RELATIONSHIP GUIDE

.. written by Hilary Ezeh

Relationship occurs between two or more individuals who has similarities in thought, dreams, likes or interest. To be in a relationship, one has to be willing to adjust and adapt some characteristics. Relationship shouldn't be a sole responsibility to maintain by one partner.


Most relationship now is having some sort of rough edge because of a torn called "expectations". With the high level of "how I want it to be" and "what it should be", a lot of relationship is falling even in marriage.


Relationship is supposed to be an avenue or a point of "tutor and learning". It is to learn and understand some new characters and unlearn some former ones so as to accommodate one another. No one is alpha in a relationship that's why it requires two or more individuals.


Relationship should be seen and accepted as an institution, an arena for social and extra moral acquisition. Therefore, it shouldn't start with high expectations especially towards individualistic prowess and it should also give room for "self expression".


Most important traits for healthy relationship:

1. COMMUNICATION
Communication is of utmost importance and is the base of relationship. Many couples and individuals don't take communication seriously and this somehow creates a hole in their relationship. Some tends to suppress their feelings when they are hurt or angry and they give each other the silent treatment instead of communicating and resolving issues. This makes things worse and most times collapses the relationship.

2. ATTENTION
Giving attention to your partner and listening to all that they have to say is as important as expressing your feelings to them. Every individual deserves attention, that makes them feel belonged(feel like family). Attention should be a daily gift in a relationship and it is the path for understanding your partner.

3. TRUST
Trust is one of the most important ingredients of a happy and healthy relationship. Trust is the most important gift in life, though it seems uncertain most times. Trust makes every relationship firm and it brings a lot of confidence.

4. Respect
Respecting the individuality of your partner is another important thing in a relationship. Respect shows value, it's shows how important your partner is to you. Respect brings balance in a relationship.

5. LOVE
Love is the act of understanding, accepting and submission of ones wills and prowess to accommodate another. Love is the most important trait in a relationship. Love should be unconditional.

Trump not qualified to be president, says Obama

Outgoing President Barack Obama condemned Donald Trump as unsuitable to be commander-in-chief Thursday, after the Republican nominee blasted US military brass and praised Vladimir Putin. "I don't think the guy's qualified to be president of the United States and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed," Obama said in unusually caustic language while overseas. Obama is in Laos for a summit with South East Asia leaders and his final trip to east Asia. "I can tell you from the interactions I have had over the last eight or nine days with foreign leaders that this is serious business," Obama said. "You actually have to know what you are talking about and you actually have to have done your homework. When you speak, it should actually reflect thought out policy you can implement." Trump on Wednesday raised eyebrows by saying that Russia's president was "far more" of a leader than Obama. Putin is "very much of ...
