Relationships! What a wonderful thing they are, aren’t they? This weeks chapter on relationships has me thinking of my very own. My honey and I are working on 8 years together, and it couldn’t have been made possible without communication, dependability and faith.
Many find it easy to build a relationship, whether for business, or pleasure. Some find them difficult, or find no further value beyond face value. They look for something platonic and nothing more, or sometimes the opposite. The chapter highlights these things, noting the variety one can find in a relationship; Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love best displaying this. At times there are moments of pure passion and others of lust, some with no real desire for commitment and some with a good mix of all 3!
It is important to keep in mind, however, while relationships can be great, sexual or not, that some times things can take a turn for the worst. I can’t emphasize how important communication is for a relationship, because time and time again, that is what it all comes down to. Making sure you’re not feeling belittled or stifled in any way is imperative. A healthy relationship allows for growth and mutual understanding, and when you have all the right components together, there’s nothing that can stop you.
Since before I started this course I was looking to embark on my fit journey, and it has been full supporters from the beginning. My boyfriend has taken it a step further, and has joined me as well- making eating out decisions easier and weekly gym dates a thing now! This week him and I were able to successfully meal prep together, and be happy with the results of our foods. My best friend has been a huge gym motivator for me as well, and has gotten me out of bed to hit the gym early mornings, helping me create a new daily routine in the process.
