Truth is that Relationships and courtships are not easy.

They are full of ups and downs, you and your partner can be happy and enjoying each other’s company one minute and the next minute you can be angry and upset with eachother

#RelationshipTalk

That’s just the nature of relationships

Whenever two different people who have had different upbringings & life experiences along with the natural differences we have as men & women try to function as one unit, there are bound to be problems and challenges

#RelationshipTalk

If you have been in your courtship or relationship for a while now, you will have began to notice that it’s not all a bed of roses.

There are obstacles and challenges that you will face and are probably facing right now in your courtship

#RelationshipTalk

The first thing I want to say is that you should celebrate these challenges because they come to test your relationship to see if you really have something genuine and strong

#RelationshipTalk

If your courtship is able to stand and be strong despite all the challenges you face, it is a good sign that you have something solid

#RelationshipTalk

If the challenges drive the two of you apart then it means that your relationship probably isn’t strong enough and it’s better for the courtship to break up than for your marriage to break up

Trust Me

#RelationshipTalk

All too often Singles put up so much front and facade in the courtship and don’t allow the person they are dating to see the real them.

This is very wrong and unhealthy

You have to come to a place in your relationship where you can be yourself, where your partner gets to see not only your strengths but also your weaknesses...

#RelationshipTalk

... this is important because whoever you are going to marry needs to be able to accept you with your flaws

#RelationshipTalk

Don’t ever get married to someone when you haven’t shown them who you really are and when you haven’t seen the real them, and what they are like when they get angry and upset

NEVER! Rowland said so

#RelationshipTalk

If you have never had disagreements, misunderstandings & challenges in your courtship, that could be a very bad sign

It might mean that you are both sweeping the things that offend & annoy you under the carpet in the attempt to avoid confrontations

#RelationshipTalk

It means that you are not being honest with eachother about how you truly feel about certain things & the day will eventually come when you can’t pretend anymore, where everything you’ve been holding in explodes.

That wouldn’t be nice. Trust me

#RelationshipTalk

There is no courtship/relationship that doesn’t experience one challenge or the other, even the happiest of couples have areas of differences

What keeps them happy is the fact that they are able to still love eachother unconditionally despite their differences

#RelationshipTalk

So don’t run just because you have areas of differences and misunderstandings

Learn to communicate and strive to overcome the challenges and obstacles you face in your courtship

#RelationshipTalk

... and if you are able to overcome these challenges then it means you have a solid

#RelationshipTalk

From my personal experience, experiences of people I have discussed with, and from research; I have been able to draw out 3 major challenges Singles face in relationships:

1. Abstaining From Sex

2. Misunderstandings

3. Trust

#RelationshipTalk
