What advice would you give to young people about relationships?

And what would you say to young people of your own gender on that matter?What advice would you give to young people about relationships?
The following applies to all sexes and preferences:





Be honest. Be fair. Be considerate (literally- consider the other before you act).





When arguing (you will argue):





Choose your battles wisely.





never attack the person, attack the behavior.





Be willing to admit you are wrong (even when your not)





Be willing to change to accommodate your lover/partner.





Give each other space and alone time. If you are both allowed to explore the world you will find new things to bring to your relationship and continually be able to keep it fresh.





Never ever tolerate any form of abuse as a trade off for intimacy.What advice would you give to young people about relationships?
Honor your father and your mother so that their days upon the earth will be long and filled with happiness. Love thy neighbor as thyself. When you take a woman to be your life long mate and you vow to God in front of his Holy Alter that you will love and honor her for the rest of your life and that death will be the only condition that will separate you, you have made a pack with God that you will never break. Do not ever make a commitment to another person unless you are certain that you can and will honor it.
To many young people look at a long term relationship like a light friendship. If it doesn't work out, they can get a divorce and try again. This is one reason the divorce rate is so high. Another is the living together without marrying, they can leave with no ill feelings.


When I was young a relationship was forever and when you decided to get married, you married for life. You tried to make the best of it and tried to do the best you could, not run to a lawyer right away because one partner said something you didn't like.
Always remember that the person that you worship and adore when you fall in love is as human as you are.


They are going to make mistakes.


They are going to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.


They are not going to say anything when they should be speaking to you.





Before you get in their face ..... look in the mirror at your own.


Are you without ownership in the problem?





Always use compassion before confrontation.


The compliment will be returned and you will be more than grateful.
Follow your gut instincts. If you feel it's right it probably is. if you feel, hey, this isn't right, then it probably isn't.


Treat yourself and your mate with respect.


Be a good listener. Really hear what the other person is saying.


Realize that even the strongest person has fears and insecurities.


Be a good friend.
To slow down and be in no hurry to settle down and remember if you both don't give 100% to the relationship it will never work or be happy Ive been married 40 years and it took 20 years for my hubby to realize we were on the same team, we are very happy now but it would have easier if he realized it sooner.
';look before you leap'; (don't rush)


';if at first you don't succeed , try , try and try again';(don't give up to easy)


';what's good enough for the goose is good enough for the gander';(equality)


i do not believe ';you've made your bed, now lie in it'; i say ';re make it till it's right ';


..and my favourite:


';life is a bed of roses, but watch out for the pricks'; :)
Keep the lines of communication open


Don't keep secerts from each other


Don't lie to each other no matter how angry you think the other will be


Be mindful of each others feelings at all time's


Be good to each other.


Tell your partner at least once a day how much you love them
The well-maintained relationship percolates in to the heart. We can experience divinity when we keep the relationship with friends, brothers, sisters, parents etc. Love is noble. Give love, take love. Maintain good relationship with cultured people
If the guy who leaves his dirty socks and underwear under your bed is a true friend who makes you laugh, just throw his socks and shorts in the hamper. It only takes a minute.
Like the song says...';You Better Shop Around';!!!
Have a lot of them and with as large a variety of people as possible! Variety is the spice of life!
I would tell them to try everything before bailing.
Only date people you think you could see yourself married to. Cupid could enter the picture at any time.
Don't rush into anything. And you must like the smell of the person as well as their personality.





If they don't have a twinkle in their eye and you don't have one for them then RUN AWAY%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

forget your relations and head for the ships
