Would You Like To Know Why Your Relationship is Failing?
Who doesn’t want to be in a loving relationship? I mean the pro’s are just endless. You never have to feel lonely again. You can support each other in hard times. You can have sex whenever you want. You always have someone to go out with.
Unfortunately, the reality is different. Many relationships aren’t actually that great. It might look like they are, from the outside. But we all know that’s not always the case.

But this approach is flawed.
Fully relying on one thing is not a smart move. We all know this. And the same goes for people. If you fully rely on someone, and that person disappears, you will fall and get hurt. And you might not be able to get back up again, because when you weren’t able to support yourself before, who says you can now…
When you fall, don’t ask people to carry you. Ask them how to get back up.
If you want to have a relationship that’s built to last, you have to do some work first. You have to work on yourself, as an individual. You have to discover who you…
