Building Your Relationship on Solid Foundation

We all want to have great relationships but it begins by looking beyond what is seen. How much do you know and understand your partner? What is the true character of the person you wish you spend the rest of your life with?

These are some of the questions that need to run through your veins and mind when you meet someone or start dating. It is easy to focus on the good looks which can be deceptive or the beauty which can be vain but the character of your partner will reveal their integrity, ability to be loyal and faithful to you while remaining honest, transparent and committed.

No is will ever be perfect but learning to see beyond the looks, getting to know the person behind the mask and understanding how your values, goals and vision will complement one another can help you narrow down what to look for and save you from a heartbreak.

There will be no need to rush on emotions if you take the time to evaluate your needs and that of your partners while still friends. Friendship should always be the foundation of a relationship that will lead to courtship and eventually marriage.

Without being friends, you may never know a lot about the person you are planning to spend the rest of your life with.

This often results in conflict later on in the relationship. Learn to spend quality time discussing your values, visions and goals. Talk about finance and children beyond the romance.

Building on this foundation will set the pace for the relationship and you both will later see the return on investments (ROI) for the time spent weighing on issues earlier on in the game.

A long-lasting relationship begins with building on a solid foundation (your values, your vision, communication, integrity and commitment to name a few) without which everything will crumble.
