Building Relationships Beyond Intimacy.

There are different kinds of relationships we have with people. Sometimes some relationships are just meant to be just friendship, and till life, they will end as friends. But sometimes some relationships evolve, and you take them to another stage. But one thing that baffles me is that some of these relationships that start as friends can also go to another length depending on how we see things and what we see the other people to be. Most of the time when we want to get into a relationship that will end in marriage, we are told to always make sure that we are close to the person we want to get married to so that we will know what they want and what they do not want.

But sometimes the reverse is the case, and most people do not care about whether they know much about their partners or not, and the only thing they want to know is just to get close and intimate with them. From what I have come to realize, intimacy has its own role to play when you are in a relationship, and it also drives a home, but must a marriage be built on getting intimacy always? Well, I might not have learned so much about this, but we do hear those that have gone through this stage, and they have shared their experiences with us.

While I was still young, my mother would always tell me that I should be careful before trusting a lady to get married because, in some cases, a male or a female can be deceitful depending on what they want from you, and some people might just make it a transactional thing. To some people, they believe that when they get intimate with you, then you will start to like them, have something serious with them, and to some they do not believe in that. But they believe that things work naturally, and it can occur either from one end before the other.

This has always been on my left hand, and I have always kept it with me because I know that one day will come, and I will need these things. Then I can easily fall back on them to check which of these will drive me and make me the kind of person I want to be. The advice we get from the elderly one daily sometimes helps because most of them might not have a great impact immediately, but with time, they will come to manifestation, and we will appreciate them.

Everything they tell us, be it about life in general or about getting the right partner, most of these things work, but the timing differs. Some of it happens immediately while some take time to come to manifestation. Keeping all of these pep talks they give to us will do us a big help because life is good when you get to listen and learn from those who have had experience with things you want to do, and you have them around you to guide you.
