Filed under Commitment, Happiness

This week’s relationship advice e-zine discusses the role of commitment in a happy, healthy relationship.

We all want to be in a committed relationship. In order to get our partner to commit to our relationship, we have to first be willing to demonstrate our commitment to ourselves.

What are some of the ways you reveal your commitment to yourself, and therefore reveal your commitment to your relationship? How do you show your commitment to your partner in your relationship?

Agree to disagree; valuable in all relationships

Filed under Arguments, Communication, Happiness

This week’s relationship advice e-zine talks about the value of “agreeing to disagree” with your partner.

Disagreements are part of all relationships, even the happiest ones.  Some issues however, touch our personal “hot buttons”. These are sensitive issues that will never be resolved between a couple.

What are some of your personal “hot buttons” which you and your partner will never see eye to eye about?

If you could live anywhere in the world with your partner, where would it be and why?

There are so many beautiful and romantic places in the world. Would you prefer the skiing in the Scandinavian Mountains or the balmy shores of the Caribbean Islands? Or maybe you would live on a sailboat and sail around the world?

What is your favorite love song?

When you listen to music you would think that almost every single song is about love, romance and relationships – in one form or another. Do you and your partner share a favorite love song and if so, what makes this song special to your relationship?

Young love, old love, true love, false love. Love seems to be a pretty popular theme for songwriters. My belief is that everybody sings love songs because everybody loves a love song.

With music considered to be a universal language, perhaps it makes perfect sense that most songs address what everybody universally seeks: love and romance in their relationships.

Do you communicate about what you need/want in your relationship?

Filed under Communication, Happiness

Tell us how you ask your partner for what you want and/or need from your relationship.

Do you stand on ceremony and expect your partner to be able to read your mind? Are you guilty of the belief, that if your partner really understands you, they would know what you might want and/or need from your relationship?

This week’s relationship advice e-zine titled: “3 Simple Steps to Ask for What You Want and Need in Your Relationship so You Get It” does just that. Read it and learn how to ask for what you want and need in your relationship so you get it.

Do other couples envy you and your partner?

What do you and your partner share in your relationship that you know other couples envy and would love to have?

Maybe the grass is really greener on the other side of the fence when it comes to some relationships. While some couples might fake being happy, we all know some genuinely happy couples (I hope).

You can tell by the way they might carefully listen to each other when they are having a conversation or merely by the way they look at each other across the room. Remember, these happy couples share life’s burdens and difficulties too. They have a found way to stay connected and intimate with each other perhaps because of these burdens.

How is criticism impacting your relationship?

0
Filed under Arguments, Blame, Communication

Why do you think you criticize your partner for the silliest things, especially when you know they are only trying to help you out?

The old American Indian adage, “walk a mile in someone’s moccasins before you criticize them”, applies to all types of criticism. Maybe it is just human nature that compels us to think we do something better than others, especially our partners.

If we realized how damaging our innocent little criticisms are to our relationships, we would realize they accomplish nothing and potentially destroy everything. “Think before you criticize” is the title of this week’s e-zine. Once you read it, you might want to stop and “think before you criticize” your partner.
