What's your current relationship status?
Are you flying solo or in a loving relationship?
Maybe everything isn't going as you wished, and you know a breakup is in the cards.
Or you could know that an engagement and happily ever after is in the near future.
Whether you are in a relationship or not is up to you. What's more important is that you know how to love yourself and your partner so that you can commit fully.
As you think about your relationship (or your last one), question yourself a bit more.
Do you have a healthy relationship?
It's okay to be honest.
Sometimes, we need to admit that the relationship could be better. Even if everything is going well, you might be looking to take your relationship to the next level.
Every relationship has routines that help you get through the day together. Over time, some of these routines become rituals that help you navigate life.
It's the little things like celebrating special days and saying, "I love you" before going to work that make a lasting relationship.
Doing this can be confusing at the beginning of a relationship. Even halfway through or many years later, you might find yourself questioning what is going on.
As your relationship progresses, you could become engaged and married. Some people choose to commit to each other as lifetime partners without all the legal fuss.
Whichever way you opt to go, your relationship has now gone from creating routines to becoming ritualized. Anniversaries are celebrated, birthdays are special occasions, and you know what makes each other tick.
Now, you need to keep your relationship going strong.
When you think of forever, you cannot lose sight of yourself. You have to be the best version of yourself to give your all in a relationship, but this sense of self can get lost if you have been in a relationship for a long time.
You cannot sustain a relationship with anyone forever if you do not know yourself, your needs, and your wants. Yes, you are one part of a pair, so you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
