Strengthen a Loving Relationship

Love relationships can be difficult at times with varying degrees. They
can keep you in a constant state of anger, make you not want to see
the person, and even the thought of that person can put knots on  your
stomach. On the other hand, there are times when things are bliss. You
have loving thoughts for the person, enjoy their company, and there is
always understanding and agreement. And of course, there are
relationships that are somewhere in the middle; the area for the
majority of relationships.
 
One thing is certain, that for a relationship to flourish, the good times
have to predominate the bad times. Good times predominate when
there is a mixture of understanding, respect, generosity, unselfishness,
trust, levelheadedness, empathy, and even creativity. Both members
need to be on the same team. In addition to having in common love,
ideas, and interests, a common space also needs to be maintained.
That is not stating that everything has to be shared, because it doesn't.
The key is to respect the differences.
