More in a Relationship than Romance
There’s More To A Relationship Than Romance
There’s no doubt that one of the greatest things about being
in a relationship is the romantic connection and the chemistry that you share.
But there’s more to a solid relationship than just romance and physical
attraction. When you take the time to build a strong relationship with someone
you can enjoy these added benefits that often outlast any lust or chemistry:
1. Friendship. Many
romantic relationships turn into close friendships and this is one of the
greatest rewards of being in a relationship. Not only do you have someone to go
on dates with, but you often find your best friend and gain a wonderful
friendship. When you spend lots of time with someone and open yourself up to
them, it’s only natural that you become friends. As your relationship grows, so
will your friendship.
2. Support. Being
in a relationship means that there’s always someone there who has your back.
When times are tough, when everyone else turns against you, and when you need a
shoulder to cry on, your partner should be there to support you and give you
what you need. It’s not always glamorous, but having someone who will support
you through thick and thin is one of the greatest rewards of a relationship.
3. A
sounding board. Your partner should be one of your closest
confidants, someone who you can talk to about just about anything. They are
someone you can vent to, bounce ideas off of, talk to when you’re excited about
something, or even just someone to chat to when you’re bored. You don’t have to
keep things bottled up inside when you’re in a relationship and have someone
that you can talk to instead.
4. A
cheerleader. We don’t always feel confident in ourselves and
our partners can be great cheerleaders when we need a boost. A good partner
will know, without having to be asked, that you need a bit of a pep talk or a
confidence boost. They are there to cheer you on when you accomplish something
and they can give you the pat on the back that you deserve, and they’re also
there when you’re down and out and need encouragement.
5. Comfort. After
the romance and fireworks of a new relationship fade away, your partner is
someone who you can just be comfortable with. This isn’t to say that you should
totally let yourself go, but rather that you can relax together and let go of
trying to impress others or put on an act. Your partner loves you for who you
truly are, so they are someone you can be comfortable with and just be yourself
around.
