hi prime, I agree with those remarkable insights on things to avoid in a relationship. It was an enlightenment for any couples out there. All the things needed to have a growing relationship is absolutely there written in this post of yours. YOu are right, for a partner be chosen partner for life is almost considered the other part of us. If there is anything to be laid down at this moment when we talk about real love, that is laying out the best we can be being a partner. Though many commitments and responsibilities awaits in this stage of life. Always Remain as a reward that is said bound true and enduring. A growing instrument in improving the foundation of a working relationship. This only implies, to be the best you can be as partner. Love your partner with all your heart, serve him with all you can offer, accept him if he committed mistakes and guide him to realize those mistakes. Understand him and patiently wait till he able to realize that in all those times, you have done your best at all times.. For, any one who can tell more about a person and can accept the person imperfectness,is the person who can truly love you without expecting so much in return. A part of glance, that when you see your partner even just walking around, staying with you at all times.. is the warmth appreciation of affection and confidence that you are specially loved. For, Many breathless moments, wanting to say and express many love, wanting to share great moments together and the reunion it brings, may remain speechless but the heart will continually say " my heart will always speak and be with you".. as always.. Happy mylotting

Everything is nice and true, but then you get the part where you are suppose to share your feelings with your partner. Strange when we share that it can cause a lot of trouble. So, i don't think i will ever share my feelings again. TATA.

I would like to add something...do not talk about old relationship and dig old memories from previous relationship. I notice most of the couple i know talk about their ex. i myself avoid to talk and prefer not to know because it is really painful. When my partner talk about his ex I will feel pain because I feel like he is still hanging on to his old memories.

prime you really do have it all together here and you are so wise'wow. The one I was guilty of a lot was the one Don't wait for your partner to read your mind. He would say, honey whats wrong? And I would be so upset that he had not figured it out, I would go around all grumpy, and mutter,"NOthing, just nothing"; until one evening he grabbed my hand and made me sit down."Okay tell me what I did or didnt do" I said," you did not listen to me just now when I was telling you about our son's teacher" He got a blank look on his face then He laughed." Oh my I am sorry, tell me again and i will listen.okay?" Mollified I told him again and this time he did listen. so this time we both learned something from each other. He learned to pay me full attention when I told him something, and I learned he could not read my mind no matter how much he loved me. .

Very helpful tips, I will surely follow some of it. I always do read some do's and dont's in a relationship, as much as possible I want to learn from the experts and from those who have been married for many years. I always have this relationship follow up with my husband, where I ask him if he had things he hates about me and what are the things that I need to improve further. We do exchange some thoughts, by doing that I will make him feel secured with my love for him even if he is working far from us.

Those were pretty good tips Prime and guess what i dont want to follow any of those points mentioned above coz if i try to follow them then the one who loves my girl friend wouldnt me----it would be someone else who is so dumb that he couldnt even manage to be himself before his love and i would call him a great actor than to be a good lover.I would be ME before her---no matter what and i know that she is impressed of "Me Myself".I would shout at her when she annoys me and later shower her with my love----small tiffs now and then are damn needy so we get to know as how much we love each other.I dont want to act before her as if i got the greatest heart in this universe---every body have their own flaws so let her know my flaws as well which paves way for a better realtionship. If you Love someone then you should be able to forgive them for their mistakes as well no matter how much they hurt you----that is true in my opinion.great day.

That is a good list to live by. I would probably add when seeking advice about a particular problem or idea, to ask your partner first. I would always make the mistake of aking my friends or family first and then ask my spouse. This would always make her feel secondary in my life. Your spouse/partner may not always have a viable opinion, but at least they were first on your list to talk about it with. Once your partner knows they have valued advice to give, the relationship seems so much more confident for both parties.

thats true all you said^^ sometimes people just dont do it just bcs they are adraid to look weak or feel humiliated. we must forgive yes we must take initiative yes we must not always make the same mistakes we must not lie also we must not wait for the person to read our minds also is true bcs sometimes we dont want to say it we prefer the person finds out what we want him to say or to do and they dont do it or dont understand and we be sad^^ anyway i think you said all the things right. but noone is perfect and sure some of the things you said are not always happening bcs in relations we also need ups and downs to be more strong^^
