Understanding Relationships ...


Most of my articles down here end up running for pages together. So this time I thot I ll write something short and leave it to the readers to decide if its sweet J . I don’t know how this thot came up my mind .. ‘Understanding relationships’.. as if im experienced in judging relationships, I start advising people on how to go abt a relationship and make sure it’s a healthy one .. Anyways, just few thoughts that came up in my mind .. here u go ..

Most of us are probably allured by the attractive notion that effortless relationships exist. Whether it be happily-ever-after marriages, or friendships which last forever, or parent/child bonds which supersede the need to understand each other, we'd all like to believe that our most intimate relationships are unconditional, and strong enough to withstand whatever may come. However, at some point in our lives most of us need to face the fact that relationships require effort to keep them strong and positive, and that even wonderful, strong relationships can be destroyed by neglect. The feeling of responsibility to keep the relationship alive starts with deliberate efforts and one fine day you see you are passionate about the whole thing without you taking any conscious steps to make u feel that way. Relationship cannot be built overnight. It takes years to build a strong relationship and the harder part of it is to keep it healthy. Each relationship is dynamic and unique in its own way. The real secret of healthy relationships is developing a feeling of oneness. And its not built through winning meaningless arguments. And these meaningless arguments cause a lot of damage to the relationship. Every relationship experiences ups and down during the course of time. Living through those ups and downs and to be able to understand that it’s the part and parcel of life carries the relationship forward with more optimism. While on the other hand, if it causes a broken heart it goes to the extent of re-evaluating the choices from beginning to end and reliving all the past experiences and trying to find clues that’s apparent to confirm that the relationship is coming to an end. An effort at this point of time to revive the relationship could help a lot. But then in most cases it doesn’t happen. Well, can effortless relationship ever exist ?
