Good day my ardent Vsix’s Blog Readers (VBR), I am always grateful seeing that you all are dedicated reader of this blog. As i will always say, I am not a relationship expert and I don’t believe anyone is, I just have thoughts as it relates to relationship, maybe because I have had some experiences to share, but again, my experiences is not standard to what relationship should be. Happy Easter, I believe you had an awesome celebration.
I came across this lines of thoughts from ICE, who is a student from the University of Benin, Benin-city, Nigeria. A one time Student union president aspirant. In his thoughts, he confirmed that he is not just a politician, but also a love expert. smile. I hope you find this interesting…
“I have discovered that love doesn’t guarantee the success of a relationship. Love cannot help you stick to one person all years round, and on the other hand, cheating isn’t always a product of not loving your partner.
In fact, loving someone doesn’t guarantee not falling in love with someone else.
Relationships work out mostly because of our heads and not our hearts.
It works out because of our emotional maturity, empathetic intelligence and self discipline because, time will come when you’ll see more beautiful, handsome, romantic, intelligent, sexy, rich, curvy and God fearing people than the one you’re in a relationship with.
In those times, love will not help you but self control will; emotional intelligence will come to your rescue and commitment will keep you going.
With those characteristics, no matter how you feel for someone else, the person you’re committed to will rank first in your life.
You think happily married people don’t see better people than the ones they married? You think they don’t feel funny sometimes? You think they don’t catch feelings? They do!
But understanding that commitment is greater than feelings is the great arsenal that do destroy that impulse.
You can fall in love with anyone, but building a relationship takes absolutely more than what attracted you to them and takes more than love.
We are too fond of loving when it’s convenient and sweet. We are too fond of loving when LOVE is there — which in most cases may not last beyond the first 2 years of the relationship.
After then, you’ll realize that the feelings have dropped, it’s now your responsibility to make it work, not love’s responsibility.
Relationship cannot be ready-made. You have to build it and it’s never always about love, it requires commitment and intelligence.
On the long run in marriages, it’s not just love that keeps them together forever, it’s determination and commitment.
Everyone falls in love; it takes little or no effort to do that. But staying in love? Building a relationship? Only the strong and committed ones do that.
That’s why we must find that one person and commit to that one, discipline yourself bridle your emotions.
Building a relationship is hard work, it’s like building a career, It’s like pursuing a dream.
It’s always tough, at some point it will be so bitter but you can make it work by putting your heads together, you can scale through the trying times by being focus and committed.
The kind of love that attracts two people together is not the kind of love that will keep them together. Be emotionally strong and be self disciplined.”
