Secrets to a Good Relationship

Is there really a Secret how to have a good relationship? In my opinion there is no set way. Everybody is Different. What works for one couple might not work for another. But there are ways to make a relationship work.

According to studies, The first 9 years of a relationship are the most critical. I do not claim to be an expert on this subject. This is my own personal opinions And experiences. When I first meet a person I like going to a quiet place and get to know them, and learn their likes and dislikes and Finding out if we are at all compatible. One thing I don't do is pretend I am someone I'm not. I figure if they don't like who I am then why bother?

Part of being yourself is being honest on your feelings and thoughts. For the most part I am very direct but I do think of the other persons feelings. Being totally honest is very important in a relationship. If I don't like what my partner is saying or doing how will he know if I do not tell him so he doesn't keep doing the same mistake over and over making me more angry.

I feel compliments get you everywhere. If I look exceptionally nice or have a new outfit on I want to know they notice. I think every woman loves that and it makes them feel special and loved. And in turn give complements to my partner also. If he is wearing a Cologne I like I let him know by saying something like oh your wearing a different Cologne I like it.

In a way I guess it comes down to: Treat people the way you like to be treated and everything will be fine. I am not saying there will be no differences of opinions but when that happens if you discuss them and come to A compromise you come out on the winning end on the most part.
