Relationships are a vital part of human life. From the kids in pre-school class, to the teenager who meets with his first love, to the junior executive who needs to get ahead in his career, to the business owner who needs to give his workers a sense belonging; it is obvious that we all need relationships. It is also a well known fact that, the quality of the relationships you keep will have a significant impact on the quality of your life and your sense of fulfillment. It is therefore important for you to know how to maintain your quality relationships, and this article reveals a very important way to add value to your relationships.

The foundation of every successful relationship is effective communication. To build a sound relationship, you need to learn how to express your exact feelings to the other person; but more importantly, you need to be a very good listener. Everyone has something to tell, it could be what gives us joy, sadness, or about things that cause us to worry and fret, no matter what the story is, we all treasure people who take out time to listen to us. Becoming a patient listener is therefore a sure way to build long lasting relationships. But there is a huge pitfall to avoid once you choose to become a listening partner – forgetfulness.

You’d admit that nothing hurts your friends quite as much as when you forget important details about them, or special ’secrets’ they’ve shared with you. Imagine the strain you put on your relationships each time you forget a friend’s birthday, a prearranged visit, or what you guys discussed just last night. It’s never a pretty situation to be in.

This puts us in some-what of a fix; listening adds much more value to your relationships, but forgetfulness could take each relationship right back to ground zero.

The Conclusion:

It would be worth your while to really concentrate when discussing important issues with a partner and you could even go a step further by learning some basic memory improvement techniques. If sustaining that relationship is truly important to you, then it would take only a little bit of discipline and sacrifice to work it!

valentina o asked:


(im using my sister’s account so i am a guy)
She s so down and i know she waits until I m asleep so she can cry for hours and sometimes i comfort her and sometimes i leave her to it because i know she s trying to keep it secret from me. What i find confusing is that half the time she is so cheerful and funny and playful, i find it very confusing. How can i approach this and help her?
Is it something i m doing? On the whole our relationship is really strong, we ve been together a year and we love each other. (Both 19)

Bianca007 asked:


i’ve known this guy for 7 years, and the last 3 years my feelings for him seem to be getting stronger. We are pretty close family friends. At my sisters wedding, the chemistry between us was very strong. We have definitely passed the boundaries of flirting. We’ve shown through actions that we like each other, but i want to tell him. Our only issue is really age difference. Keeping this love secret is more unbearable than rejection itself. What should i do? (keep in mind i know i truly do love him, and that he got out of a bad relationship in the summer)

Tom asked:


I’ve been best friends with this girl all throughout high school. We hang out, talk, do all the things best friends do. A few months ago I felt a surge of romantic feeling for her. It was stronger and longer-lasting (still feel it till this day) than anything I previously felt for any other girl.

Unable to bear it anymore, I asked her out. Unfortunately, I was denied. After that, things were naturally a little awkward until at one point, she expressed her intense discomfort with me and the way I was acting (I honestly felt I was trying to get over her). I apologized and told her that I would back off for a while and let her relax and get back to me when she was feeling better about the whole situation.

After about a month (that felt like eternity), she started to resume normal communication with me. So for the past two months we’ve been best friends again (except she doesn’t hug me, which I understand). However, I am still left with my strong feelings for her.

My question is this: Would I be foolish to perhaps “wait” for her and see if she changes her mind (she has expressed liking for another guy)? Meaning that I can date other girls but still keep myself open to the possibility of a relationship with her. Or should I just try and move on, staying friends with her (easier said than done, I know)? (I’m a senior in HS, about to go to college)

ghettoera asked:


I’ve been best friends with this guy for about a year now and in December he told me he had a huge crush on me and has since May. I pretty much had felt the same way. The problem is he lives 800 miles away. He came to visit me for 6 days at the end of December. Since we both don’t want to have an nternet relationship, we decided to stay friends. We pretty much are boyfriend and girlfriend, but there’s no stress and pressure to keep a relationship strong. I’ve become too attached to him and he’s the kind of person who is afraid of becoming to close to someone, so he keeps distancing himself from me. I feel so heartbroken and wonder if I’m wasting my time. It’s just the fact that I feel so rejected by him. In real life everything was perfect and we we’re so in love. Now he just keeps it at a friendship. He loves me and I love him, but I just feel so shut down. What do I do? Should I try not to become too attatched? Am I over-reacting? I’m really depressed.

Tosin Ajibowo asked:

The number one key issue to consider on why relationships break up is starvation and neglect seeing the moment you stop feeding your relationship it begins to wither and eventually dies off.

Think of your relationship as a young plant that is newly budding- it requires the right amount of sunshine, nutrients (food) from the soil, air from the atmosphere, time and effort (work) to bring it to maturity.

In pretty much the same way, starting a relationship, feeding and nurturing it requires your input, contributions, investments of time, effort and attention for it to be long lasting.

Right from the moment that you decide to start off a relationship, you will need to consider how well and how best the options and prospects you stand to gain as well as what is in it for any other party involved/concerned too.

There is no relationship that succeeded yet on the sole effort of a single individual. Rather, both individuals involved in that relationship must make out time to equally invest (contribute and endeavor to add value from time to time) in it.

Building a lasting relationship requires work.

As an individual, you must have realized that life in general is about relationship- the sun, moon, stars and the sky all have a relationship with each other; plants, vegetation, soil and animals in the wild all co-exist in a relationship; the wind, seas and ocean floor creatures have a relationship of their own; man, woman and all the forces of nature as a whole have a relationship that will continue to exist as well as last aeon of years to come.

Suffice to note that relationship forms the bedrock of existence on earth (this holds true for animate and inanimate things alike).

A relationship is a give and take arrangement of sort- both parties involved must learn to strike a balance between their expectations and the efforts made to invest tangibly in the relationship.

Conceding on many occasions for a partner who is lackadaisical over the relationship will not work at all- this is so where it is only one of the two individuals involved that does either the giving or receiving.

Both parties involved from time to time must learn to switch (i.e. oscillate) between these dual roles of either receiving from the relationship or giving back to the relationship as occasion demands.
