What Makes A Successful Relationship This is a quote from an article I read recently about the reasons for success of failure of marriages. It divides the participants into 2 groups, masters are those who have successful marriages, disasters and disasters as those who are unsuccessful. It’s good advice for maintaining any sort of successful relationships. There’s a habit of mind that the masters have,” Gottman explained in an interview, “which is this: they are scanning their social environment for things they can appreciate and say thank you for. They are building this culture of respect and appreciation very purposefully. Disasters are scanning the social environment for partners’ mistakes.” Spiritwoman ^i^ |

Just too many words I think, COMMUNICATION is the key if a couple cannot communicate they will never make it. Now, remember in the twilight time of our lives the only enjoyment we will have is communication. . The beginning of life, conception..

This is so very true, it really sums up the situation that exists in some relationships. Alfie...

Communication is me telling a woman what she wants to hear.

 And communication is basic. Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

interesting how the simplest things are the most easily neglected. It's good to take some time to think about what we would miss if the other people in our life were suddenly absent them take the opportunities that present to thank them. Spiritwoman ^i^

Hi Spiritwoman.....A wonderful blog full of great guides for those who want to have good relationships. I would only add that communication is another "must have" in any relationship. Spiritwoman ^i^

My brain says you are right. . . but I've seen so many people who are so hateful to each other-- or one of the partners is wonderful and the other is ungrateful and they last forever? What I do know is the key is happiness is to have a good relationship with myself. Appreciate everything. See the good in all things around you. Be patient. Some people see it as a weakness. I really don't care what they think. Hugs to you beautiful, strong lady  Spiritwoman ^i^

Good point. I was married to one of those who loved to communicate their unhappiness. Looking back I don't think he ever said thank you. If he did I was too overwhelmed with his negativity to notice. Spiritwoman ^i^

Unless you can read minds, what you are telling her is what you think she wants to hear.....If she is also telling you what she thinks you want to hear, there is no communication going on......just talking. Spiritwoman ^i^

I disagree, Rentier.... I think you've either met the wrong women or perhaps some other problem??? I think my problem with communication is honesty.

Unless you can read minds, what you are telling her is what you think she wants to hear.....If she is also telling you what she thinks you want to hear, there is no communication going on......just talking. Those feelings usually center on what I am doing wrong.
