Forever Relationship Ingredients

It is good to define ideas of how you want your healthy forever relationship to be. Please don't be like me and find the lesson buried in the whirlwind's aftermath. It doesn't have to be that tough if you know what you want.

Being in love-A powerful multidimensional connection that brings 2 people to a shared understanding, open vulnerability, willingness to compromise, while encouraging exploration and growth. A Shared emotional abundance that makes everything in life more meaningful and fulfilling.

Openness-Sharing individual natures and daily activities.

Trust-Allowing each person to do anything they desire within threshold of each others' feelings...Not needing continuous explanation.

Playfulness-Having fun and reminding each other of the meaning of life.

Independence-Space to be oneself.

Understanding-The fortitude to meet the needs of others, even if sometimes different from yours, without excusing your own needs. Try to look through the other person's window before deciding to be upset.

Affection-Intimacy, touching, flirting, attention and love passing between each other.

Effort-Reciprocated energy between 2 people that confirms interest in each other.

SUMMARY: All of these ingredients will contribute to a long healthy relationship. The amounts may totter about but will come to a balance provided the players both have similar fundamental goals.
