A lot of people jump into a relationship because they felt the spark, they felt the butterflies, they felt the longing but without much thought about whether that is the relationship they really wanted or whether the relationship could last. It is time for us to stop this bad habit of getting in and out of relationships. Be mindful of your choices and save your heart from another heartache by answering these questions.
- What are you looking for in a couple?
It is very easy to fall in love with people who are beautiful, nice and sweet, smart and funny, rich, intelligent or mysterious. However, if the qualities you are looking for in a partner are found only in outward appearance, it will be found only when the going gets tough. Look for the inner qualities that will support you and your relationship even when you lose your sanity.
- What are your reasons for looking for a partner?
Are you simply looking for someone to be with in your lonely hours or are you looking for a life partner? Your reasons will determine the role your partner will play in your relationship. If you only want your partner to be with you at certain times of the day while he / she wants to be with you at all times, conflicts will arise and it won’t be long until the relationship is over.
- What is your level of maturity when it comes to managing relationships?
Maturity matters a lot when you want a long-term or life-long relationship. There will always be obstacles and crossroads that will challenge your commitment. If you are mature enough to handle a relationship, you can make good decisions and difficult decisions. You won’t be easily annoyed with the little things like jealousy or time management. A mature person knows when to keep fighting and when to let go.
- Can you tell a good relationship from a bad one?
A good relationship is something that helps you become a better person. It is something that brings a positive change to your life and allows you to do great things. On the contrary, a bad relationship is something that drains all your positive energy. It’s something that constantly hurts you, either emotionally or physically, and makes you question your worth as a person. No one should have a bad relationship. If you feel like you’re in one, go right away and let go.
- Are you ready for marriage?
Some people enter into a relationship without thinking of getting married. It may not be a big deal to some, but it matters when your partner finally wants to get married and you aren’t ready yet. Know that marriage is always the destination of romantic relationships, if not breakups. Don’t waste your partner’s time if you are not open to the idea of marriage. Let this principle of yours be known before you enter a relationship, or do not enter a relationship at all.
We don’t want any more breakups after long, sweet company. Before starting another adventure, let’s make sure we know what we are doing and that we already have a clear path of where we are going.
