What's the best relationship advice you've ever received?

Be yourself" it's simple advice but it works great. Any other advice amounts to "make this temporary change so you can get over the hard part, then go back to normal" which results in just delaying any possible bad outcome. Communication is great but unless it's part of who you are it won't stick and the relationship will be doomed once you go back to your old ways.So an addendum to "be yourself" would be "make sure you are who you want to be.

The best advice we ever got was from my husbands grandmother. She said that before any arguement to stop and think if it is something that will affect you a year from now, 5 years, 20 years. If the answer is no then it isn't worth the arguement.

She said this mostly because my hubby had a short temper and would yell over alot of things early on...he has mellowed alot and although it took a bit we do follow that advice more often then not.

Communication, communication, communication! I'm talking about constructive communication. When two people are yelling at each other it's very counter productive because it throws everyone into defense mode.

This means, their mouths are open, their ears are closed, and their minds are too busy thinking of things to say to the other person instead of listening to what the other person is saying. When a conflict arises, the best thing to do is remain calm and rational. Sit down and talk to each other, in turn, stating how the situation in question makes you feel and why.

This way, the conflict is resolved as quickly and effortlessly as possible. Otherwise, the fight could go on for days until the emotions run out and people become sane again.

Don't marry until she's 27, that's when you'll know if she's crazy for good. ;).

After a break up, do things that keep you busy and things you enjoy. Best advice is "They come and they go.

Communication is important, as is forgiving and a number of other things. However, I think the best advice I've ever received is don't jump into anything too fast. If you get married 4 months into your relationship, your chances for success go WAY down.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
