how to make relationships work

some points to make the relationship work and to last longer:

• Don't try too hard to convince the other person of your love. Love and trust yourself more. This will relax your love defenses and enable you to give yourself totally to the relationship.
• Don't question the other person's love all the time.
• Don't use your relationships to fulfill your expectations.
• know yourself. Analyze the cause of your reactions.
• Acknowledge the other person as an individual. Grow and let grow.
• In a conflicting relationship, check where you went wrong rather than where the other person failed.
• listen to each other. Communication strengthens the foundation of a relationship.
• take the first step in working out a relationship without worrying about who is in the right. Don't depend on any person and don't let the other person depend on you.
