10 commandments for a great relationship
1. Drop the hollywood love theme and acquire realistic love life expectations
Meaning our relationship's always start "in a blissful state," however, when we become one that bliss fades and sometimes we tend to become exhausted. It is up to us to keep that spark alive because the fairytale is over!
2. Combine duties and chores
Split the chores evenly and it will "decrease stress on all accounts"
3. Banish your acting prowess and quit pretending nothing is wrong
Ladies, we are the queen's of doing this! Express your feeling's at all time's! If you don't communicate you will build up even more anger. Just throw it out there! Then have make-up sex *wink*
4. Do not strive for the title of gossip queen
Do not gush out all of your relationship problems to your gf's. It doesn't improve your relationship
5. Be yourself
Acting like your ok with your man playing nba 2k11 all day and not paying you no mind. This will "lead you on a pathway of misguided love." Dr. Teesha couldn't have said that any better!
6. Take control of one's own sexual satisfaction
A man is not a mind reader. Communicate on how you want it lol. If you don't and you become un-happy with your sex life, it's your own fault.
7. Do not take on another lover unless your partner does
Speaks for itself
8. Have a life outside of the "we"
In my opinion this is the 2nd most important commandment. Do not become too consumed with your partner and the relationship, you will forget about yourself.
9. Do not obsess about obtaining bodily perfection
No one is perfect. "Opening up your imperfect self to another is the first step to true intimacy and acceptance".
10. Do not try and "fix" one's partner, as they are not broken
You can only start making changes for life-long happiness. Work from the inside out and accept your other half for who they are. If you treat them as a project, you will blame them for your unhappiness.
