10 Practical ways to build best relationship

[roberthoffman]

1. Avoid the next quarrel: When one is in the mood to quarrel, the
other person must be patient. There is nothing wrong in apologising
if you realise that you have made a mistake.


2. Do not expect everyone to be perfect: No man or woman is perfect.
Accept the other as he or she is as best relationship involves the
coming together of two imperfect beings.


3. Be a good listener: Don't interrupt others when a point of view is
being presented. Good listeners are hard to find today. Words
spoken in rage can end friendships. And better than just listening,
is to listen with the heart.


4. Grow in the spirit of forgiveness: Relationship means two things,
giving and forgiving. Keep forgiving without counting the number of
times you forgive. When you forgive, learn to forget as your
forgiveness should be absolute and complete.


5. Grow in the spirit of humility: We have number of wars and quarrels
today because everyone wants to prove that he is better than the
other. Our conversations should not revolve around 'Is' but should
be filled with the word 'We'.


6. Grow in the spirit of appreciation: This will draw you closer to
each other. Willam James, a philosopher from the USA once said that
every human craves to be appreciated. Learn to appreciate each other.
Through appreciation, you can draw out the best in them. Remember to
say these words to others whenever possible, "Where would I be
without you" and see the difference these words make in your lives.


7. Discuss but do not argue: An argument always leads to one party
giving up. The other side feels happy that he has won. But, this is
not true. He has not won really, but it is quite possible that he
may have lost a dear friend. Everyone is free to form one's own
opinion. But nothing will be achieved through arguments; we should
find a way around our disagreements. Also, we must never preach what
you cannot practice.


8. Learn to laugh: Laugher is a physical, mental as well as an emotional
tonic and should be indulged in as often as possible.


9. Adopt a helpful attitude: Never hesitate to help one another.


10. Bring God back into your homes: Today we have thrown God outside our
houses and the vacuum is filled in by the devil. Bring God back.
Keep His picture at a prominent place in your house and always pray
to him whenever you go out or come back home. Also, make it a
habit to have daily family prayer meetings. A family that prays
together stays together.

Totally right!

For me, a good relationship is based on : honesty, comprehension, fidelity...
If any of the above missed, it won't be a relation that will go far!

Yes! Very true!

As for the thread's suggestions, I think many many more factors go into the equation, and play a vital role in making a relationship succeed! Those of us who have tried all these and still failed know what I am talking about!

Even when you have all of that, how dyou cure the biggest relationship killer of all... Boredom?

You find differences between the two of you and capitalize on them

Fights can be very entertaining! If they do not end your relationship, they make it worthwhile! LOL! I am just kidding ofcourse... this is indeed not true...

maybe God has nothing to do with it and maybe he is every thing in this issue depends on what we believe in .
God = Love, trust, devotion, honesty,...... >>> fruitfull lasting friendship
friendship= love, trust, devotion , honesty , .....>> ?

same equation .
