Recommended: The importance of good communication in relationships

After reading “Creating a High Quality Relationship” It helped me understand the process there is when creating a loving relationship. Loving relationships do not just happen or are not found, they are built. I also do agree when in the article mentions that couples assume that all they need in a relationship is love, and that is not true. A relationship needs communication both partners need to be on the same page as far as what they both want. I also agree with the guidelines provided to help create a successful relationship. The first one to me is very true, in order to be able to love and care for someone else you must love and care for yourself. Being able to take care of yourself before taking care of anyone else is important. Making …show more content…

With my past relationships, they were all about “love” or what I thought was love and they never really got very far because we thought that that’s all you need to keep a relationship, we never really communicated like we needed to and never thought about the future we always thought about what was happening in that moment. We were never really clear on what was the greater purpose in our relationship. However before my getting into my current relationship I gave myself some time to figure out who I was and really learn to love my self and learn what I had to offer in a relationship and to my partner. In my current relationship, we both communicate well, and we both know what we want for our future. We both know what we want to accomplish in our relationship. We have more than love to offer. We both have the goal of buying a home in the outsides of town where we can have horses, cows, bulls and other farm animals. A place where kids can grow up and be able to play freely. A place full of peace and quiet away from the city. With my current relationship I realized how important it is to be able to communicate and have the same goals for the future, it helps work towards something both partners

  • Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson: Love And The Power Of Love

    A big thing that people may disagree with is that love is supposedly “conditional” (108). According to Fredrickson, “'just as our body is designed to extract oxygen from the Earth’s atmosphere, our body is designed to love” (105). If love is supposedly such an engraved ability, why would it need conditions? Well, as amazing as our brain can be, it is not able to hold huge amounts of information. It will automatically discard of unused information after a short while. So basically, if we want to maintain love, we have to keep renewing acts of love. This explains why many relationships tend to fail. It is very common for people to lose feelings for someone and it is solely because people do not know how to self-generate love. However, it is not our fault, no one has taught us how to love, we just follow our hearts and go with it. But with integration of love 2.0, we will be able to achieve that status of “relationship goals”. Fredrickson simplifies this idea by revealing that love has two preconditions, safety and connection. In maintaining a safe environment, we can continue to bless each other with the gift of positive

  • Romantic Love Is a Poor Basis for Marriage

    607 Words  | 2 Pages

    Aside from the science behind love, a relationship cannot subsist upon affection alone. While a sense of endearment is helpful, it is not the most important part of a successful relationship. A couple must learn to communicate effectively in order to move forward in their relationship, a couple must also have a personal compatibility and be able to complement each other well. A couple must also be flexible with each other and be able to resolve conflict well, in order to have a workable relationship. Unfortunately, very few couples realize the amount of effort that must be put into a relationship and enter into things blindly. Many could argue that this is why, on average, a marriage in the US only lasts about 8.8 years and American marriages have a divorce rate of over 40 percent.

    We have seen or experienced many ups and downs in relationships, but what does it take to make the perfect intimacy in a couple today? Before we reach adulthood, we've been through a lot of change mentally and physically mainly at our peak teenage crisis, where we indulged ourselves in seeing someone at a younger age, thinking she/he could be the perfect soulmate, but it has never been the case - probably 2 out of 10 have made it through to their expectation.  The bond that was created sounded so profound but was at its highest flaw in many different angles, maybe due to our teenage immaturity.  However the effectiveness  and experiences gained from our past have made a great impact about our knowledge in bonding the intimacy with 'the other half' later in life, but while some are still looking for the perfect soulmate, others are finding it hard in pursuing their love relationship.
