BlogPost7: Meant to be?

Are you sure the man/woman besides you is really your soulmate? We didn’t know, only time knows if he/she’s the one who meant to us and will be our partner in life. We fall in love to someone and sometimes we already think he/she’s the one and this will be forever. But are you really sure if he/she’s the one, that really meant for you? Or he/she’s another person that will be part of your life?

In the article of “Signs your Relationship is Meant to be” by Ria Lawrence. If you imagine and picture yourself with your partner in the future with a house and children, it means you’re planning yourself already to be with your partner in the future. You imagine what your house look, you want like this or like that and you want to have a two to five children. In every relationship, there are always an arguments and some disagreement for something but if you resolve your issues with a mature manner and resolve it easily or quickly without resentments it means you’re really compatible each other and easily to resolve the issue easily. Respect each other like honor your boundaries, understand them if he/she have no time to you because they have also things they need to do. Being respected doesn't mean your needs always take priority over your partner’s. Compromise provides a relationship the flexibility it needs to keep from ripping apart and be considerate. And you accept him/her who or what he/she are.

In our life, we meet many people and enter a relationship and thought that these are forever. We should not think of word forever because we’re the one who will get hurt in the end. We should be happy because we have a chance to fall in love with someone and even though you broke up, always think that he/she's just part of you're life that will teach you something and it's part of growing up. Who knows, your next relationship will be the man/women that really meant for you.
