Foundations to a strong and lasting relationship

Good afternoon everyone, it is a beautiful, yet chilly day here in Chicago, and also a good time to write down a thought or some advice of mine.
The key to having a long lasting relationship whether you're in an interracial relationship or not is TRUST and COMMUNICATION. Having these two important things in a relationship can make or break it. With trust in a relationship, you have to be able to trust one another with certain things. Like for example, if your gf/bf want to go out with their friends, then you have to trust them that they will not do anything. With that being said, the trust has to earned and proved in the relationship on both sides. If you two as a couple can accomplish that then there should be nothing to worry about. Myself for instance trust my boyfriend very much. We are very honest with each other and tell each other everything. If he doesn't like something that I may want to do, or if I don't like something he may want to do, we work it out and try to compromise the situation. I see so many young couples get torn apart because they don't have trust for one another, or they let other people tell them what their girlfriend or boyfriend is doing. That is another issue. Too many couple let people outside of the relationship get into their business. My boyfriend and I strictly do not let anyone interfere with out love. Because when that happens, people start to think that they can tell you how your relationship should go. Your relationship should only be between two people. That is YOU, and your significant other.

The next BIG important thing that is very much needed and should always be carried out through a relationship is communication. I can not express enough how important communication is in a relationship. Communication is the base for everything you do in your relationship. Knowing how to communicate with each other is very important. With this skill you both learn how to read each other, and know when there is something wrong. Also it is very helpful to guys, because sometimes as women we think our guys should automatically know what is wrong with us, when they don't. They need to be told what is going on, and what is happening. My boyfriend Mike and I sometimes have a hard time communicating with each other, because we both are so stubborn. But at the end of the day we end up coming together and talking it out. That is what it's all about, being able to come together and resolve your issues. I'm not saying this will be easy, but overtime you all will get it, and have a better understanding for each other.

Thanks to all who read my post, I really appreciate it, and I hope you continue to ready and enjoy. XOXO

Saying the words "I love you"

Saying the words I love you to your significant other, really means the world to them. Not only saying the words, but actually showing them can really make the whole relationship better.

There's too many people in this world that thinks that love is overrated. Me, personally think that love is what you are inside and is also what you make it. Everyone shows love in different ways. Love to me, must be the most profound and hardest emotion. There are people who say the words I love you, and don't actually mean it or know the meaning behind loving someone.

You must love your significant other as much as you love yourself or more. This let's them know every single day that you care and will always be there for them. Just don't throw around the word love because they say it to you. Say it back and mean it, cause only true love comes around every blue moon.

Thanks everyone for reading my posts. I hope you enjoy, and continue to read them. XOXO
