In layman’s terms, it’s about helping each other become better versions of themselves.
Avoid these two misconceptions:
- Always maintaining passion and romance, never getting bored.
- Never having anger or estrangement.
Will two people really never tire of each other? This is a test of human nature, as even the best of friends will have disagreements. It’s normal for one party to feel bored during the passionate phase of a relationship.
We shouldn’t romanticize love too much. Everyone has human weaknesses. Greed, desire, and temptation are inevitable, as they are part of our human nature.
From a young age, we haven’t been exposed to the subject of love. How to love is learned through our own experiences, and many people learn through literature, movies, and TV shows. But there’s a misconception here, we often idealize love too much.
In the process of getting along, you may be blinded by passion at first, but as the relationship deepens, you may realize that your partner isn’t as perfect as you imagined. Similarly, when two people live together, the relationship may become mundane over time.
You need to understand that in a relationship, it’s normal to have disagreements and arguments. If you don’t believe it, ask the older generation. Like your parents. They may have had their fair share of disagreements, but they’ve still managed to live together for over 50 years. At this point, what remains is companionship, and if there’s anything more, it’s probably for the sake of the children.
Conflicts in a relationship aren’t scary, but we need to learn how to handle them. Especially in a relatively equal relationship, men need to learn to tolerate women’s emotions and understand their thoughts.
Of course, women should also understand that when a man apologizes and gives you a way out, you should also give him some face and not continue to escalate the conflict.
Of course, the above is a relatively equal relationship, but there are also relationships where men dominate women, and women dominate men in society.
