THE ESSENCE OF FRIENDSHIP IN A RELATIONSHIP

The success of a relationship is admittedly based on various factors. Many at times, people fail to recognize friendship as being one of them.

The fact that the two of you are lovers does not mean you should not treat each other as friends. Not only must you be friends before dating or entering a relationship but you have to continue on with building the friendship whiles in the relationship.

Analyse your relationship by talking out all sexual activities, what is left? Do you have a partner who constantly advises you, teases you, laughs at & with you, plays with you, supports you, comforts you, listens to you, assists you and reprimands you just like a friend would? Or is it that your relationship does not encourage all these because one or both would be offended due to the fact that you do not get along in that way?

A relationship must go beyond all the lovey-dovey stuff. There should be in existence a friendship which allows the love to grow and sustain it. It makes the two of us able to tolerate each other when things are not at their best. It also creates a relationship that is less monotonous and boring.

On the regular, people get to know each other to an extent before becoming lovers but we should not forget that individuals change and that you won’t know everything & anything before at the early stage. Therefore, as I mentioned earlier, it is necessary to continue making efforts to know each other better when already in the relationship.

His favourite food may change from potato fries with grilled chicken to lasagna. Her favourite colour may change from red to black. An ordinary person will always want to avoid problems or mistakes in a relationship. It is up to you to find out the changes so saying “I did not know you no longer liked red that much” won’t suffice. Frequent omissions of this kind does not look good on a person as a partner.

If the person is secretive; does not tell you things, does not allow you to see or know much then you have a big issue at hand. Imagine a relationship in which things get awkward habitually or one in which you cannot be yourself as often as possible.

Enjoying a relationship in its entirety does not evolve around just sexuality. It must be an intimate relationship for it to run smooth majority of the time. Connecting on all levels; mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually/religiously is necessary as it leads to greater understanding of a partner by a partner (read my two blog posts on relationship elements for more details on this).
