When it comes to the journey of a relationship

When it comes to the journey of a relationship, most of us take leaps instead of logical steps. It is common in new relationships to follow your heart more than your mind. Though this is not a bad thing it can often blind us to the truth of who a person really is. We so often get caught up in how good they look we don't look at how ugly they can act. We pay so much attention to how good they treat us as they are trying to win us over. We never notice clues to their character.

That would be the first step for a good relationship. Paying attention from the beginning. Another step we all know is communication. Learn to communicate early so you won't be focusing on communication when things get rough. You will already have built a foundation on great communication so it will be easier to talk about issues when they do arise.

Don't exhaust all the romance. It's romantic period getting to know someone. As your relationship grows throw in some romantic gestures every once in awhile. No need to go overboard in the beginning. If it is spanned out the romance will seem to never die. That also helps to keep the relationship interesting and the two of you will have started a tradition together. Believe it or not a lot of couples don't continue to date and do things romantic together after the fire has dimmed and the kids have come. We discuss some great romantic ideas, even recipes, on our Relationship Rescue website.

Since you are thinking with your head as well as your heart you will be able to grab a sense on how trustworthy this person may be. Pay attention now so later you won't be saying to yourself "I never thought they would do this to me". Remember there are always clues into a persons character from the time you meet them. If you want to have a good relationship. Set yourself up from the beginning. Don't wait until things go sour and decide to ask what are the steps to a good relationship. We share wonderful discussions on steps to a good relationship as well as signs of a bad one, so please come join the discussion and learn more!
