The Ground Rules

Yes it was important for my boyfriend and I to have "ground rules". We did not specifically sit and say these are the rules but we did early on and on a continual basis discuss what we like, don't like and prefer. I am very blessed to have the boyfriend I do as he and I are one in the same. We both want the same things out of life and our relationships. We do not always totally agree but respect one another to discuss the reasons why one prefers over the other. It is very important, in my view that continual discussions happen as how else would I know I was not doing what he prefers and vice verse if we do not discuss them.

If only people could set ground rules before proceeding to continue their relationships, then it would save everybody from all the heartaches (and headaches) later on. And if only I could follow this advice, I know it would save me from heartaches (and headaches!).

Hubby talked about everything before we got married. As for disagreements, if they are just opinions, we will listen to eachother, and if one of us feels the experience has changed our mind, fine, if not, we will agree to disagree. As for mutual decisions, we'll discuss them until we finally agree on something, compromising, and meeting in the middle.

Heyya sarah...I think that ground rules are very important. I can't remember sitting down and discussing them..but my b/f has learned alot about them over the past four years..lol. Most of the ground rules that I have are pretty normal..I mean they are not odd rules and really don't need to be discussed. Only one or two are odd....bellybutton..offlimits..I am very ticklish there and don't want anyone to touch it or breathe on it or look at it We tend to disagree on this occasionally but it is not long before he sees my point.
