Have you ever been so involved in your relationship that you lost sight of what you really want? This can partially due to the ‘honeymoon phase’ of your union. Or, because you’re so in tune with what your lover wants that you’ve accepted their desires as your own. Before you get too lost in love, remember that it’s important to take a step back every once in a while and evaluate what it is that you want from your relationship.
Many of the feelings and experiences that we have at the beginning of a relationship, are the reasons that we choose to pursue a deeper connection with the one we love. But, it’s not all about the butterflies and the happiness in the beginning.
There are times in a relationship when your partner will struggle. This can be challenging… on both of you. Especially if you’re used to seeing them be strong. If something has unexpectedly has affected them in a way that has caused you concern, it might be time to get involved.
Most relationships start out fun and light-hearted. It’s when you’re discovering one another and learning as much about them as you can.
First dates can be both nerve-wracking and exciting. You may have been crushing on someone for awhile now, or you may have stumbled across his profile page on dating apps such as Tinder or Match.com. But we all want our first encounter with someone new to go well.
We’ve all been there… lingering in the aftermath of a breakup, that we weren’t quite mentally or emotionally ready for. No matter how many times your bestie (or mom) tells you that you’ll be over him soon – or that there’s someone better out there for you – you just can’t seem to escape the very literal feeling of overwhelm or the constant thoughts of what could have been.
Relationships are built on effort and the desire to be and stay connected to your partner. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been involved with your loved one… if you’re reading this post, they mean a lot to you. But being happy in a relationship doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement.
