Because love is not everything: 7 things that weld couples together

How come that couples fail who love each other? Either because the lovers are exposed to adverse circumstances, or because they lack skills that are indispensable in a relationship. Sometimes it's a combination of both.

One thing is certain: You have to open yourself and talk right and time again - and make compromises. You should cultivate these 7 skills to make you a happy couple:

have trust

Admittedly, trust is not without its dangers because you can be surprised badly. But ? Surprise! - It can happen to you if you are suspicious. What's added: Distrust gnaws quietly at the relationship: how did he mean that? Does he not love me anymore? What did he really do last night when he was out? Trust, on the other hand, allows you to open yourself? and that's damn important in a relationship because ...

Really communicate

Many couples fail because they do not communicate properly. They talk about the neighbors, the dinner or the news, but not about what really moves them. Learn to talk about what's going on with you? even if that feels risky or uncomfortable. Otherwise everyone will be left alone and you'll lose sight of yourself at some point.

Have compassion

No couple floats day and night on cloud nine. Everyone has a bad day and everyone says things he regrets later. Especially in difficult times, it is important to try to understand the other and not to make him an enemy.

to make compromises

If you mess your life up with someone else's, you can not live the same way you did before. Each of you has preferences, attitudes and quirks. And they have to be somehow compatible or reconciled. Without compromise, the relationship stifles in the whine.

Be loyal

Loyalty means supporting the partner and being at his side. It also means not cheating on him. If you are both loyal, you always know that you get the support you need. Who is not loyal, has no love relationship.

have patience

It does not always work the way we want it to. Also, accept thirsty ways and do not panic if the relationship does not feel as grand as it once did.

Be attentive

You can not solve your relationship problems if you look away or distract yourself. Look! How is my partnership going? How am I doing with this? How is he? Keep an eye on your relationship so you can resolve issues before it's too late.

Be binding

Commitment gives security. Because it means: No matter what comes, I want to be with you. And not only if you're young, successful, good looking and in a good mood.
