A new blog post for PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CAF\u00c9<\/p>\n

by Diana Lang<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I marry a couple, I say a lot of things designed specifically for the unique couple that I am marrying, but the one thing I always<\/em> say in every celebration is this:<\/p>\n

\u201cA happy marriage is a long falling in love. It is a continuing courtship. It is a process of falling in love again and again.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

They may not know it, but in these few simple statements, I am giving the secret to a long and happy relationship.<\/p>\n

Whether we are newly dating, or in the first stages of a burgeoning relationship, or in a long and committed one, these sentences are the alchemical formula for a real and lasting love.<\/p>\n

The newly dating couple has the advantage, of course.\u00a0 Because they are<\/em> new.\u00a0 Everyone is trying their best, and being their best, and wanting the best for each other.<\/p>\n

And that’s the key.\u00a0We forget about ourselves. For true love is selfless. We are truly for<\/em> each other. We do not see each others faults so sharply; we do not have a long list of grievances because we are looking at each other with new eyes.\u00a0And as we do, we fall more deeply in love.<\/p>\n

But how do you re-fall<\/em> in love when maybe the luster has dulled?\u00a0What happens to our relationship when we start to take each other for granted? Or forget why we fell in love in the first place?<\/p>\n

So, here are the 3 important rules to a happy relationship.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Appreciate, appreciate, appreciate.<\/strong> Act like you just met. See your partner with new eyes. Let them surprise you! And then they will!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Communicate, communicate, communicate.<\/strong> If you are confused or unsure, talk about it. Say, \u201cI am confused. I don’t understand.\u201d Then see what your partner says. Tell the truth. Don\u2019t be strategic. Be innocent. True love is innocent. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019ve been hurt in the past. Don\u2019t bring the past into your current relationship. Resist the temptation to hold resentments of past events. Which leads me to rule three …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Forgive, forgive, forgive.<\/strong> Love holds no grievances. Learn to make up quickly. Try to go to sleep without hurt feelings. If there are negative feelings from the past, talk about them until you see your way through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        With these three rules you can build a lasting and deeply loving relationship. For love really is always the answer.<\/p>\n
