Relationships - 9 Never-Changing Rules
Copyright 2005 Peter Dobler
In a relationship, your ability to understand and respond
to the other person's needs and desires are fundamental.
Understanding the nature of relationships themselves may be
as important to your success in love as understanding the
person with whom you're having the relationship.
The key to a working relationship is twofold. First you
need to work on a relationship day in and day out. Second
you need the right information to pinpoint where the
relationship needs work. Without this information you’re
simply assuming and assumptions are the enemy to any
healthy relationship.
From puppy love to winter romances, the following is true
of all relationships
1. Relationships Don't Just Happen
Relationships aren't accidents that come out of nowhere;
you create them and you have to make an effort to maintain
them. Remember that the time you invest in others will
always pay off.
2. Relationships are Need-based.
Everyone has their own personal needs and desires; your job
is to figure out those needs since some may be unexpressed
verbally. Not an easy task, therefore you have to focus on
your partner. Ask how you can respond to a desire that she
or he has.
3. Relationships Don't Hold a Grudge
Despite the use of terms like "perfect match," and "perfect
couple," the idea of a perfect relationship is perfectly
ridiculous. We all make mistakes dealing with other people,
so it's important to be overlooked and/or forgive
imperfections in others in order to build strong
relationships.
4. Relationships That Endure Take Time
Relationships are formed with long-term goals in mind. This
means that deep relationships will evolve slowly because
the stakes -- a life partner -- are so great. In this
instance, "haste makes waste" and divorce…or at least an
ugly break-up.
5. Relationships are As Unique as the Folks That Are In
'Em.
No two people are the same and so no two relationships are
the same. Your relationships will deepen and strengthen, if
you can accept the uniqueness of others as a precious gift.
6. Relationships Build You Up.
"My partner brings out the best in me," is the way most
people define the partner that they love. Relationships are
built on encouragement, so always try to make your partner
feel good, even if you're urging them beyond their comfort
zone to a new level of intimacy.
7. Relationships Are Essential.
It may be a dog eat dog world out there, but man is still a
"pack animal," looking for positive healthy relationships.
Once you understand that nothing is more important than
people, you'll communicate that supportive message in
everything you do.
8. Relationships Are For Two.
There is no such thing as a one-person relationship. For a
relationship to thrive it requires cooperation from both
parties, otherwise it's unrequited love (at best) and
stalking (at worst). You can't have a relationship with
someone who isn't interested in having one with you.
9. Relationships are Greater Than the Sum of Their Parts.
In good relationships there is energy -- your energy and
your partners. This energy pushes each of you to strive to
make the relationship work as individuals, and it also
drives you to a shared excellence.
Armed with these rules you should be able to create and
maintain a healthy relationship. Some caution on this
topic. Just because you live and breathe these rules
doesn’t mean that your relationship will be better or a
broken relationship will be fixed. Every situation is
unique and requires different approaches. Use these rules
as a guide and as a guide only.
Unfortunately a small article can’t do justice on the wide
spectrum of creating and maintaining a working
relationship. You will get the complete picture and step by
step explanations in Race Kale’s new book “The Power of
Charisma”.
