What It Takes To Keep Your Relationship

It takes two to set up a relationship and it takes two to build it and it takes two to keep up and make that relationship work.  When a ship is one-sided it might sink, for a relationship to balance up it needs harmony and a good, loving and long relationship needs love, understanding, perseverance and patience.  Sometimes there maybe crisis like quarrel, but who is right or wrong does not really matter, but what matters is how both parties handle whatever the situation is maturely and how you share your views, ideas and settle your grievances. Nobody ever expect or plan a fight with our partners and loved ones  in a relationship, in most cases it just shows its ugly head and its very painful especially if it was a serious argument or fight.

We must learn to understand the gravity on which a relationship stands or established, for every good and loving relationship needs love, understanding, trust, perseverance, endurance and patience, the reason being that two unknown people from different background and different orientation and training decide to come together as one really indicates that there could be conflict because sometimes our opinions may not tally which might lead to little quarrel here and there.  The greatest thing we could do as friends and couples in a relationship are to create room for understanding, endurance and patience especially in times of crisis which I believe is the key to a successful relationship.
