuals that while opposites attract, these opposites also share experiences.

It is documented that children who grown up in a home where a spouse has been abused will mostly find themselves in an abusive relationship as adults. Recognizing the reality of the presence of this baggage in one’s self forms the basis of the subconscious desire for the other partner’s understanding in the form of silent knowing.

Additionally, this type of baggage also provides a basis for deeper understanding of the partner’s own behavior as well as any communicational barriers that have been observed to exist.

The healing and preventative process must begin with a message and an understanding that baggage, both known and unknown, exists in the relationship. Both partners must also recognize that communication is a major player in both the success of their relationship, while lack of communication can be the primary reason for any potential for the failure of the relationship.

“Relationships of trust depend on our willingness to look not only to our own interests, but also the interest of others.”

Peter Farquharson
