It Goes Both Ways, Contributed By @Olawalium

This is me talking about a relationship again hahaha. I am always moved to see people happy and I always want people to continue to enjoy what truly makes them happy. A relationship requires a lot of effort and also a huge level of sacrifice too. You need to go out of your way to make your spouse happy and that is the truth.

She has been a good wife to you or a good partner to you, she goes out of her ways just to make you happy and she would defend you anywhere and anyhow, no matter what, then I think it is not too much to make such a person happy. Try and do so much on days that mean so much to them; birthday, anniversary, or any other day that you can choose to make special for them. It is not too much to ask and do for someone who actually goes through the hoops for you too.

As partners, you should seek to make each other happy. There are things you wouldn’t do normally but you just have to do them to make each other happy. Don’t treat people you care about as ‘common’ and don’t also treat those who care about you as common too. Don’t disparage genuineness of affection because, in the end, you will find yourself holding on to nothing because when you don’t place appropriate value on those who truly matter, soon they will feel unappreciated and it is a massive threat to your relationship.

Never bargain genuine affection by withholding the affection. You need to express yourself freely and let your partner see how much you appreciate him or her. Get rid of the need to control your partner and focus only on caring and loving him or her, and you will see how enjoyable your relationship would be, but when you enjoy dragging things and situations, even a simple compliment or gesture will ultimately lose value. Loving and caring for your partner should go both ways and you will see how easy it could be to love and care for each other.

…to be continued…


Thank you for your time.

We need to appreciate one another, most especially those that show us love, but in this life, if not all times, those that show love don't receive the quota of it which is why you will love and cherish someone only for that person to fall in love with someone else, such is life. We don't always get everything we ever wanted. To me, this life is so complicated. I often ask, does things happen by chance or it is made to happen before it ever happened.

That is why we need to always be prepared and expect the unexpected, so we can turn things around. The warning signs are there and when we find someone we love, there is no guarantee they will love us back. Being yourself and knowing everyone is not meant for you is very vital. Everyone would always do what's best for him or her, so you should too.

You're so right @Olawalium, even her and I do our best to keep the relationship going, the festive days have been a bit difficult to me but I'm outdoing myself this year. They procure us and we must treat them as they deserve, right?

That's so right. You need to give your best even when it is not so easy because that is when it is most appreciated. Anyone can do it if it is easy. We need to treat each other right and never pass up the chance to let our partners know how much they mean to us.

Good one and it's nice to have you here.
