Author Jay Hurt works as a salesman, but he has written a relationship book for single folk. He took his own life lessons in relationships and shares them in "The 9 Tenets of a Successful Relationship." He hopes his advice will help singles avoid making same mistakes he has. Here is an abbreviated list of five of the nine tenets he discusses in the book.
Tenet: Communicate clearly and effectively with your mate.
Understanding how we communicate with each other is crucial. Do not leave room for misinterpretation. The genders hear and speak things differently. Men have to read women's context clues. Women should recognize men tend to speak more literally.
Find Solutions for Enterprises, SMBs & Service Providers at the ITEXPO East, February 2-4, 2011 Miami Beach Convention Center, FL.Tenet: Don't do anything you wouldn't advise a friend to do.
Often we let our emotional attachment override the common sense we were blessed with. Separate the feeling of being needed as opposed to the feeling of truly being loved and appreciated. We know these things innately when we share our opinions with others.
Tenet: Show Appreciation Make an extra effort to appreciate each other.
Pay attention to your mate's wants more than just their needs. Be there "just because" often, not just on rare occasions.
Tenet: Decide if you can live with the flaws of your mate
No one is perfect, no matter how beautiful, charming, intelligent or classy they are. We have to be able to discern what works for us and what doesn't.
Tenet: Continue to date throughout the relationship Make it a point not to take each other for granted.
Relationships often fall into a routine, and we forget how important it is to continue to date each other. Don't stop salsa dancing, window shopping, walking and even something as simple as eating dinner together. Specify times and places to have dates with each other.
