Why Openness is the Key to building a strong and healthy Relationship!
Hello everyone I hope you all had a nice week and spend some
time with families, friends, and loved ones. Today for this blog I want to
share with you a discussion topic that my girlfriend and I discussed last night
it has something to do with what I learned in my family relations class and it
mainly focuses on the importance of good communication in a relationship. So
for today, I want to talk with you about the reason why openness is the true
key to developing a pure and true relationship.Just last night my girlfriend shared that talked about the
importance of opening up to your lover/spouse. My girlfriend shared an Instagram
reel speaker that talked about how sleeping together doesn’t keep you close, and
living in a house together doesn’t even get you guys close the true reason why
a couple keeps each other close is being open with one another. What this
speaker from Instagram is talking about is talking with each other and being
truthful on certain topics like “how has your day been” or “what would you like
for dinner love” or even “what kind of fun things should we do for today?” Simple
questions like these help each other learn from one another and gather important
information such as likes and dislikes these kind of information helps couples
build a bond where they can do the things they like to keep each other happy
and avoid any dislikes that can question each other’s relationships. When I
first met my girlfriend for the first time I started questions like “What is
your favorite kind of music” or “If you can live anywhere where would it be and
why” or even “What are your future goals?” Not only these kinds of questions
helped me learn and know more about my girlfriend what surprised me the most
was the fact that we have loads of things in common. But every time we have any
little type of conflict this is where the important tool of openness comes in,
when she feels down or discourage instead of ignoring her I asked her, “Would you
like to discuss this with me?” And when she starts opening the conversation with
me I simply listen to her words and feel her intent and we talk about what certain
and simple solutions we can find and what kind of promises and oaths we can
make together to go from there and we simply live happily ever after. The
reason openness is the important key to a relationship is that if we simply hear
each other, feel each other’s intent, and see our own perspectives we can help
each other find solutions and help each other build a stronger bond and the sad
part thing is conflicts will happen in all relationships but the other thing
that doesn’t end is the solutions that we can find again. This reminds me of a
famous quote from my favorite Netflix series The Dark Crystal and the Age of
Resistance which is from a character Princess Tavera she shares advice for her
sister Brea which is, “remember the bonds of sisterhood will always be tested,
but never broken.” I want to share the same thing except it goes something like
this, “The relationships of couples will always be judged, but with pure love
and being true to it, it’ll never be destroyed.”
The scripture I will end this blog on for today is Doctrine
and Covenant which reads, “Look unto me with every thought, doubt not, fear not.”
I want to share a little bit more about this, this scripture means that if you
have any trials or struggles in life and you look unto the Lord, look unto me
with an
open mind and an open heart do not fear his judgment hear his words and
feel his every intent and the Lord will always bless you with guidance.
