Recent trend is 'failed relationships.' Divorce rate is escalating. There is failure in parent-child relationship. Friendship is not the same as it used to be.
Here is my little wisdom on successfully maintaining a relationship. (My wisdom comes from merely observing my family's and other's relationship with each other) Let me call it Four T's for a great relationship.
1. Time
2. Talk
3. Touch
4. Treat
Time
----
* Each relationship requires time from both parties.
* It is important to take time out to spend with one another to maintain the relationship.
Talk
----
* Talk it out.
* You must have something in common to talk about to maintain the relationship
* Ask/Listen
* Talk about feelings (only if the other party is comfortable)
* Communicate, keep things simple
* Communicate even small issues. It's important to get the small things figured and solved immediately.
Touch
-----
* A pat in the back
* A hug
* Cuddle
Treat
-----
* Treat the other with praise
* Show your appreciation by your actions.
* Smile at them
* Example, treat them with a small ice-cream party just because you like them.
