Standing strong against the tide: Three quick tips for relationships and getting to the alter with the "one"

Sure, we sell the products, but somewhere along the lines, we have asked ourselves, how do we go from point A to point B? In this equation, we're talking about relationships and how can it possibly go from dating and spending the rest of your life together! This week's focus, we decided to change gears just a little bit to provide a bit of advice for those who wish to enter that next stage. Every day, we will provide three reasons for strong relationships and other days will focus on how to possibly fix situations.

1) Not using love in vain

Sure. we all get into saying "I love you" at some points, but at one point or another it becomes habitual and becomes meaningless. That is because we use the word in vain and eventually, the once strong word becomes something we are used to. A lot of times, we catch ourselves just saying it because well, perhaps we do not have anything else better to say at the moment.

So instead, make it a habit to only say it at times where it really means something. The three words we hear should always remain strong. It's a sentimental word that reminds us why we love the other person. If you are really happy and are at an amazing point of your life, say it, but not too often.

2)Money is not the key or the scape goat.

Money makes the world go round? Not always the case. You can spend all the money in the world, but knowingly an issue with males is the fact that the male race tends to do everything in life with money. Men don't believe they can live without money and everything has to be done with it. From food to girlfriends or wives, men tend to just throw the money bomb just to get rid of this not so amazing feeling.

So instead of wasting money needlessly, ask yourself, what else can you do in order to make your loved one happy again? Can a talk really help? It sure can, all that is needed is laughter or a reminder of why you two are here in the first place. In order to be happy again, you need to get to the source of the issue instead of using money as a way to ignore every problem that you have. It's a fact, you have to deal with the issue!

3)When talking things through, find the issue for both people

Instead of complaining about what the other person did wrong, admit what you did wrong. Two sides make a wrong and if there can't be an agreement in the end, it is one of the reasons why a relationship ends up breaking before every making it to the wedding phase. Communication is the key in today's blog and stubbornness can contribute to many problems.

Face it, we all know what we had done wrong, but instead of making it seem like we should admit our faults, we like to blame the other person. If they love us so much, they will take the fall right? Of course not. Instead of turning that person into a slave, be equal to one another.

Forcing someone to do anything for you is horrible, so cool off and find all sources of the issue and attempt to fix it before it becomes habitual. All three things on the list today are huge contributors to bad habits that can potentially ruin relationships by tiring someone out.

The key to the wedding day is happiness and not having to question if that person is right for you. If you love someone, both sides should be equal to one another. If the feeling feeds off of one another, that is what love really is.

We do not get tired of it, instead we should nurture it and build something special in the end.
