DEFINED RELATIONSHIP

Towards the end of my 2nd semester in my part one, I wrote a short article requesting people's views about asking a girl out. Critically looking at what my analysis was back then, many supported my view and demanded that I proceed to ask her out.

The process of the above type of relationship whether it leads to marriage or not is a tedious one in this era where people have this belief of jumping from one person to the other when things are not going on smoothly. However, my analysis back then did not really take on what makes a relationship to work. This write-up aims at explaining the types relationship and what makes a relationship work.

If we are to draw a clue from any dictionary about the possible definition of 'Relationship', it will be understood that it will all have to do with 'Connection'.  Our connection with everyone we deal with on a daily basis must be defined, be it our classmates, colleagues, roommates, or even those we often see. It is on the basis of this definition we have friends, brothers, sisters, acquaintances, husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, role model, mentor et al. This definition will give a proper guide and boundary to every relationship in all human circle. Most times people are close with one another but fail to define what type of relationship exist between them. In recent times, it is not surprising when you see two youngsters of opposite sex who are so closed with each other get to a certain level and ask themselves "Who are we?". This often comes up when one party feels that the friendship should lead to a romantic relationship.

More so, It will do our society much good and better understanding and mindset with one another when we understand the kind of relationship that exist between one another in the society.

It has been considered by many authors reasons why relationship work out or fail but for the purpose of this write-up, I will be giving three which includes:

1. DEDICATION/COMMITMENT- For any relationship to work out, be it romantic or mere friendship, there must be some level of commitment and dedication towards each other in the relationship to wax it strong. If both parties are committed to each other in the relationship, there's every certainty for a lasting relationship, the other side shows vices.

2. LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING:
These to me covers all, as without these no relationship will ever stand solid. Relationship built on love and understanding tend to wax strong even when situations demands otherwise.

3. TIME AND INTEREST:
In building a lasting relationship with one another, time and interest for the other person must be acknowledged with outmost priority as this gives the other person in which you have a relationship with the feeling of being important and creates the avenue for a better understanding.

We all know that having a good relationship with one another places you on a level people see you as a model or an idol. This is a call for us to try to understand what and who we are in a relationship.

From the analysis given above, it will be seen that there are so many other ways people will see a relationship workout. Use the comment box to make your views known.
