5 Tips For Successful Relationships

5 Tips For Successful Relationships!" 

"Love conquers all, right?" Well----it's suppose to. 
But most marriages will end in divorce. Most of their 
problems are about the children, money, or in-laws. 
When couples commit to a long relationship, there are 
specific personality traits they should have in common. 
1. Similiar physical texture (thick skinned/thin skinned)
2. Similiar emotional stability
3. Similiar degree of tolerance
4. Similiar intelligence/understanding of situations
5. Similar Interests

Without these five traits, the couple live on difference
planes, different worlds. They are inclined to drift 
apart.

Couples grow by adjusting to their differences, but some
times, the amount of the difference may be too much.

Love provides the reason for being willing to adjust to
the other person's difference from yours.

A frequent question is; "How do I know it's real love?" 
The answer may be that when you are enjoying something 
special - ex: a movie, a sunset, flower, song, and you 
long to have your partner to share it with. The
degree of longing will determine how much in love you are.

Growth in a relationship should come from; doing things 
together, allowing things to happen, accepting them as 
is, and changing what you can. It involves sharing and 
caring. 

Couples usually don't mind working at their relationship
as long as they have a closeness to each other. They 
don't want divorce, they want understanding. Divorce is 
usually a rebellion at not being able to get through to 
each other. The couple are still in love, that's why it
hurts so much to part.

There is a story of a couple who had been engaged for 
seven years. The young lady didn't have the courage to
commit. They had their personalities profiled and
learned to adjust to each other's personalities. They 
understood each other as individuals and their relationship
flourished.
