Cherish your partner

Love brought us together and love will keep us together!

The beauty in life is that each one of us is never alone and we get to share our life with a special someone. Happiness and sadness are part of this relationship that unites two individuals in body and soul. It is founded by a connection that is abstractly tied and that sometimes when there is a moment of silence, only the heart speaks and nothing else does! Very deep!

This connection should be irrespective of anything physical (sex, race, religion, wealth)but more towards feelings from the heart.

Always be honest with your partner. Tell them how you feel and why you are honest.The simple reason is that you do not want to hide anything or to see them get hurt. Honesty can sometimes come at a cost! People accept honesty in various ways. Some appreciate while others freak out. It may be difficult for your partner to accept the harshness in the truth, but deep inside you will feel good because when it came to honesty, you did your best to be honest. It is good to be honest because you really care for that someone and your partner should appreciate that and realize it.

When your partner is sad, be there and accompany your partner. You may not have the right thing to say but your presence and being a listener makes a difference during this difficult moment. Just listen and understand what your partner is going through and do emphatize. Be a source of support and a shoulder to cry on. If your partner ask you a question during that sad moment, answer it base on how you would approach it and from a general perspective. Not everyone thinks alike and may not accept your answer as a solution to the question.

When your partner is mad at you, listen as there may be something you did not realize or overlooked that has hurt your partner. Apologize if necessary, reason with logic and explain what you feel. Sometimes we accidentally make people mad without intention. However, if you explain your stand I am sure no one can be mad at you and will respect you for that. We are only human people! God never constructed two individuals to be perfectly equal in every way. Accept that there is a difference and give and take. When you give to your partner, make sure your partner knows how to give back if not speak up! Clear the air. We can never be blind followers. Encapsulationg how you feel in the long run is bad because bottled feelings may suddenly erupt out of no where someday leaving your partner confused and may impact the beauty in the relationship! :S Always work things out with the objective of improving the relationship and bringing each other closer. :D I like to see both partners putting in effort towards restoring the connection that unites them. Forgive and forget the past because your relationship is much more meaningful than that tiny inequality.

Love your partner and only your partner. When you tell someone you love them, mean it! Stop going telling ten other people you love them when you are actually confused about your love life or just too desperate of getting someone in your life. When you deal with people, you deal with feelings. Everyone has feelings and you should respect that. You must understand how others feel and are going to accept when you screw up. Also, when you love someone, say it to him/ her. :D Let them know you have feelings and how important they are to you for tommorrow may never come. :( Yes, it is a reality we have to face in this world as no one can predict our life tommorrow.

When both you and your partner are happy, tell it to them to let them know how you honestly feel and that you appreciate your moment with them. Happiness can never be bought or received with gifts but is a natural feeling that comes from satisfaction and inner gratitude towards the presence of each other.Sometimes the little things that you do can make that special someone really happy. To be honest this what matters to me. :P Buying an expensive diamond ring for your partner is not a sign of how much you love her but should be a sign of how much your partner means to you.

Having said all this, cherish these moments. There may come a time when your partner may not be around with you for some reason. That is the time you are gonna feel so upset and F up! You may realize that you could have done better but it is too late. You would have missed those moments that are lost forever and will never repeat in time. We only live life once! Cherish your moment with your partner. Ensure you did the best of your ability you could in that relationship. See the big picture in the relationship and not some minor argument; argument over who will win the next U.S. presidential elections? Lol!

Some people may have already realized this post in their lives while this could be eye-openers to the others to find meaning in their relationship. I am not an expert at this topic but as most people know me I take pride in seeing people happy.
