There are presently 6 billion people living on planet Earth. World Peace is the ideal for all 6 billion where each live in peace and harmony together, united in healthy relationships, until death by natural causes do they part ways. Let’s start off small and see if we can get two people to live together in peace and harmony for significant periods of time between hurtful behavior.
Have you ever wondered why couples that have it all are so miserable. They have money, children, and their health, yet they find ways to destroy their relationship. Unfortunately, many couples are caught in the throes of grief and misery brought on by selfishness. How could this be?
For a relationship to last, there are few basic requirements. The rapidity with which relationships are breaking in the modern days is a matter of concern and we should try to find out how to make a relationship that lasts for a long time. The major factors that affect the survival of a relationship are as below -
Selection Of Partner – Sometimes, our selection of partner may be wrong. We may have nothing in common and our values and goals may be very different. With bad selection from the beginning, no relationship can survive for long. One of the main reasons of wrong partner selection may be hurry in selection of partner and inattention to the true nature of the selected partner. Sometimes we are attracted to the person that will hurt us the most. This adds to our drama in life which becomes our reason to live more than the pursuit of happiness.
Communication – communication breakdowns are another reason for drama. Partners are unable to tell about true feelings to each other for many reasons which creates further drama as couples fill in their own blanks for what they perceive to be the problems.
Expectations – High expectations in a relationship are another reason for drama. Looking to someone else to meet your needs? If so, your relationship most likely is a product of emptiness and dependency. No one is responsible for your happiness but you. I cannot count the times that couples have asked me what they can do to make the other person happy. If you are asking this question, you have been asked to do the impossible.
Sustaining healthy relationships is difficult. You may want to look at the drama that you are creating that stems from your lack of insight into you own issues surrounding your selfish needs. You happiness is your responsibility and the love and support you receive from your partner is an added bonus. Happiness is not hard to find. You just need to look outside of your own selfish needs to find it!
