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.

Liverpool have their own miracle, Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has warned his side against complacency as they prepare to cross swords with Maribor in the Champions League on Wednesday, two weeks after pummelling the Slovenians 7-0. Klopp delved into the history books to underline the lesson for the five-time European champions as they try to take a decisive step towards qualification from Group E. In the 1954 World Cup the much-fancied Hungary, featuring Ferenc Puskas and Sandor Kocsis, beat the then West Germany team 8-3 in the group stages, only for the Germans to exact revenge in the final as they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Such was the achievement it was made into a 2003 film: “The Miracle of Bern”. Liverpool have their own miracle — when they recovered from 3-0 down to win the Champions League final in 2005 — and Klopp is well aware that football can be unpredictable. “I am from Germany so I know in 1954 we lost against Hungary in the group stage really clear then won the World Cup final,” he sai...

We Cannot Have A Fugitive As President- APC Tells Atiku

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to come clean “on the nagging issue of his travel ban to the United States of America” following his alleged indictment for corruption in that country. The challenge came on Sunday as rumours of an alleged “presidential impostor” gathered momentum. The ruling party accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of instigating the ‘silly’ claim. The rumours took a dangerous hype at the weekend following the reported stabbing of a Nigerian diplomatic attaché recently in Sudan. Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, in a statement, said the PDP was busy entertaining people with what it called “silly conspiracies around the president, and ignoring credibility issues surrounding its candidate”. He added: “From silly conspiracies on the shape of the President’s ear, a ludicrous allegation of a presidential body d...
