The way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected, or the way in which two or more people or groups regard and behave towards each other, that is the basic definition of RELATIONSHIP. Love is one of the most profound emotions known to humans. There are different kinds of love, but most people search for its expression in a romantic relationship with a compatible partner. For many people, romantic relationships are the most meaningful element of life, providing a source of the deepest fulfillment. The ability to have a healthy relationship isn't inborn. A great deal of evidence states that the ability to form a stable relationship begins in infancy, in a child's initial experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, protection and social contact. Those relationships are not destiny, but they appear to establish patterns of relating to others. Failed relationships occur for many reasons, and the failure of a relationship is oftimes a source of great psychological anguish. Most of us have to work consciously to master the skills requisite to make them flourish.
Love Relationships:
No matter your relationship status, single, dating, engaged, or married, relationships take work. And whether they end with tears or last forever it may depend on countless factors, but your own actions, words, and thoughts undoubtedly play a crucial role. I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But when I met Him I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together. The meeting of two persons is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. In every time, in every place, the encounter between two beings is an exciting and dramatic gamble. Depending on who one meets, luck can either smile on one, or cruelly turn its back. Which way will the scales tip? No one can know since no knowledge or established theory exists that can explain the spiritual connection between two people...Whether purposefully or accidentally, this encounter begins something: friendship, treachery, love, hatred, suffering, sadness...
Desiring it or not, nobody can remain immaculate. Perhaps this is the reason why people, aspiring to swath themselves with maturity and experience, repeat such encounters and separations on the waves of time.
Family Relationships:
Be it ever so humble there's nothing like family. Family is where the heart is. When everything goes to hell, the people who will stand by you without flinching, are your family. There is no such thing as a "bad family. Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. Family is a circle of love and strength , with every birth and every union the circle grows. In every contravention between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm. Family isn’t always blood. It is sometimes the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones how accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.
Friendly Relationships:
One of the greatest gifts of life is friendship. The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation. Friendship isn't about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when. Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. It is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life. When we honestly ask ourselves who is person in our lives that means the most to us, we often find they are those who, instead of giving advice or solutions, have chosen rather to share our pain and cure our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair, who can stay with us in an hour of grief, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
The deep and wonderful feeling of intimacy prospers an atmosphere of safety. People open up when they feel safe. They take risks when they feel safe. Creating a safe environment for intimacy to flourish means that each person needs to take responsibility in creating safety within themselves, because each relationship begins with YOU.
Nice work you have done on the article and on yourself, it's good to remind ourselves from time to time to take responsibility of our own happiness.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your support
So often when I read something I enjoy, like your writing here, there's one part that stands out.
At least for me it was, "The meeting of two persons is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
I can't think of any better combination of words to describe that condition between two people. :)
Thanks a lot for stopping by to read it.
very interesting articles can make us aware of the importance of friendship and how we deal with a relationship. By the way, I have also written some articles about love, also relationships with friends, will you see it on my blog @mariaentela :)
Thank you. Of course I will read your article
Really well writing, your content writing is Awesome. truly good work. have a nice day
Thanks for your support
Relationships are so important in life and among all the different relationships we nurture and build in our life, we must make sure to have a healthy one with our own self because when we are truly in love and at peace with ourselves, we can spread the love to others too. Good article btw :)
I totally agree with you @sharoonyasir 😀Thanks for your comment
Thanks for sharing!
Welcome friend
Relationships take a lot of work, you must be able to act like jell-o in order to remain happy in a relationship. Jiggle around and adjust to the changes and the up and down moments as they come. It's never a simple easy road

True, relationship has a true essence of spiritual bonds and relationship is important for fulfillment of your life's meaning. We break relations, we create relations but, we can't live without a relation, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing great post.
Have a great day and stay blessed.
Thanks a lot for your kind words.
Welcome.
I really love what you say about family being made in the heart. So many of my friends are my family. Every relationship requires a co-commitment to keep it working, and that's what love is to me. <3
@shawnamawna Thanks for stopping by to comment. I followed you
I often think of romantic love as a trick of nature to get the species going still beside ourselves. The whole thing involves some mental acrobats towards witless prediction and divining of the subject of ones longing or lust, trying to fit them into some delusion and drama.As always, a splendid short prose. Thank you, @mariaentela.
@deadsparrow Thank you very much for stopping by to write such a warm comment.
Very well written, keep it up, Cheers.
Lovely post it's good to be more aware and in control of our relations
Awesome post. Sorry for arriving late to the party 🙈. People open up when they feel safe. They take risks when they feel safe. Creating a safe environment for intimacy to flourish means that each person needs to take responsibility in creating safety within themselves, because each relationship begins with YOU. Bananas to this 😁🍌.
I am eternally interested in the human relationships we have. The love gained, and the love lost. The interference and motivations of those apparent loved ones who destroy others relationships too... it is close to my heart. I enjoyed your post.. it is food for thought.
It is a good reminder to realize that we are a part of every relationship. Sometimes all we can do is change ourselves and sometimes relationships are toxic and we need to let go... but still, the only one we can truly change is ourselves. Great, though provoking post!
Relationships are very important for happiness. Family, friends and partner give us social and psychological supports. Good writing. Thank you.
Well said :) I especially liked the part about friendship, about not knowing, not curing and not healing. Sometimes that's all friends can do. :)
