10 steps to having a healthy dating relationship
5. Support:
This means stepping in the shoes of one another. Even if you know that your partner is wrong, don’t become another one of their opponents. In contrast, develop the ability to redirect their way without hurting emotionally. This point has to do with assertive communication; saying appropriate comments at the right time and in the best possible way. Another important aspect of support is that your partner will appreciate it more when you are making a conscious effort , not when it is extremely easy for you to provide.
6. Purpose:
Although it seems similar to support, purpose is aimed more toward the patience and desire or will to be and to do. To have purpose means is to fight to win and not falter trying, to continue on, and give your best effort in the pursuit of your happiness.
7. Communication:
Without communication there is nothing. You cannot compromise, resolve conflicts, and much less overcome crises. Communication is not just talking about everything that bothers you and simply expressing your frustrations and anger. Although we live in constant exposure to this word, we fail to communicate adequately. We rarely hear that successful communication requires active listening. To properly communicate the message, we need a rational process for developing ideas and understanding the consciousness and needs of others . It is not exploding when we can no longer retain more unrest. It is sharing your emotions with your partner so that he or she can understand your feelings. Listening actively requires practice. Is not something spontaneous in people and often requires going beyond words (interpretation).
8. Renounce:
This is simply choosing. Wise grandparents tell us that you can not have everything at the same time… and me too (lol). It is so true. For example you can no longer be single, if you get married, because when you get married, you lose 50% of your freedom. If you want to have a good relationship, you have to make many choices in your life. You have to renounce many things that are incompatible with married life, especially if you want to grow in love and in your relationship.
9. Acceptance:
To accept is simply to be in love, or to have grown up in it. It is balancing his or her defects and virtues, and feeling that you can live with that. It is here where the dating game becomes love.
