A Guide To Love And Relationships
A Look At The Dynamics Of Love &
Relationships In The Modern World
Bad Relationships and
Love
Relationships are either built out of
stone, or else built on sand, which later falls beneath
the broken hearts in the world, and the pattern
continues.
When a relationship is built on stone the
foundation often stands, since love, trust, honesty,
communication and other elements that compose a
relationship continues throughout the terms of the
commitment. On the other hand, relationships built on
sand lack the elements required to make love grow and the
relationship stand.
The love and relationships that intend to
love their partner as they would love them self by
respecting the partner are good relationships that last.
Bad relationships are built on “You trust me, but I
decide if I will trust you.” Selfishness composes bad
relationships, since one or both parties are out for
gain, rather than to give and share.
Selfishness is an egotist state of mind
where the person feels that someone owes him/her
something. Rarely do they consider what they owe; rather
they believe that the world is forever in debt to them.
When a person feels the world owes them, they often lack
consideration, respect, loyalty, faithfulness, and
commitment. The egotistic minds often base relationships
with family, friends and mate on what can I get from
you. At the onset of a bad relationship, the joining
mate with egotistical thinking will lead the mate on,
making him or her believe good intentions come with the
partner. In other words, the person leads the mate to
believe that he or she has the best interest of the
partner and of the relationship in mind. Often this type
of relationship will move along fast, since the partner
with egotistical thinking strives to prevent the other
mate from noticing their real
intentions.
These types of relationship are built on
sexual interest rather than true love. As the
relationship progresses, the mate, believing that good
intentions were intended at the beginning, often find out
when it is too late that the relationship is actually
heading down a dead end road, with only one partner
working.
Different relationships in the world boil
down to good or bad relationships. When two people join
in intimate relations, both parties must work hard to
make the relationship work. A bad relationship will
utilize tools believing that the mechanisms will keep the
spice in his or her life when they feel tired out of the
mate. In other words, a bad relationship focuses on
sexual gratification, which never occurs, since he or she
tires out quickly. The person may engage in pornographic
reading or viewing, promiscuous relationships, violence,
and so forth to gratify this desire.
The love given by these people are
superficial love that focuses on gain. Desire is the
seated root of their intention and thus, they will lack
the elements that make love work. Few egotistical types
change over time, while others become more aggressive and
seek harder to gratify their desires. The ultimate desire
of these people is to please themselves, while taking
what they can get from others, and at the same time
manipulating others into believing they (the
manipulators) are good souls.
If you are searching for love and
relationships, the World Wide Web, bars, and other unsafe areas
are not the place to search. Some people go to Church hoping to
find their soul mate, but even churches pose threats, since
true worship is un-existing. Thus, when searching for love and
relationship take the wise word of caution, and heed to the
voices of the past that tell you, love will come when you
are least expecting it to arrive. Thus, you do not look for
love; rather love will come to you if you allow room for it to
arrive.
Loneliness is one of the key tools that
land hungry souls in bad relationships. Bad relationships
are neglecting, failure directed, and sometimes abusive.
If you are in a relationship and your partner is out for
self-gain, thus take warning now, since in most instances
failure is the path you will walk. Some self-seeking
souls may turn violent, or frequently neglect their mate.
The partner will disrespect, and place ongoing doubt in
the mind of the partner, until a breakdown occurs, and
sometimes the breakdown is by emotion.

Love
and Relationships - Appreciating The Romantic
Within
While jumping headfirst into
‘romance mode’ is fun and exciting, after a
while it will start to become stale just like a
relationship can. Being romantic can
always be fresh and fun as long and the couple
understands what the motives are behind the
romance and the underlying intentions.
Understanding romance is the most important
part of being romantic.
When you decide that you want
to begin being romantic, you usually take it
slow and carefully consider what your partner
likes and prefers when it comes to gifts,
actions and gestures. Each romantic
expression should have a significant meaning
behind it. How you are going to be
romantic is far more important that why you are
going to be romantic. The process of how
you are going to be romantic generally
encompasses the ‘why’ in a much bigger way and
is far more effective in conveying any
message.
When you first met your
spouse, you most likely experienced the ‘crush’
or ‘puppy love’ phase of your
relationship. While you may experiences
moments of similar feelings, it is almost
impossible to recreate that feeling after
spending years together. However, you can
always have passion with your spouse.
Wouldn’t you agree that passion is much more
desirable than ‘puppy love’?
When you hear people talking
about relationships, you often hear them
mention the word ‘chemistry’. Why is it
that people value chemistry with another person
over compatibility? If you think about
it, compatibility coupled with romance equals
passion. Would you prefer basic chemistry
or passion in your relationship?
When you look at your partner
and you consider being romantic, try not to
look too deeply into his or her gender.
Gender biasing can really deflate a wonderful
intention, especially when it comes to
romance. Respect your spouse as the
unique individual that he or she is and never
allow stereotypes to enter into your romantic
intentions. Never point out what you are
doing, though! It will be noticed on some
level by your spouse. Not only will it be
noticed, but it will also be greatly
appreciated.
You need to remember that no
one is perfect especially when it comes to
matters of the heart- this includes
romance. You are not and will never be an
expert at any point! You will, however,
learn and improve as time goes on. Your
spouse will teach you through reactions and
suggestions as long as you pay attention.
It is all worth the time and effort, as life
passes by too quickly not to be a hopeless
romantic.
No matter how many years
you’ve been living with the same person, you
may think that they don’t want romance but it’s
not the case. Everyone wants to have a
tremendously rewarding and romantic
relationship. It’s not an exaggeration to
include every single person on the
planet. The way in which romance is
carried out is usually what makes each
relationship unique and sometimes even a
challenge! Everything worthwhile takes a
little bit of work, but what is more worthwhile
than a lasting romance with your spouse?
You’ll discover that being a romantic makes
both of you happier than most other
people.
You may be a victim of
believing what truly are romance myths.
These myths can be very dangerous in a
relationship over time and they tend to breed
resentment. Make sure you know the
difference between truth and myth. It
might just be the change you need to point you
in the right romantic direction.
