Relationships are a vital part of human life. From the kids in pre-school class, to the teenager who meets with his first love, to the junior executive who needs to get ahead in his career, to the business owner who needs to give his workers a sense belonging; it is obvious that we all need relationships. It is also a well known fact that, the quality of the relationships you keep will have a significant impact on the quality of your life and your sense of fulfillment. It is therefore important for you to know how to maintain your quality relationships, and this article reveals a very important way to add value to your relationships.

The foundation of every successful relationship is effective communication. To build a sound relationship, you need to learn how to express your exact feelings to the other person; but more importantly, you need to be a very good listener. Everyone has something to tell, it could be what gives us joy, sadness, or about things that cause us to worry and fret, no matter what the story is, we all treasure people who take out time to listen to us. Becoming a patient listener is therefore a sure way to build long lasting relationships. But there is a huge pitfall to avoid once you choose to become a listening partner - forgetfulness.

You'd admit that nothing hurts your friends quite as much as when you forget important details about them, or special 'secrets' they've shared with you. Imagine the strain you put on your relationships each time you forget a friend's birthday, a prearranged visit, or what you guys discussed just last night. It's never a pretty situation to be in.

This puts us in some-what of a fix; listening adds much more value to your relationships, but forgetfulness could take each relationship right back to ground zero.

The Conclusion: It would be worth your while to really concentrate when discussing important issues with a partner and you could even go a step further by learning some basic memory improvement techniques. If sustaining that relationship is truly important to you, then it would take only a little bit of discipline and sacrifice to work it!
