LOVE
CHECKLIST
If you think about it
most of us spend more time learning how to drive a car than learning
how to love. Please find below a few pointers:
- Be realistic in what you expect from your partner and your relationship.
Looking for perfection is always going to leave you dissatisfied.
- Long lasting love comes in part from building shared interests
and enjoying time together
- Sex is not the most important part of a relationship, love is
so much more than just physical, what about the mental and spiritual.
- Be willing to compromise.
- Be willing to listen to criticism.
- Be willing to assume responsibility for your own actions instead
of blaming them on somebody else.
- Be direct and honest in communication with your feelings of
your partner.
- Don't try to take responsibility of making your partner happy,
because you can't do it by yourself "it takes two to tango.."
- Don't let your love relationships ruin your other friendships,
boyfriends and girlfriends come and go but your friends are there
for you all the time.
- Don't force your partner in to compromising his or her values
or becoming something that he or she isn't.
- Be willing to admit your weaknesses and uncnertainties.
DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO
FALL IN TO THE "LOVE FALLACY" - THE IDEA THAT ONCE YOU'VE
FOUND LOVE, IT WILL LAST FOREVER AND EVER. FEW LOVES ARE LIKELY
TO LAST A LIFETIME EVEN UNDER THE BEST CIRCUMSTANCES.
