Learning to grow together. People are always changing. Nothing that is living stays static in this world. The trick of making a relationship work is to both grow in complimentary directions. You can and should be different...have different likes and dislikes and different hobbies etc. Too much togetherness can actually stifle a relationship. But if you respect each other, and love each other, and want the best for each other then the relationship will work because you are growing in that same direction.
It is very hard not to be selfish in a relationship, and want what YOU want first. The mark of a mature human being is being able to put the other person's needs on an equal footing to your own. Notice I said equal footing--no one should subjugate themselves in a relationship. There should be no ME FIRST, or YOU FIRST going on. It should always be an US.

the hardest part for me is the giving up of the inner me that I have protected for so long. I also find that to receive love and trust I must allow myself to find that in myself to be reciprocated by my spouse. This is a very hard thing to do even part of the time.If I have no inner love and gifts then how can i make another happy? A relationship or marriage is constant work and change and as i am in my 3rd marriage you would think I had it down pat, but just the opposite as I am still learning. On top of everything my husband became severly disabled two years ago and so now down to the nitty-gritty of true love.

The answer is quite simple actually, the hardest part of a relationship is being able to communicate to eachother your needs, wants, problems, etc. If you can keep the lines of communication open, it should be pretty smooth sailing, although there is no guarantee that there won't be rough waters now and then. Best wishes and enjoy your day!

the hardest part for me is opening my self up to someone i try to hide my feelings most of the time and just go along with whatever the other person is wanting and the makes a one sided relationship that tends not to work out to well. letting someone in my world is very hard for me i have been hurt a few times and i tend to just leave a relationship when i feel to conected to the person i am with.

I think it all depends on the relationship. Do you live with each other, if not... do you see each other all the time?
If you live with each other, then keeping things fresh can get a bit tough. If you don't live together, then finding the time to get together and do stuff together can be the hard part. Either way, all you can do is communicate everything that is good, bad, or indifferent.

I think being truthful and or faithful. Also trying to spend your time with that person all the tim. Not all the time but sometimes you get tired of seeing or talking to that person sometimes. Also agreeing on things is the biggest cause you don't agree on everything in a relationship like my relationship we don't agree but we debate about it and hear each others point of view.

Um everything I suck at relationships I think for me it's got to be always wondering what their ulterior motive is why are they saying that, what are they thinking? I over analyze everything and I am way too cautious about some stuff and not cautious enough about others but you already know that huh? xoxox

I think its not letting the little things make you mad. To pick your fights, Its hard not to get mad at someone who you spend so much time with, especially if you live together...
Hopefully you have a mature relationship and don't fight about stupid things all the time, [that comes with young age i think]

There is only one thing worse than NOT being in a relationship, and that is being in a relationship.

keeping eachother happy 24/7, not getting too comfortable and end up being bored!
