Confidence in your partner and relationship..

This post will probably trigger connections to your life, it's my hope that after reading it you'll view things in a different way and apply the advice for the betterment of your relationship. 

The person you're seeing is an A candidate. Everyone says they are the perfect person and everyone adores both of you as a couple. But are you really happy? Or you're in it because you feel its the right thing? At least that's what common sense tells you. Or perhaps you live by men's rules that when something that the world sees as perfect comes your way then in did it's "perfect". 

Can there be a person who offers 100% of our needs? We hold on in the hopes that the person will change or things will get better. As time passes you develop deep emotional attachments with your partner. Those issues that you don't like about your partner will still be there but now you're too deep in it to let go or express your concerns about it. "The quicksand effect".. 

What acts chipper an affectionate bond? At least according to me.. "Keep involved with your partner". Some relationships get stuck in peaceful coexistence, but without truly relating to each other and working together. While it may seem stable on the surface, lack of involvement and communication increases distance. When you need to talk about something important, the connection and understanding may no longer be there. "Conflict resolution". Some couples talk things out quietly, while others may raise their voices and passionately disagree. The key in a strong relationship, though, is not to be fearful of conflict. You need to feel free to express things that bother you without fear of retaliation, and be able to resolve conflict without embarrassment, degradation or insisting on being right. 

"Keeping outside relationships and interests alive". No one person can meet all of our needs, and expecting too much from someone can put a lot of unhealthy pressure on your relationship. Having friends and outside interests not only strengthens your social network, but brings new insights and stimulation to the relationship, too. The healthy kind of friends and interests ;-) "Communicating." Honest, direct communication is an essential part of any relationship. When both people feel comfortable expressing their needs, fears, and desires, trust and bonds are strengthened. Nonverbal cues—body language like eye contact, leaning forward or away, or touching someone’s arm—are critical to communication.

Confidence in your relationship and partner equates to a very healthy and successful relationship
