Relationship Reflection
Relationships are essential in life. At some point, people develop relationships with people of all walks of life. It just so happen that I developed a relationship with a man who was born in the same hospital as me, one year apart, lived in the same state as me as a child, lived approximately 15 mins away from me and never knew him, shared the exact same culture, views and values and never met until I moved to Georgia, at the age of 20. This man is now my husband of three beautiful years. Outside of the fact that we share so many similarities in our lives, we established a Secure and positive relationship. We made it a mission to communicate with one another no matter the situation. We build each other up and sharpen one another in our times of need. Despite our efforts to maintain this positive relationship, there is no perfect relationship. We have our disputes, but have established such a dedicated, strong, influential and positive relationship, that we have learned, and are still learning, how to overcome those trials and move on. My relationship with my husband gets me through me day. He motivates me to be true to myself in all aspects of my life. He pushes me to strive for the best and to give my all, while reminding me that he is right behind me, supporting me as I go. Another positive relationship I have is one with my parents. Growing up in a nuclear household, both of my parents played an active role in my life and everyday endeavors. I have learned so much from my mom and dad and I am truly grateful to have such a strong and positive relationship with them both.

The connection between yourself and your husband almost seems like it was one crafted by destiny. I could only image the reactions and expressions on both of your faces when you discovered all your similarities.
ReplyDeleteI think think independence is key to partnerships. "We build each other up and sharpen one another in our times of need." This line carries so much meaning to it.Being part of a person's support system is an honor and a privilege, being someone's significant other is a once in a life time opportunity. These relationships have to be grounded in the same values you mentioned above in order to be successful.
