When You’re In a Good Relationship, You Learn These 10 Things
When You’re In a Good Relationship, You Learn These 10 Things
1. Misunderstandings are inevitable.
Misunderstandings are going to happen. If you take your partner’s words one way, then learn they meant something totally different, don’t punish him or her. Let it go.

2. Trust.
You
have to trust your partner. Why would you share your life with someone
when you think they’re doing something wrong every time you turn your
back? If you don’t trust your partner to be faithful, honest, caring or
anything else, then you’re not in a good relationship.
3. Let yourselves miss each other.
You’re in love, so you want to be together all the time! It’s so fun to cuddle all night and be together all day, but when will you have time to experience different things?

4. Encourage growth and change.
In a good relationship, both partners are encouraged to grow and change. You have one life to live — you should explore it to the fullest! If you want to quit your job and go back to school, your partner should support you.

5. Compromising doesn’t mean you’re weak.
Compromising doesn’t mean “giving in.” It doesn’t mean that you lost the fight. In fact, it’s the opposite.

6. Admit your weaknesses.
Your partner doesn’t expect you to be a superhero, and hopefully you don’t expect that of them! We’re all human; we all have flaws.

7. Sometimes you can only accept things, not fix them.
People have baggage. You have some. Your partner has some. Can you go back and erase all of this? Nope! You’re stuck with it, and have to learn to deal with it.

8. Forgive quickly and truly.
Whenever you have a fight, don’t worry about who wins or who loses. Learn from the fight — from what was said as much as from how it was resolved.

9. Never expect anything.
Don’t expect your partner to read your mind, or to bring you breakfast in bed, or to offer to wash the dishes.

10. Show your feelings.
The worst thing you can do in a relationship is play games. Don’t tease your partner; don’t “reward” good deeds with love and affection.
