How to Enjoy Your Relationship and Be Happy

Ok, this is freestyle. Just my own point of view. Everyone deserves to be happy, our choices are important factors of what brings about the happiness. First thing first is to makesure you choose to be with someone that makes you happy. Be it for the love, companionship or even money (not a good choice though...lol). When you are making a choice, be sure it is someone you can see very early in the morning and still be happy with the choice you made.
    Communication is very important. One party must always be able to tell or predict what the other party is doing at any point in time. Make it a habit to talk about the present and the future. People say couples gossip alot, that is so right. Talk about everything from one gist to another (Only when less busy....lol). Communication builds constant relationship even between siblings. When you chat with your partner you will see the eagerness of you wanting to do it again. For me, we find ourselves chatting about childhood, high school days and having a good laugh about "silly" things we did. it's so much fun talking.
    Pet names are so cute. You could even change each other's pet names from time to time. Say things that would make your partner smile from within. You could let each other know how happy you are to have them and how important he/she is to you. If you havent been doing this then start.
   Disagreements are bound to happened but managing the situation is key. There is no good relationship without "fights" (not hitting eachother). Always say your mind and whatever is hurting you. DO NOT BOTTLE IT UP and do not ignore each other by keeping malice for too long. Let the other party know what he/she is doing wrong.....do this in a civil way... Its fine if you raise your voice, its human nature but be disciplined enough not to let your anger cause any harm to your partner. NEVER BEAT OR PHYSICALLY FIGHT YOUR PARTNER. Try to always resolve your disagreement within 24 hours that it happens.....it is so healthy to do so.
   Go places together....(movies, parks, travels, picnics, road trips etc) all these build memories and this brings about happiness. When you do this, pls stay within your budget....lol. So nobody starts to get edgy or moody once the vacation is over and the bills starts to come in.
   In terms of finances, every party should have one or more legitimate source of income. No one is a burden when each party is financially okay. Yea, the man gets the higher responsibility when it comes to finances but nothing stops the lady from saying -"this christmas trip is on me or the movie ticket on me" (Ladies, shouldnt do it all the time though so the man does not forget his responsibilities). Regardless of the man having the larger responsibilities, ladies do not just spend all your money on accesorizing yourself alone (plainly selfish). Makesure you have some sort of contribution to the relationship/home.
    Enjoy each other's company but learn to make friends and hang out with other people. This does help your relationship alot. But always know when to draw the lines with friends, makesure your partner is on top of the list and your friends can follow. Your partner must know all your friends.
    Lastly, be truthful and honest in your dealings with your partner. Trust is very hard to build so stay away from lies. Be open and transparent. Even when its hard to say the truth, telling a lie has worse repercussions. Stick to the truth.

Enjoy your relationships people.
