5 Things Your Lover Expects From You

 The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves in them. -Thomas Merton

A successful relationship can only be  built on a foundation of love, trust, understanding and then you sacrifice. You sacrifice what is good to obtain something better. The major source of problem in any relationship is  the problem of expectation. Understanding the expectation of your spouse is key to experiencing a successful relationship.  If you are going through challenges in your relationship, before you quit, ask yourself this question: 'am I meeting the expectations of my spouse?' These are five things your lover expects from you.

1. Your Love

Love is the binding factor of any relationship. If there is no love then there is no relationship . Your love is what sparked into a  relationship. Keep the fire glowing in your relationship.

As the relationship progresses, most people begin to forget what started their love story. Don't fall into that category. Don't stop the things you did that made your spouse fall in love with you. Keep the spark, your spouse expects that from you. That's the foundation of your love; don't forget it.

2. Your Support

When love is only experienced during blissful time, there is something wrong with that love. During the time of difficulties is love tested. How do you act when your lover is passing through challenges? Do you complain and scold your lover or do you support your lover by holding your lovers' hand and marching on ready to face the challenge together. Your support in rainy days is paramount in determining the length of your relationship.

3. Your Time

Time is precious but can be valueless when spent with the wrong person. There is virtually no point in being in a relationship if you won't be able to spend time with the person. Relationship involves you understanding your lover and that can only happen when you spend time with your lover.

4. Your Friend

You being in a relationship shouldn't be to you as an opportunity for you to indulge in sexual acts. Ask yourself this question, 'how many sex is enough?' Your lover expects more from you. Your lover expects you to be his or her friend, confidant. This build a stronger bond in your relationship.

5. Your Honesty

Telling lies is like you preparing your favorite meal and then adding sand to it. When you tell lies to your partner, you are only moving present problems to the future because the truth can never be hidden for long. One day the truth will surface from the lies you have told your partner.

Love fades in a dishonest environment. Be honest to your partner, your partner expects that you. It is better to be what you are than to pretend to be what you are not.
