What is the best love advice? Love wisdom grows when we pause to look closely at our own relationships. Below, we'll pose a series of simple key questions and hopefully, the answers will prove very revealing!

Love Tips & Essential Questions

Do you love your relationship partner, and do they love you?

A silly question? Surprising as it is, many people are uncertain, confused or have insecurities about this very basic issue. If you can't answer "Yes," simply and truthfully, without having to think about it too much, your relationship needs attention!  

Do you or your partner tend to be "egotistical?" 

Egotism - a tendency towards self-importance, absorbtion in one's own ideas, always being "right," being disdainful, "superior," is deadly poison to any loving relationship.

Although such relationships may endure because one partner is willing to be a hero worshipper or doormat, egotism devalues, abuses, takes for granted, and simply doesn't care enough about the other person. 

If you or your partner do this, start seriously observing the sad, ugly dramas and effects it creates. People who really love their partners act like they do - indulging egotism is a childish, unworthy way to waste precious time together. 

Do you and your partner listen to one another?  

The ultimate piece of love relationship advice? Love tips and techniques seldom top this one: LISTEN to your partner. If you love them, their feelings or concerns will matter to you. Don't rubbish or trivialize them, be coldly "logical," or jump in with an opinion; sometimes they may just need an ear - not a 12 step program.

Be attentive and open to the way things are for them. When they've spoken, maybe you'll discuss it, figure it out. If there's something practical you can do to improve matters, do it. A simple hug goes a long, long way.

Can you and your partner express yourselves?  

Partners should feel comfortable about expressing their thoughts and feelings - providing there is no serious reason not to (like being shot on the spot, for example).
We shouldn't have to walk in fear of being ridiculed or "shot down" for expressing ourselves and we shouldn't shoot ourselves down by thinking that our own feelings are not worthy of expression.

If both partners adopt the motto "talk to me, I'm listening; your thioughts matter to me," great things will open up.

Are you or your partner rather judgmental or full of expectations? 

While it is fair to expect certain baseline standards in a relationship - to make things like an obvious lack of love and respect, emotional or physical violence a "dealbreaker," the more we tend to judge, condemn, righteously expect or demand, the less we really understand and actively love our partners.

We become disappointed or indignant, rather than seeking the best for everyone involved. Not everyone can fit the roles we might like to assign to them. If we allow that people may have different thoughts, needs or challenges to ourselves, our "relationships IQ" will rise dramatically.

Do you and your partner have some "shared visions," or common areas of enjoyment? 

Although it's healthy for relationship partners to have their own interests, there should be a significant area where they "want the same things," look forward to certain experiences together, and are coordinating their efforts in various life plans. Generally, such plans won't merely be "wouldn't it be nice ifs" - there will be visible, practical forward motion.

If there is scant "looking forwards together," little that you share in the way of ideas, interests or pastimes, then the relationship starts to lack "togetherness" and perhaps, convincing reasons to continue.

If this applies to your relationship, look into it now. Why are you together? Do you steadily love and truly feel that you want to go forward with this person, sharing experiences, adventures, a way of life?

These are vital questions: the answers lie in considering them sincerely together to find out where the best truth lies.

Good luck! We hope that Love Relationship Advice - Love Tips And Truths has been useful. "Love Tips" types of articles can be rather hit and miss - we hope this helped!
