What makes a good relationship; actually it’s the 3 C’s.
The first is compatibility.
This is important for the success of your
relationship, it means being able to live happily
together.
Compatibility is something that can be enhanced with
time, effort and exercising of the other 3 C’s care,
compassion and consideration for each other.
It also helps if you share common interests,
enjoy spending time together, have a similar sense of
humour and a sense of fun.
The second of the 3 C’s is Commitment.
You need to let one another know that you are
committed to the relationship and to show this by
working to maintain and improve it.
Commitment is the foundation of any genuinely
loving relationship.
It shows how much you value your life together.
It is a very big one and this is often why people
find it very nerve-racking on their wedding day.
And number three, Communication.
Talking and attentive listening are important in
your relationship.
It is all part of sharing your lives and offering
support to each other.
Even voicing concerns is positive as long as it
is done in the right way.
Couples who can argue without getting upset and
without making it a personal attack have a much better
chance of resolving problems and staying together.
A lot of these courses are absolutely fabulous because
they get you both talking about things that maybe you
would be too scared to confront just by yourselves.
They help you explore some of the skills needed
to strengthen and keep the relationship alive and
enjoyable.
Topics vary however the following are a general idea of
what is done:
·
Building and Strengthening your relationship
·
Learning practical ways to deal with challenges
·
Set your individual and shared goals for the future
·
Manage changes in your lives and relationship; and
·
Deepen your understanding of each other
If you are experiencing any challenges in your
relationship this will help you both to find a common
level that, you can then work to and move on.
“We have travelled several rocky roads together
Sometimes I didn’t think that we would get this far
Three children and ten years later we are more a couple
than we ever were
Years of trying to polish off the edges because we both
possessed the will to try
What we got is one of life’s great treasures; a garden
on the shifting sands of time
Love demands a kind of self surrender that sometimes is
with difficulty won
All who join in marriage must endeavour to make
another’s happiness their own
This sacrifice quite often seems so easy, but day by day
and year by year its not.
Trust enables one to love completely living with one’s
charity unlocked
Our love is like a deep in verdant valley nestled in the
mountains of desire
Though all of life’s a dream that passes quickly
We’ve made a place around the circling stars”.
This weeks ZIP or ZAP
Always try and resolve your differences before bedtime.
Love Annie.
