I mentioned in another thread that I am currently in the most successful relationship I have ever been in. I attribute that success to a philosophy that we both approach our relationship with. I believe that if all parties in the relationship make a conscious effort to treat each other at least as well as they treat people they have just met, that they will find a level of satisfaction w/ their relationship unlike any they have ever known. This means being tolerant, patient, and kind.
I also suggest that each person be quick to see where they could improve, to constantly make an effort to do so.
One of the things I have tried to do w/ my last couple of relationships, is to look @ my part in their failure, not to blame or beat myself up for their failure, but to learn.
