Long Term Relationship Advice for Young People and Old
Ultimate Stress Blog Columnist Don Lubov shares timeless advice on creating lasting, long term relationships.
Above all…Be kinder…Kinder and gentler. When you’re in agreement, then be in sync. When you disagree, then disagree.
No anger. No nastiness. No attacking. Don’t expect to always be in sync…Don’t demand to be in sync. Be truthful (to your own self) and honest about where you are to your partner.
This is not a competition – so don’t make it one. Don’t make it a case of winners and losers. Allow difference of opinion to have its day in court.
Let love be your weapon of choice…unconditional love – no judgments, only tenderness and respect. Be a “them” with breathing room.
Believe in your ability to change for the better, and be patient. All things pass.
Never forget: You’re programmed for success. Believe in yourself and in goodness.
There is much in this world to fear and loath. But, there is so much more to love and be grateful for.
Accept your goodbyes as you do your hellos. Allow for and encourage growth…self and others.
Cherish and learn from your past and be inspired by your plans for the future, but live in the present. Be 100% involved in your life and 0% attached to results. Don’t fight change.
You’re only half of a relationship so there’s no need to thank or blame. Just be the best you can be at the time.
No anger. Just unconditional love, patience and kindness. This will make you part of the solution…not part of the problem.
