Relationships & Love by Skarlen Sabaris

Topics about relationships and love is not a very controversial in today’s reality, but it plays a big role in our life. If our society were more educated about love and relationships, many divorces and separations would be avoided, and would avoid that children grow up without the support of their parents.

1. According to the article “Pensamientos” by Marcela Aires, published in July 2007, shows that  love is one of the most powerful things that all of us wants to have. Love is what makes you wake up everyday with dedication and hope. Love is what makes you become a better person, and is what makes you understand that not everything in life is about money or materials. Love is not only an emotional feeling, is what makes you live for others and for the ones you love.

2. In the magazine “What Love Means” by Marcela Aires, shows that love is one of the most wonderful things, but also is one of the biggest painful feelings. When someone you love hurts you, you feel the world is coming to you, many consequences comes behind, that makes you feel less and the most insignificant person.

3.According to “Soltar, Para Volver a Vivir” a article written by Silvia Russek, shows that in a relationship we must be always honest, but not give too much. Not cling to anyone onto you see there is connection between. It will evit painful feeling in case something goes wrong during the relationship.

4. In the article Entregando y Recibiendo el Amor que Necesitas by Rebetzin Tzipora Heller, shows that we must be flexible in order to have a good relationship. There must be understanding, tolerance and honesty toward the partner. Especially understand that we are humans, and we make mistakes.

5. Oddly enough, jealousy is one of the first things that can break up a relationship. Jealousy is only fear, insecurity. Jealousy comes from distorted thoughts to some extent that may be offensive and gradually leaving partner mistrust. As Miriam Ronca Diaz describes in the article “Los Celos: Enemigo de la relación de parejas”

6. Based on this article Relationships and Self Esteem by Divod Lieberman, we should give love but knowing what we are worth for and who we are. Meaning that, we should have a healthy relationship not only with a partner and friends, but also value yourself and  life for yourself.

7. In the article “10 Reasons Why Love Ends” by Victoria Villamil, shows that love does not end from night to morning, but also it shows that small things are the one that basically breaks the relationship. For example little ambition– show talent for the future, and demonstrate your partner your ability to progress and accomplish your goals. How peculiar could this be?

8. Based on The “One Major Cause Of Relationship Problems” by Dr. Margaret Paul, There about 6 to 7 major cause that many relationships ends up in problems. The most important one is  self-abandonment, because we judge our self, rather than accept our self as we are. We get on a depression, anxiety, guilt and shame because we don’t feel sure and we feel unloved by our partner. If we don’t do something before the problem covers us, the trust and the confidence in the relationship will basically thwart.

9. Based on this article “Relationships and Self Esteem” by Divod Lieberman sours out that everything depends on our self esteem. If we misunderstand what we are, we won’t be able to love, to cooperate or have a lovely relationship. If our self esteem is in a low way it will be hard to have a relationship because every single word will affect you, and if someone don’t show you love it will be a very painful situation.

10. According to Sundara Blair, in the article “Why the Divorce Rate is so High: Observations From the Front-Row Seat of a Couples Counselor”. Starting or during the dating relationship we see marriage as a princess dream which is basically what leads us to marriage. After times goes by, things might change. We blame our partners or the relationship, when we don’t see things in the way we want it or imagined they would be. When we realized that we are not living a fantasy, we get disappointed and we start to feel insecure and unhappy. Our emotional and physical life deteriorates and basically is how you don’t feel trust or you don’t feel the partnership confident anymore. Within the time the decision of the divorce is more than a need.
