How to Understand What a Relationship Means

Relationships with friends, co-workers, boyfriend/girlfriend
husband/wife, and family are important components of our
lives
Know that Relationships can mean different things
to different people. There are various types of
relationships such as friend, work, dating & marriage, and
family relationships. As we go through life, we will meet a
variety of people and will build relationships with them,
whether they be good or bad. The relationships we make
with other people will be with us forever so it is greatly
important that we make these relationships lasting and
good.
Understand that good friend relationships are
essential. A friend that you have a good relationship
with is someone who is always there for you no matter
what. A friend is someone who you can trust to tell
anything to. A friend, most importantly, is someone who
tells you the truth especially when you don’t want to hear
it. They tell it to you even though it may hurt, because they
care about you. That is what defines a real, true friend.
Always do things in friendships, without expecting
anything in return. This is what makes a great friendship.
One needs to work on friendship continuously in order to
keep it viable.
Learn about work relationships. These are the
people who we see every day but are not necessarily
close to. These relationships can be very important to your
success. If you build good relationships with the people
you work with or the people your in school with, it can
only be asset to your success in your job or life. Great
thing could come from it such a promotion, a raise, or just
being liked by your coworkers. But to build a real
relationship we shouldn’t have our focus entirely centered
on just getting a promotion or raise and those things.
Good relationships aren’t based on those types of things
but rather on an inward desire to love others regardless of
who they are or what authority they have over you.
Familiarize with dating & marriage relationships.
These are some of the most common relationships
that we encounter in our society. Whether it be dating or
marriage, relationships like these sometimes cause
controversy. In relationships like these, you have to keep
your focus on the right things to make it work. If you love
someone, try your best to win this person over. True love,
even a great love does not come by very often.
Know about family relationships. These types of
relationships are probably the most important of all
whether it be with a father, mother, son, or daughter.
Good relationships with your parents are very significant
and can dramatically effect the life of the son or daughter.
It is proven that a child that has grown up in a good
relationship with their parents is more likely have a better
attitude, better grades, and make better decisions. You
can see how big of an effect a good parent/child
relationship could have on the child’s life. It can
potentially effect every part of a child’s life. This is not to
say that a child that has grown up in a bad relationship
with their parents can not be successful. But it
tremendously helps if they do. A child that has grown up
in a good relationship is close to their parents and
therefore, a lot more likely to listen to what they have to
say.
As you can see, relationship play an immensely
important role in one’s life. So it is more important
than ever to build good, long lasting relationships.
Look for quality in any relationship. Depth and
sincerity should be most important. Have a few good,
solid and rewarding relationships rather than focusing on
too many people, who slip in and out of your life as and
when they please.
