Back To Basics
All relationships experience conflict. These can be marriages, friendships, or relationships between parents and children. Unfortunately, too many people seem unable to resolve their differences. A relationship that was once a work of art can, over time, start resembling a discolored and crumbling canvas.
And the amazing realization is this: the incidents that finally destroy a relationship are usually small and insignificant! Big decisions and huge obstacles don't usually pull people apart. Most people in committed relationships can stand united when disaster strikes. It's the little problems, the insignificant stressors, that do the most damage when allowed to fester.
Do you know what issue causes the greatest number of conflicts in households? According to a "USA Today" report, people argue most often about which TV show to watch! Can you believe that the selection of television programs has become a major cause of unhappiness for many families?
They forget what is important! They forget that relationships are built on love, respect, consideration, kindness, and understanding. They forget all the compelling and wonderful reasons that brought them together in the first place. Instead, they let minor inconveniences become major issues. In short, they forget the basics. And they pay a high price for their forgetfulness.
For healthy and satisfying relationships, it's vital to remember the basics:
- Remember that the people in your life are more valuable than things. That is basic.
- Remember that there's a difference between inconveniences and hardships. That is basic.
- Remember that the "little things," if left unattended, can hurt a relationship as much as the big ones. That, too, is basic.
- And remember that love between individuals -- friends or family -- is the most precious possession we humans can hope to attain. Above all, other people should be cherished.
It's basic -- all of it. But it's the stuff of happy lives.
