RELATIONSHIP TIPS: VALUES OF A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP (5)

It's another awesome weekend where we all rest and get to recover from all the activities and work load of the week by doing anything we love such as some hanging out with friends, playing, writing, reading etc. Today in our series, we shall be looking into the fifth value that makes a love relationship full of fun and life. I bet you probably didn't know this could be one of the values that makes a successful relationship.

RELATIONSHIP TIP 5 - MATURITY:
As one who gets to collect and appreciate love quotes composed over the years by great minds, I remember seeing one that describes real love as being able to take away all the mushy feelings of love such as the hugs, pecks, kisses, passions and romance, and still be able to show great care and concern for that person you're in a relationship with. Now that's the side of true love that I call maturity.

A lot of times, maturity is said to be related to the growth and development of an individual which reflects the chronological age of such an individual. But you would agree with me that you might have come across someone who acted in such a way that made you conclude that such a person was acting at the level of his/her age and peradventure you got to know the age of the person and you were shocked to find out that the age did not coincide with such a behavior.

Now that's because maturity really isn't a function of age at all. Maturity rather is a function of both experiences as well as exposure. In the context of a love relationship, maturity does so much good to both persons involved in the relationship, provided they both are mature. Maturity is the ability to respond appropriately with calmness and wisdom in any given situation. Maturity means taking responsibility for your emotions in order for them to bring about your partner's happiness most of the time.

When maturity precedes a relationship, it enables each partner to seek new ways to help each other grow in their love life and their personality in general. It creates room for a level of positive separation that they both need in their different respective ways, which in turn works to even bring them closer. Maturity is that element that which makes a "distant relationship" work. When both persons in the relationship are mature, they see distance as a means to even build their love for each other stronger, not as something that makes it fall apart. Maturity also helps partners to love and be satisfied with each other because they have an understanding that the acceptance of each other fuels perfection in each other's eyes and this has a way of helping them constructively come out of problems and misunderstandings.

One last thing about today's value: Maturity also shows itself as a form of patience when you exercise the ability to delay self gratification. For instance, say out of your love for your partner you express a certain desire or want. If your partner isn't ready to satisfy that desire of yours and puts it on hold, maturity is the ability to wait till he/she is ready to respond to such desires. So, there you have it for this weekend. For those of you who are yet to commence a love relationship, ensure that you look out for this quality of maturity. For you who are into one already, ponder on the things you've read and do apply the wisdom you receive.
