Soul Relationship...you know it's love when.......


Some people will have different thoughts on love and falling in love but I’m quite sure that one can find a lot of glaring commonalities such as these tell-tale signs. I researched, read some magazines and summarized it.

1. You think about how it  must be like to spend the rest of your life with your partner and no, you don’t look at it as simply being stuck with just one person, but rather, as a wonderful idea that you can’t wait to explore together.

2.  Even when surrounded by attractive people, your thoughts are always with your partner and how much premium you put on his happiness which you will not knowingly or deliberately crush by being thoughtless and unfaithful. That shows both commitment and devotion.

3. Passion and fireworks remain even after the “honeymoon” stage has passed. They say that at this day and age, sustaining a relationship has become such as arduous task that only a few manage to keep it together.  If, after the initial jolt of excitement has waned yet you still find reasons  to want to be with your partner everyday, then you are definitely on the something real……and lasting.

4. You make a lot of room in your life for your partner and that includes both his strong and weak points, as well as his peculiarities. There is also the desire to understand and compromise, both every clear indications of selfishness which will prove to be very valuable in the long run especially when challenges start to crop up.   
         

          It is really inspiring to write an article about love, relationships, dating and meeting soul mates. I read lots of action, suspense, love and romance pocketbooks and novels.  Falling in love is such a wonderful feeling. But once someone broke your heart it triples the pain. As the old clichĂ© goes, you don’t know the feeling to be loved if you never try to love someone.

      I wrote this article not only for myself but also to all viewers and readers of this blog.

The last time I read a pocketbook, these are the sentences that caught my curiosity: ”Sex should never be the reason to be with someone.  Love should always be the reason why you are with someone. Great sex should always be just a bonus.”

Moreover, “It’s not you, it’s me”, actually, it is “You and Me”.  A relationship is about two people. So whether it’s a smooth-sailing or a nerve-wracking one, a relationship’s progress and decline depends on both partners. While others claim that going from “You and I” to a constant “We” is healthy and understandable, couples still need to give each other time to grow.
Here are few tips on how to smoothen the edges and enjoy a healthy and lasting relationship with your partner.

1. Voice out your needs
2. Complement each other
3. Be passionate
4. Forgive and move on
5. Grow together by spending times apart

Heart-to-heart talk


You will dance with the man who probably can’t give you a garden full of flowers, but can certainly give you all his heart. You will dance with a man who insanely loves you and will marry you soon.

February 14, is a special day to all sweet lovers, romantically in love, honeymooners and engaged. On the other hand, to all bachelors and single ladies, it is also a time for planning a friendly date and celebrates Valentine’s Day in our own special way.

Somehow, engaged lady and wife giggles and feel  like floating in a cloud nine, when her fiancĂ© or husband gives special attention and surprises on this day.

A woman romantically dreaming of her ideal man in the future, wishing that someday there is someone out of the blue who will give chocolates and bouquet of fresh flowers.

In my two years relationship with my first boyfriend, I envied ladies when their boyfriend gives special treatment on this “Love Month”. 
It is not good to compare with others. I just felt sorry for myself. I thought having my first boyfriend, I can be proud of.

Despite his shortcomings, I still love him that time. I may be late bloomer and started a relationship when I was 24. During those times I am happy at last there is someone who loves me and can protect me. But I was wrong.  

It was a long story how I endured my hurt feelings with him as my boyfriend before the parting words.  I want to put all my pain from yesterday behind. I thought working abroad and be away from him will give some wake-up call and turn him into a new leaf. Unfortunately, it became worst.
A mutual friend informed me about his foolishness. At first, I cleared things about what I heard. I asked him but denied everything. In the end, due to call of conscience, he admitted and said sorry. At that time, I easily forgive him because I don’t love him anymore. But my pride was bruised and I was really hurt for trusting a “JERK”. We departed ways in 2008.

I broke-up with my first boyfriend but I gained more friends (women and guys). I didn’t have any suitors after separation, because I concentrated at work. I entertained text mates and chat mates when I came back home in Philippines in 2011. But still no luck finding the “right man”.

Now, Valentine’s Day again, I wholeheartedly dedicate my short article to all singles and married couples. I greet you Happy Valentine’s Day.  Couples must  love, respect, and treat well your partners. To all singles like me, we can still celebrate “Love Month” with our friends or family.
To my ideal man if you really exists here on earth this is for you, “My darling believe me, for me there is no one but you. Please love me too. And I am in love with you. Answer my prayer now, come to my dream and be real.”
