Whether you've been in a long
relationship or just beginning one, you may not have a vision for what you'd
like from the relationship and how you want it to feel. What kind of
communication style would you like? How do you want to resolve conflict? How
much time do you want to spend together? How important is physical touch and
affection? Without defining this vision, you and your partner are simply
reacting to circumstances rather than creating the ideal relationship you want.
If you aren't in a relationship now, it's still smart to create your own
relationship vision for the future. Then you'll be prepared to find the type of
person who will share your vision.
Action Steps:Make a list of relationship
questions like those above. You can use this list of questions to help
you. Write down your answers to the questions listed, thinking carefully about
the mutual happiness and satisfaction of both people in the relationship. If you
are currently married or in a serious relationship, do this exercise with your
partner. If you are single, write the answers for yourself and hold on to them
for the future when you are in a relationship.
