But if you're exclusively concerned about yourself and have zero regards for your partner's needs it becomes negative and psychologically unhealthy.

Tips: Effective Ways to Improve Communication in Relationship

Image
.               Image credit: Shutterstock As humans our need for communication is very high. The level of communication between a man and a woman either make or break the relationship. I realized the reason why communication is still a major problem in relationship is because couples think they hear themselves speak, but actually don’t listen, that is why even with hundreds of thousands books and audios on communication it is still a major problem in relationships. Communication between couples should be easy; it is wrong to get tensed anytime you wish to bring something that bothers you to the notice of your partner. Your conversation should flow natural and be a way you connect with yourselves. But to achieve this you’d need to work on yourself especially if you have a partner who is difficult to communicate with. Tone is Important One key element of communication is tone; it is the foundation where the message is laid on. Your tone conv...

3 Ways To Know Your Partner's Love Language

Image
I have always stated that no relationship is a pedestal of perfection, all have their struggle in all fronts.  The first step to an excellent relationship is discovering your partner's love language. According to Gary Chapman, the author of "The five love languages" he said, "when you reach out to your partner and discover their specific language you help them keep their emotional love tank full and maintain a meaningful connection." Sadly, the best of us are unable to speak our partner's love language even when in a long term relationship. When couples can speak each other’s language,  there will be less tension in the relationship, they will feel loved and appreciated. These three ways will help you discover your partner's love language. Learn to pay attention The first step to discovering your partner’s love language is by learning to pay attention.

The Key To A Perfect Relationship

Image
Experience has taught me that honesty is the most important aspect of a relationship, there is that confidence that comes from within when you know you can trust your partner it makes you feel good about yourself and life in general. Many people feel that keeping secrets or lies from their past may spare their partners some pain, but in most cases this is wrong; no matter how terrible your past was talk to your partner about it, trying to protect them can create a bigger damage. It's surprising when asked about qualities you want in a relationship and honesty comes first when most people are not close to that with their partners. If you intend to keep covering one secret to make things look better it could actually bring your relationship to a catastrophic end; It is better you tell your partner everything and anything than keeping it away from them. The most hurtful thing is for your partner to get to hear of your secrets and lies from someone else this has led to the de...

Help Mate Or Dependant

Image
The holy book made us understand that a wife is supposed to be her husband's help mate and not 100% dependant  on him for everything...that is to say where he is lacking you're to fill in as a wife. Its shocking to see women of this generation totally dependant on their husband not having any means of additional income, when hubby is broke the entire family is broke which in my opinion is totally wrong. You need to hear married women complain of not having a phone to call or  having airtime to make calls and all...these are little things that you can take care of without  your man's help. A super woman in my opinion has her own thing going on for her, even if the husband provides for the family she helps out by surprising  the husband and children to treats once in a while, and doesn't depend on him for everything.. (down to toiletries and undis). I'm not saying it's wrong for a man to take responsibility of his home, but maybe a little help would be wel...

You might have this big dream inside you right now,  but most times when you try sharing it with people you see in their eyes that they have little or no believe in you or your dream don't let that  pull you down you do not need validation from your family, friends, partner and spouse to be that which you are cut out to be. Stop trying to explain yourself don't feel bad and stop dreaming because people you feel should push you or support you think less of you. Keep  dreaming, work hard and at the end you will  have the last laugh. Keep pushing for you and not for anyone you have greatness in you even if every other person is too blind to see, it doesn't mean you give up on yourself, because giving up means giving up on millions of lives you would have changed and touched in the nearest future. Yes they say you complain a lot, yes they say you are difficult to satisfy, well that is because you are different and you know what you want. Trust me there is nothin...
