5 Keys To A Successful Relationship

1. Honesty — you and your partner communicate openly and honestly about exactly what you want out of the relationship and express yourselves when you feel it’s not going the way you would like. You are open to having conversations that will improve the relationship rather than ignoring problems & hoping things will “get better” on their own.

2. Authenticity — you prioritise yourself as the most important person in the relationship. You acknowledge that you do not need to set yourself on fire to keep your partner warm. This is a reciprocal relationship and you are both involved because you want to be — not because you have to be.

3. Play — you know that we’re having a human experience to have fun, hence your relationship revolves around play. Everything you and your partner involve yourselves in is with the intention of having fun — rather than trying to show others that you’re a “perfect couple”.

4. Responsibility — you each accept equal responsibility when there is conflict within the relationship and are willing to work on yourselves independently to improve it. You also acknowledge that you are responsible for the way you feel and do not blame each other when you feel negative emotions.

5. Temporary — as with everything in life relationships are temporary, nothing will last forever. With this in mind you and your partner agree to enjoy this interaction while it lasts and treasure every second you are together — for you never know when it will end.

Treat your partner the way you would like them to treat you — if they don’t reciprocate then you know you are worthy of someone else who will. Relationships are a great way to learn more about ourselves and what we want out of this life — remember that your partner is a mirror of yourself.

You can only meet others as deeply as you have met yourself.
