Simple Relationship Guide

• There is no such thing as a model relationship. Every relationship is unique. What works for you may not work for another.

• Some men are lazy around the house. Some men are hardworking and helpful; they hate to stress their wives. Most women will pray for the latter but forget that helpful or not, most men have their own ways of showing love and care. Respect counts.

• Marriage is for better, for worse; i.e. it is a lifetime contract. So if your wife becomes fat (from having your children) or she turns out to be dirty or lazy or displays any other habit you detest, it's no reason to hit her, cheat on her or kill her!

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.

• Your new woman or man may be worse. (This happens very often). So you'll keep on divorcing & remarrying? Marriage is about making the most of who/what you have. Remember: The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know.

• Looking for whom to settle down with? Choose someone who makes you smile & laugh; someone who makes you happy without even trying. But first, remember there is only one person you spend your whole life with, and that is yourself. If you aren't ok with you, there is an issue.

• Make time to discover yourselves. Don't marry because of a pregnancy; marry because you know that you can tolerate your lover.

• Love is important but not enough. Always remember P.E.T: they will help you through the tough times and you'll enjoy the good too!

• When children arrive,make them a common hobby. You both must enjoy spending time with them. They are very important in your life.

• If the children don't come,spoil each other silly. When you are both happy,other things fall in place. You may adopt or help others.

• When you both truly care about and respect each other, your marriage will work. Be considerate of your partner's feelings always.

• Don't keep "all" your relationship issues and problems to yourselves. "Some" issues require a third party. Contrary to public opinion, share with someone you respect. 'All' and 'some' are the key words here.
***Note that"a third party" could be your own offspring. Some children are way wiser than their parents. You'd be amazed at the advice.

• Never,Ever,Ever,Ever quit your marriage (unless for attempted murder which may still be fixed depending on the situation though).
If you ever once truly loved each other (not fondness, deep care or great respect); you can rekindle the romance. Don't give up!

• Sometimes, it's best to wait out a cheating partner. Someday, he/she will be back. Not all lost sheep get eaten up. Some lost sheep sometimes find their way back home ...but they come back dirty, smelly and with the sense of the wild. Its then your choice if you still want him/her or not.

• Good friends are necessary to keep your sanity. Marriage can be frustrating sometimes, so go have some fun without your partner.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE ISN'T MARRIAGE BUT PURPOSE.
