Relationship BootcampDaring to love is one of the most crucial elements of a long-term, committed relationship. Whether new or old, perfect or falling apart, a relationship can only get better. I do not claim to be an expert by any means. In some ways, I could use more work in some aspects than most. However, I have realized how important my relationship is to me, and I am committed to making it better from here on out. In light of this, I have done a lot of soul-searching, a lot of praying, and a lot of homework. Compiling it here, maybe it won't help just me. Bettering a relationship is not something that is ever considered by most. Most just believe things are the way they are, and he/she will never change. However, it is selfish to put blame on another and not look at yourself first. The first step is to take a look at yourself, and then build a path to nurturing your relationship. Choosing to lead your heart and choosing to love will, in the end, change you, your partner, and potentially change your life. Archives
