From Solo to Soulmate: 10 Relationship Game Changers for Every Stage (Singles, Dating, Engaged & Married!)
While you’re looking at another woman, another man is looking at yours… Learn to appreciate what you have and thank God for it. Why eat a burger when you’ve probably got steak at home?
Fidelity, loyalty and trust are still the most highly valued virtues in a relationship. Whereas these virtues cost nothing, most people spend a ton of cash just to maintain a relationship.
The test of a relationship is not when everything looks rosy and happy. The real test of a relationship is when life is hard. That's the only time you can tell if a person really loves you for who are.
If you want your partner to hold their head high whenever they're out with you, and you want them to feel proud of you, make sure that you always act with integrity, honesty, compassion, thoughtfulness, and kindness.
Your partner should never be compelled to cover up for your mistakes, make excuses, or apologize on your behalf, or carry your cross. Don't go to social events then get embarrassingly drunk.
Put each other first. Remember, your partner is you, and you are your partner. You're not blood-related, and definitely, your partner is not your brother, your sister, or your mother. Don't try to treat them as such, otherwise they'll feel offended and unresected.
In a strong relationship, faithfulness is more valuable than money, and although money and flowers may soothe some of the unfaithfulness, your partner will always feel betrayed and will harbor this deep-seated desire for revenge.
Do not get tired of telling your partner you love them, because if love is not expressed verbally consistently and through action, it is perceived as if it doesn’t exist.
The greatest mistake you can make in a relationship is to hide a secret from your partner. If you had a steamy, past relationship, tell them. If you're addicted to porn, tell them. If you're going through a financial crisis, tell them. Then you can try and solve the problem together. That way, your partner feels respected and trusted, and the relationship grows stronger.
Respect your partner's feelings, ambitions, and goals and even give them your full support. They will respect you back, love you more, and even support your own feelings, ambitions, and goals.
