Relationships is when partners or lovers know or trust one another very well. A confidants of one another. It is a commitment. Lovers want commitment because of their love. COMMITMENTS which are guarantees that you are happy to give and receive.
Relationship can be full of fun, romance, excitements and heartaches too. It is the most challenging part of our world. People talk endlessly about love, but what it is? LOVE, that they believe some of the important factor includes physical and emotional intimate relationships. But how to have a healthy relationship?
LOVE..people talk everywhere--radio talk, newspapers, artist, psychologists, movies, and even religion accross the world. We all fantasize about it, but why there are still people who are afraid to commit? Is it because of the fear of loss control? The fear of intimacy? or the fear of getting hurt? How about you, are you in a healthy relationship? Why did you say so?

Hello there sharie16!Yes, I am in a healthy relationship. It is full of love, romance, excitements and yeah, from time to time, a little pain.
There are some people who are constantly in search for true love. It's sad though that their idea of true love is something perfect. Something of course that may not be found in this lifetime. In my case, I may not be in a perfect relationship but it is definitely something that I am happy about.

Yeah, some people are in search of true love and they mistakenly view that it must be something perfect. People can never be perfect, but love can be. Why waste time searching for perfect person when you can create relationship close to perfect. Well I must congratulate you for being happy in a relationship you are with, and hopefully to have more improvements on your relationship.

i think my boyfriend and i have a healthy relationship. he's my first boyfriend :) we've been together for a year and a month now. we've been through some rocky roads that almost made me to give up. but these trials just made us stronger :) our relationship was founded in friendship that made it stronger too :) we learn to compromise on our differences.
some people are afraid to commit for some reasons. maybe their past relationship did not end up well or did not run as what they expect it to be. people tend to expect more in a relationship which for me is not good. others are afraid to commit because they think they cannot take it when its over. fear of getting hurt and intimacy may also be one of the causes.

I'm afraid to say that since he is your first boyfriend, maybe you are still lacking some point of view if you are in a healthy relationship. But as of now that you are enjoying your relationship, I mean you will still encounter a lot of rocky roads as you say, and hopefully when you get there you are both working to make it better. It'sgood to know that your friendship made it stronger, keep it that way. Hopefully your first boyfriend would be the man you end up with to marry you and have kids. And as of now all you have to do is to make the best you can be in whatever you can contribute to your relationship to make it much better... Happy posting!
