If we want to stay happy longer with our better half, please keep in mind the golden rules and try to keep in mind these two forever.
The expectation is always to have a long, happy partnership —a “happily ever after.” In reality, however, “happily ever after” is never a chance encounter, nor can it be achieved alone. It takes two to Tango.
A healthy relationship isn’t self-sustaining; it’s a reciprocal dynamic that requires intentional effort from both sides. If we want it, we and our partner have to work on it together. And if we work together effectively, there are two things each person needs to accept.
- Schedule dates, whether it's a casual dinner or a special outing, or lunch
- Plan a weekend trip or getaway to spend quality time together away from daily routines.
- Take a vacation to create lasting memories and strengthen the bond.
A Partner Isn’t A Mind Reader. Imagine that we’ve just pulled into the driveway after an impromptu grocery shopping haul. I’ve got more bags to carry inside than I can handle in one trip. We know your partner is inside, upstairs. I think, -Well, I’m sure they’ll come down to help me when they hear me come inside. WRONG.
WE Can’t change our partner’s needs, When a partner has a hobby, we need to embrace it.
If this choice makes them happy. We are the only one being affected, this reaction is a choice. We too could be spending our time doing something fun and lighthearted. If we choose instead to be wishing that they would change, that cross might solely be ours to bear.
We know what they like and enjoy doing for relaxing, so accept it embrace it or move on… And so it goes.
