The best kind of love <3
If you are going to ask the most successful couples about the secrets to making a relationship last, they are probably going to come up with a variety of different answers with some very common key principles. They are most likely to tell you that successful relationships are really built on open and honest communication, patience, gratitude, understanding, empathy, and commitment.
Some relationship experts believe that the whole idea of having a soulmate and having one is downright ludicrous. They scoff at the people who think that thy only ever have one real shot at gaining true love and if they fail, then they will have failed forever. They believe that there is no such thing as finding a perfect match because perfection just doesn’t exist in this life. There is no truth to the idea that love is only afforded to a select few couples.
Relationships are all about having to endure the fact that you’re probably not meant to be together. The strongest relationships are the ones that don’t have it easy. They are the ones who see all the challenges and hurdles that come with being in a relationship and they find a way to overcome them. They understand that love is never a straight path towards the finish line. It’s a maze that both of you are going to have to navigate through together as a couple.
A lot of us are going to have our fair share of insecurities. It’s only normal, of course. We are all human after all. We understand that none of us are perfect and we are all prone to the occasional stumble and setback this especially applies to relationships too.
We get into a loving relationship with someone, but that doesn’t mean the insecurities won’t ever surface. We find ourselves wondering if our relationship is really strong enough. We ask ourselves if our relationship really has what it takes to go the long haul. We wonder if our relationship has the kind of strength and synergy that matches those of the strongest couples we know. We subject our relationships to comparisons with other relationships because we want to get a better idea of just how strong our relationship really is of whether it’s healthy or not.
There is no set blueprint of what a perfect relationship looks like and perhaps that’s what people struggle with the most. There is no ideal rubric to which they can hold their relationship to and they often feel lost in their romance. But that’s completely normal and it shouldn’t worry most couples. All relationships are unique and each one of us can have different experiences that are just as meaningful and as fulfilling as the other.
