I've been asked by more than one woman for my advice on what the idea relationship should look like and I thought to myself that this would be a good thing to write about. Many women find themselves "trapped" in relationships that are far from what they think is ideal and I think that many can really benefit from exploring this topic. We all have ideal images in our minds and in our hearts of what the best relationship should be like, and many times this is just not what we end up getting into.
So, what is my take on the ideal relationship?
Well, for starters, I'd like to point out that what is ideal for one person is not exactly the same as it is for another. That being said, there certainly are some things that I would think are pretty universal in what a woman really desires from her relationships and those are the things that I would like to really touch on.
One main component that I would say that should be a given is respect. Without respect in a relationship, a person can begin to feel worthless and that is never a good thing. In fact, I think that if there is a serious lack of respect in any situation, then you should really start thinking about why you are in that place anyway.
Another main component that I would say should be a given is enjoyment. When two people really enjoy each others company, it is priceless. And when two people are together but they find that they really do not like being together all that much, I think that this is a clear sign that something is wrong and either they need to give that relationship some much needed attention or it should come to an end.
Thirdly, I also like to believe that in any relationship that is going to be described as ideal, then there has to be sexual satisfaction for both people involved. It's nice to have a relationship that is friendly and enjoyable, but it is much nicer when you have those things plus you have a healthy sex life. This is another area that I believe that women cannot and should not short change themselves in.
The most ideal relationship of course is one that brings you a feeling of joy and happiness.
It may not include all of the same qualities for one woman that it does for another, but as long as you are feeling joyful and happy and satisfied and respected... then you are in what I would consider to be an ideal relationship.
