Starting and entering into a relationship is easier than maintaing and sustaining a relationship. We can at anytime, at anywhere with anyone start a relationship. But in maintainig and sustaining a relationship will required both parties long term time, efforts and loyalty. Same case with other things. Being the winner in Olympics, being the top artist in Hong Kong, achieving $1 million.....all of these things is easy to achive. But to maintain the quality, to achive it every year, every month, every week and to sustain at the top 1st place is very tough. -rockon
well i'm afraid i have to disagree with u there. to be a winner in the first place is hard as well as maintaining the quality.
i agree with u artemis because its easy to start a relationship cuz then its all good n fun... but after a while when its not new n exciting anymore u will have to c if ur really compatible or not
definitely hard to maintain a relationship but if you both trust each other, communicate, respect and have time for each other then it shouldnt be as hard... at the end of the day if you think it wont last then there really isnt a point of starting a relationship
What about conflicts? isn't it that resolving Conflicts in relationships is tougher than getting number 1 in sports, competition and other things?
I have to disagree. I find it's harder to start a relationship and easier to maintain if ya'll truly love one another. Harder because there are usually mental barriers to go through Easier because if ya'll love one another, sure you wouldn't feel tired of one another. The only time when you feel irritated and annoyed by your gf/bf all the time is when the spark are gone and you no longer "love" that person anymore. This is different from the regular nagging and stuffs like that but towards the idea of not yearning to be close to one another or appreciate each other company anymore.
i tootally agreee like i cant start a relationship with amost any but its hard to keep for a long time.....
I kind of thinking...starting a relationship is easy, true. But finding a person to love is easy, but for that same person to love back, it is hard. Once pass this step, maintaining and sustaining the relationship won't be as complicate as it seems if the person (guys/ladies) cares about each other...
random play is of course easy to accomplish.... finding someone willing to play with you for years is hard to come by...
Erm.....so if lets say a couple doesn't have any more feelings towards each other. Should They find ways to revive back the feelings before calling a break up? Have you see a lot of cases that when a couple or one of the side have no more feelings, they would just called for a break up without even trying ONCE to revive back the feelings?
^ u can try but if like u said the feelings are gone their gone forever i think its one thing to have issues n have constant fights n another thing to not have feelings for eachother anymore i reckon
^ yeah .. once the feeling is gone .. it's gone .. for marriage couple, when the sparks are gone, what's left are responsibilities and obligations .. nothing more. it's hard to revive something like that. our love, life perception, and need change as we age so yeah...
Most of what you're saying I agree... except the "being winner of the Olympics"-part... I'm sure you havent ever won an Olympic medal... even if you reallllly want it.
It's almost like working out at the gym, once u have all the muscle, your body needs to keep using it to maintain the muscle =) its hardwork.
I also disagree with the Olympic part. It is hard to become a gymnast at the first place. Not only you need a good physical body, but also time. Even if you can become one, you need to be unique and stand out from others in order for your coach to let you perform in the Olympic. On top of that, if you do have a chance to peform in the Olympic, it is even harder for you to get a medal because you are competing with other who have their own unique abilities. Anyway, back to the relationship. I just started the relationship with my girlfriend about a year ago and I cannot really say anything deeper on how to maintain a long term relationship. For my opinion, I think it is just a matter of communication. I want to know what my girlfriend thinks about something and I am sure she also want how I think about it. Communication is the basis for knowing if your girlfriend is happy or not. I think talking to each other helps in maintaining long-term relationships.
It's true.. but you have to work hard to maintain that certain something. Working hard can result in great achievements! =)
I agree also, your interpretation is very well described. YOu must work twice as hard to maintain it, rather then achieving at first.
