Sure Fire Ways of Successful Relationship

1. Communication

When we think of communicating we often think of talking. In order to effectively communicate we must not just talk but LISTEN. Take the time to actively listen to what is being said to you. When someone is talking to you focus on what is being said to you…Think about it, repeat it for clarity, and then respond. Communicating is more than debating, giving orders, making accusations, or ranting. Communication is a way to open up dialogue to discuss our feelings, desires, frustrations, and thoughts. Failure to communicate leads to dissension, resentment, misunderstandings, and a build up of negativity. Good open honest communication is key to relationships.
“Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.”

2. The Golden Rule

Treat people the way you want to be treated. Be kind, considerate, respectful, patient, honest, and have empathy.

3. Be Supportive

Offer help, assistance, sympathy, and encouragement. To support by definition is: to hold in position so as to keep from falling, sinking, or slipping. To keep from weakening or failing; to strengthen. Relationships require mutual support. It’s like a checks a balance system to keep us from falling or failing. Support in relationships is team work at its best. T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More.

4. Forgive

Let bygones be bygones. Nobody is perfect we all make mistakes. Communicate openly and honestly. If you have an issue discuss it as soon as possible. RESOLVE IT and move on. Holding a grudge hurts you more than it does the person you’re angry with. Relationships with past hurts and mistakes lingering rot from the inside out. Forgive and move on.

5. Take Ownership

If you are wrong admit it. Apologize. Fess up! Take responsibility for your actions or lack thereof.

6. Be Appreciative

A simple thank you goes a long way. Always show and express gratitude for even the smallest gestures.

7. Resist the Urge to Judge

Accept people for who they are without passing judgment.

“Only God can judge me.” —Tupac

“We are not placed on this earth to see through each other, but to see each other through.” — William Kinnaird

BP, I know! She had so many bottled up emotions, and I struggled so much and my professor wouldn't help me, he wanted me to figure out on my own. God I spent so many night cursing her, but when I finally got it...I was like AHA it makes so much sense, she's amazing!

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

BB............and this I choose for you

There is a smile and glow upon your face,

A look of bliss that I can almost taste.

You dance with wildness on your lips,

With succulence you sway your hips.

Your breasts move gently under your dress,

Dancing mounds with my lips I wouldst caress.

You are feminine in all your glory,

Filled with mystery and magic, a women's story.

Now you sound like what's his name, angel in the sky,

It's very true though, just typing is very frustrating, 80% of coversation is body language and intonation

Corn...........just for you

Love's not easy on the Internet.

Words alone can be misunderstood.

Love needs eyes and lips and hands to let

The hurt rest easy when the joy feels good.

Lovers can't reach through the opaque screen

To underscore a message with their arms,

To say with touch exactly what they mean

Or give the light caress that anger calms.

Instead, they must rely on faith and trust,

Loving patiently a fleshless soul,

Taking words for kisses 'cause they must,

With full communion their elusive goal.

Be patient, love, and someday soon you'll see

My body tell you what you mean to me.

good morning BP, I'm still in bed...attempting to get up, though I don't see it happening anytime soon...grrrr...

So how did u get to sex ? ur men! no matter what's talked about, ultimately u get to sex lol.

I agree, try not to jump to conclusions. But did u know that the first 15 seconds of an interview are the most important ? So I guess first impressions do really count.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Anyways, back to the post...there's no such thing as "don't judge people", everyone judges!It's just human nature.
