We enter into every new relationship hoping and expecting things to be better than last time. At the beginning it usually is, which makes us think that the previous partner just wasn't the right one for us. Guess what? It won't last! Nothing stays the same.
If you get over being frustrated or angry at the truth in this statement, you can start to truly see things for what they are. That is when true relating, with your true self and with the real person behind your fantastic, fabulous new boyfriend or girlfriend, starts.
Nothing stays the same
Everything is either in the process of growth or decay, nothing ever stays the same. Just look at nature: from the changes of day to night, the flowers blooming and wilting or the caterpillar developing into a butterfly. In wanting something to remain the way it was, we resist the natural flow of life. The same applies to relationship.

The first flushes of romance in a new relationship are thrilling. You are still getting to know the other person. You aren't sure of each other yet, and are still sharing information about yourselves. Great as this bonding period is, it is temporary of course. After the excitement of new love is over, transitioning into a strong and healthy ongoing relationship can be challenging but is not impossible.
Any couple that has been together for a long time knows this. The early stages are only the first act; the rest of the play takes place after things have settled down. If you find yourself wondering how to make this transition, take heart. You can stay in love after the falling in love stage of the relationship ends. Try some of these suggestions.
Spend some time apart: New couples tend to monopolize each others' time. They want to go everywhere and do everything together. Of course, in the long term that's just not practical.

Very few in this world prefer to age in solitary. Unless you're a castaway in an unchartered island, and not many would choose to be. And that would be far-fetched considering that no islet nor isle has not been mapped in this day and age. And to move up in the society, one has to have some form of human interaction, a relationship of some sort. Relationship does not necessarily connote a romantic attachment. It can be a professional affiliation, for example the employee-employer relationship that you and your boos or your employee (if you are the boss) has. Or perhaps it may pertain to the bond between you and your sibling(s). And these associations with different people are part and parcel of your daily existence, so whether you are the solitary type or the outgoing kind, having a relationship is something inevitable. And considering it is, maintaining a healthy one is imperative because it plays an important role in our over-all well-being. Whatever relationship we foster will expectably reflect in our behavior. A single discordant relationship may affect the other relationships you are trying to nurture because of the stress it may bring. For example, a spat with your wife before you went to work may trigger you to become grumpy and unapproachable, thereby putting your relationship with your colleagues and your superiors at risk. |
