When it comes to relationship

We all know relationship is built on the foundation of love.

Love conquers all.

Because love has many members in it so that the people involved can rise above failure, I particularly resonate with acceptance, communication and trust, which I call it "ACT".

Yes, it means apart from having these in heart, it must be carried out in action too.

A relationship involves two individual that carries different qualities, thus acceptance is utterly important. We are not dealing with perfect person, so we have to deal with problems. While problem itself merely mean as the sign of improvement, what cause problem to go out of hand is the level of acceptance - the lower it is the worse the problem become. I am not talking about "taking all in without any awareness and effort of correction" but rather to accept disagreement happens for the sake of building mutual understanding.

After all we choose and being chosen to spend time(life) together, so in order to go through all odds together we must first accept this person in - as in individually and together to build this bond - to be able to think independently but taking both parties into one account, in all circumstance.

To be able to do that, one must willing to change, the way one think, act and react.

Because compromising two different standing points needs tolerance, without acceptance it is very difficult to achieve. Some chooses avoidance either simply compromise without discussing or walk away from it and pretend it's never there.

To speak is important. Not for the sake of speaking but letting the partner know what you really think. It is the key to enter another person's heart when talking the heart out is being practiced. It is a recognition that the partner(and you too) need so that both can find the same tune.

Communication allows two hearts to come by. It not only specifically stating what is on one's mind but also invite more options to come into discussion. As we know data produces information, the input of both parties help result in better understanding.

When acceptance and communication are in place, only trust can happen. Because trust is the strong support to a relationship thus it must be treated with respect. Trusting the partner is a significant appreciation of relationship because it brings two souls to come together and bond them to become one.

A relationship is an ever growing thing, it means we need to perform maintenance in order to keep it growing better.

It means relationship is something we need to learn and earn, with our effort.
