I believe to keep married romance alive, couples should choose something that made them happy while they were dating and make it their “personal tradition.” There is a romantic phrase my spouse said to me while we were dating that warmed my heart so much that I said I’d love to hear it every day. We have been married almost 9 years now and there is not a day that goes by that he does not say those words to me. They seem to heal and melt each day’s burdens away and bring us closer to each other each time we share in those words.

For all relationships: Talk, listen, laugh! Remember “No one is ever completely satisfied with anything!” or anyone! Even oneself. Enjoy what you do have.

A Successful Relationship……The “Contest”
A successful relationship can be described as a business relationship, whereas both parties accept responsibility for various areas and commit to being honest and accountable to those tasks. It could be anywhere from completing the taxes to washing the frigging toilet bowl!!!! A successful relationship might be found when two parties, husband-wife, work partners, wife-wife, husband-husband, (I’m sure you get my drift), are determined to reach something, a goal, and the other party is willing, not only to help, the other, get there, also to not let go of their own goal. It takes passion and love so great, that other than our own Supreme Being, the only other person who can have it is a mother for their child….UNconditional…with a capital “UN”!!! It takes love of time together, sharing of stories, good and bad, getting over the crap, loving to see each other, in ALL forms, knowing when to say “I love you” because you knew he/she needed to hear it just at that time!!! Or, maybe “thank you”, “I apologiz”, “do you need any help”, etc, etc, etc. And,last,however probably not least,it’s knowing when to shut up~~~~ So, goodbye

A successful relationship is one that all parties are happy they have and are willing to stay within the boundries they have established.
In order to have a truly successful relationship the parties need to establish and agree on the boundries and values they want the relationship to follow.

For a relationship to be succesful, personal or business, it must be based on genuine interest in each other by both parties. This is acheived by asking questions, finding a mututal interests, and caring about the other party. Maintaining the relationship does take work and periodic contact, but should come natural. When you haven’t heard or seen the other party for awhile, you should realize that and reach out to them. The realtionship cannot be one sided.

Listen, Really Listen.
People feel very special if they perceive you care about what they have to say. Showing appreciation, say thank you, shake your clients� hand, and be available. This is true of business and personal relationships.

A successful relationship is a relationship whereby the individuals have thought about and agreed upon a set of values that they’re committed to doing their best to follow, AND they’re committed to supporting one other in following those values. In other words, the relationship is about determining the kind of person you want to be (i.e. the values you want to live by), and then helping and supporting one another in becoming that person. Then the relationship is centered around helping each other become the best person they can become.

Successful Relationship:

Successful relationships can only exist when both people don’t contribute fifty fifty, but when their commitment exceeds those limitations and would carry their partner the whole hundred if their partner becomes weak or hindered. A relationship where giving to the other partner is more important then recieving for oneself. This is a successful relationship. A relationship solidly mounted on serving each other.

Business Relationship- A good business ralationship is when two parties completely trust each other that referals to them will be handled in the utmost professional and personal way. When we have good business relationships we are happy with the goods and services that person or company provides to us or our clients. We trust their knowledge and/or products will satisfy us and make us feel comfortable when we walk away.

Love is 1 Corinthians. Husbands love your wife, wifes respect your husbands (Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs). The key is to find each others love language (Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman), so that you will fulfill each other and not feel empty and alone in your marriage, with your children or parents. A successful relationship is one that you look forward to being with each other, even after many years of being together.
