How to succeed in Relationships.
Many
a times people ask different questions related to relationships. They are
interested in physiology relating to what people are attracted to, how to
tell whether they are attracted to a person and a little on maintaining a
relationship. Also what are the best ways of interacting with others to make
them and yourself feel comfortable. Something with relatively sharp
statements like "Often people will quickly raise their eyebrows when first
looking at someone they are attracted to." or "It takes 7 weeks for someone
to lose an emotional attachment to a person." or something that discusses
those quick flashes of distress people may have in their face when there
lying.
Before you begin actually working on your relationship, you need to start by
understanding relationships in general. In working with many couples over
the years, experts have come to recognize common themes that run through
both the successful and difficult relationships. There are four important
factors in a good relationship - Feeling accepted, Feeling as though your
partner has influence over you, Not telling your partner something she
already knows, Keeping judgments about the other person’s issues or problems
to a minimum.
A couple doesn't really know how strong a relationship is until they deal
with the challenges that life brings. Whether it is starting a new job,
unemployment or the unfortunate occurrence of an accident or family illness,
we all face challenges in life. The Challenge Stage lets the partners know
what they can expect from each other during these demanding times.
The friends relationship
Lets take an example of Best friend relationship. What is expected out of
it? It shouldn't be so casual as to make a list of qualities that a best
friend had to have. A best friend is very very special all that's important
is that you both really enjoy each others company. It is not uncommon for a
growing person and their bestest dearest friend to drift apart as you both
will change as you get older,
interests change and you each go down your own separate path of life.
Don't sweat it. Understanding, compassion, empathy, passion, listening,
communicating, loving, etc are some other traits we look for while looking
for a best friend.
Some tips to carry the relationship
First figure what your fears are. Are you afraid of getting involved with
someone seriously, in fear of getting dumped in the long run? Or has a past
relationship damaged your image of love; due to the pain it caused you?
These are all understandable fears and almost everyone has them, but you
should not let these fears stop you from moving on or being happy. You need
to rebuild confidence in yourself and others. Other examples would be fear
of not being good enough and fear of missing out on other adventures.
Whatever your fear may be, you must trap that fear, find out the causes and
then work on a solution on how to conquer them.
Some tips to remember for relationships

Great relationships are completely worth the effort.
In spite of lots of bad relationships, a great relationship is possible.
