How To Make A Relationship Work
From eyes meeting across a crowded room to that first kiss, love is the catalyst that brings two people together. They have no knowledge of each other, but are willing to see where their liaison might take them. Sound familiar? It should be, as this is how most relationships start out. We are all different; each of us made up from the sum of our life experiences to date. But no matter what our background, if we want our relationship to work then we must understand how to make a relationship work.
So just what are the elements of a good relationship? Every successful relationship is built on a strong foundation - a foundation where respect and communication are the two cornerstones. Mutual respect for one another's feelings is essential if a relationship is to work. If you are just in a relationship to serve your own needs then you're going to run into trouble, as denying your partner's rights to express themselves is not how to make a relationship work at all. Both partners should have equal rights in a relationship - make sure this is respected.
Good communication, where both partners feel that they can talk openly about any situation - even the more difficult subjects in a relationship - is equally as important. This does not mean that you have to see eye-to-eye on every issue…not many people in stable relationships do! Agreeing to disagree is fine, so long as arguments are resolved and not left in the balance with one or both partners going into silent-sulk mode.
Actively seeking conversation from your partner and encouraging them to talk about themselves, their feelings and opinions without any prejudice or hidden agenda on your part is how to make a relationship work. But it's not just about getting them to talk it is also about being able to listen…I mean REALLY LISTEN! Only when you can sit down with your partner and truthfully say that you heard and felt every word that they said will you have a relationship that is really going places.
Other essential ingredients required to make a relationship work include…
Honesty - Being truthful to each other, as well as truthful to your own feelings is a central principle in all successful relationships. If you can tell each other your worst secrets and its okay, then you've got a strong relationship that will last.
Sharing - Common interests that you both enjoy is the glue that binds a relationship together. If you both appreciate doing things together like going for a quiet walk, going on an activity holiday or learning a new language then you've got the makings of a steadfast relationship.
Making time for each other - Busy lives, whether embodied in careers, friends or family commitments can dull a happy relationship. Don't become ships that pass in the night…ALWAYS make time for each other, no matter how stretched your schedule!
Hope dis will help u..................

Well, it is going to take both partners in order to make it a good relationship in the end. What you can do on your part is basically give more than you recieve and hopefully he will do the same.
You can start by communticating to him and be understanding when he screws up a little. Don't try to nag or run over him. If something is wrong, do tell him. He can't read your mind. Don't confuse love with sex. Love him for who is is.
If you can do those things, the rest will be easier to figure out.

Love is the answer to everything. All you ever need is love,
communication and understanding. That's what I figured out so
far. If you are down, you need to get up and start doing something with
your life. Don't need to be shy, be straight forward and allways say what
you want and expect from the others.

If you have the time, and you are looking for someone, complete this simple

be yourself....give him space....never reveal to much about yourself guys like a lil mystery to a woman...keep the communication lines open...cause without communication there is no relationship...keep it interesting don't go bored on him always come up with something new to do to keep the flame going. find out what he's interested in so you could join him on some of the things that he like to do... cause ppl get tired of the same ole story...cause they already know whats gonna happen...i usually keep my men in suspence it keeps them coming back for more...dont be the gossiping type cause most guys don't like that...but if i was you i would take it from there
