Maintaining a Friendship in a Relationship
You are so much in love with your companion, but are the two of you are friends? Now that you have fallen in love with that person, has it made you lose the friendship you might have had at very beginning of the relationship? If you find yourself not treating them as a friend and only as a lover, you might need to develop a friendship with your partner again. Some of the most wonderful relationship is the ones that the two people are still friends, as well as lovers. How do you keep the friendship in your relationship, now that you have crossed that line to become lovers?
Once you fall in love with someone you tend to start acting differently towards them and that is how you lose the friendship. We should not start acting differently with our partners. Then way that you communicated with each other in the very beginning is the same way you should continue communicating as the relationship develops. In the beginning you talked to each other like friends do when they are getting to know each other, you should never stop. Friends can discuss anything with each other, and that is the most important part of a relationship that should remain with your lover. You are more intimate with your lover than any friend that you might have, so you needed that friendship more with your partner than anyone else.
Friends are not afraid to show each other how much they care for each other and can work out any situation. When you keep that friendship with your partner, you can work out any problems you might have. You feel more at ease to discuss anything with each other and that will keep complications out of your relationship for a stronger bond. You will find when you have a friendship in your relationship, you spend time together not because you are in a relationship, but because you genuinely like being with each other. That friendship will have the both of you doing things with each other because you truly enjoy doing those things together, like most friends do…
Maintaining a friendship in your relationship is not hard to do once you both decide that you want a friendship and work together to keep it. Most couples lose their friendship when no one is working to maintain it and they let go what they had in the beginning, instead of keeping what was developed when they first started. Friends are one of the most wonderful things you can have in your life and being friends with someone you love is the most beautiful thing there is. Both people have to want to have a friendship along with their intimate relationship for it work and grow into whatever level they want to be at next. Being friends with your partner can make the relationship so great that it can lead to a marriage. If you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, that someone should be your friend. Then person that you decide and look forward to spending the rest of your life with will be much easier to be with for a life time, if that person is your friend.
