Love Relationships: Always Thinking About the Other Person
Love relationships are at their most successful when each of the two people in the relationship is being considerate towards the other and thinking of the other's needs and wants. When you consider that we each begin life as a self-absorbed baby only interested in itself and its immediate needs, you will see that being considerate towards other people is something that only comes with experience and time. It needs practice. It is not something that you can achieve and then forget about. People in successful love relationships know this, and keep working at it throughout the length of the relationship.
So how can you develop this approach to life, build this intention to see things in the way the others see them? It isn't particularly easy and it needs work. You have to think about what the other person likes and likes doing, what are the other person's needs and what the other person makes use of in everyday life. Then you can begin to look to see if they have what they need and what they want. This is a starting point. Try to think about the other person not only on a daily-basis approach but taking a long-term approach too. What are the other person's goals and objectives? How can you help that person to fulfil these things? If you love the other person then you should be willing to make every effort possible.
At root we are all basically selfish, and it takes time to develop from this innate approach to life towards a fully fledged love relationship. Typically, newly married couples or partners living together have to learn all about this give and take, this compromising approach and new mindset required. This is generally done during the early months of the relationship, and if successful will put the relationship in very good stead for the future.
However, being considerate towards your love does not mean completely losing sight of your own needs and wants. Rather it is about achieving a balance, a compromise between two poles. If your needs are continually at odds with the other's then the relationship will probably not work. Successful love relationships are all about compromise, when all is said and done.
So, go out there and try to develop this approach to love relationships and life. You will find the benefits are tremendous, for both the other person involved and for yourself.
