Have you ever been somewhere, and looked at a couple and thought, "What do they see in each other?" Don't fool yourself, happy couples know that true happiness comes from below the surface.
There are certain things each must do to ensure the success and growth of their relationship, so it doesn't become stagnant and neglected.
Here are three rules I use in my daily life to ensure my relationship is as good as can be.
1.
Accept responsibility.
One of the biggest pressure's people place on a relationship is expecting their partner to be their everything.
Boy, is that asking for disaster.
I take full responsibility for the overall happiness of my life, and my relationship is merely a piece of it.
I can't bring happiness into my relationship if I am personally unhappy in the rest of my life.
Do things on your own, don't neglect your friends and interests.
By accepting responsibility of your own future, it makes it easier in accepting the responsibility you have in contributing to your relationship.
2.
Do what you have to do.
Let's be honest, how a happy relationship works has been kicked around since men have been able to put pen to paper.
However, at the end of the day it all boils down to what you're willing to do for it.
If you want to be happy with your partner ensure you are BOTH doing all that is necessary to make it work, because relationships are work.
Sometimes, you may feel like it's not your problem, or not your issue, but if it's a concern to you or your partner, you both must be willing to work together to ensure of your happiness.
3.
Talk, and talk some more.
I can't tell you how imperative being able to communicate effectively has changed me, and has taken my relationship to another level.
I want to listen to her.
I want to do the things she says makes her happy.
I tell her of my needs, and she genuinely listens, and does the necessary things to make me happy.
Listening is learning.
Loving is living.
And I learned to love listening to the things she was, is and desires to be in the future; both together and individually.
So these are my three rules to happiness.
I use everyday to make my relationship the very best it can be.
I would love to hear what you do to make your relationship be the very best it can be.
Share your story, and just perhaps, you'll give someone the key to their happiness.
