People can't always be concerned with themselves, thats the opposite of love. Honesty is required in a relationship too, holding the truth can do nothing but harm. THANKS!!! everyone should consider this blog! :) I totally agree, this is wonderful. especially “Give and expect nothing” Thats what Love is.

I have also something to share... as for my personal point of view... I am indeed a transparent type of an individual.. What you see in me is absolutely what you get. I can be real even to a complete stranger. I don't easily judge a person as quick as my first impression towards them. I give time for both of us to know better. At times it is ironic that the person you hate the most when you first met, would be the one you can hold for a lifetime. I believe that being a good and true friend does not always mean you agree and give praises to a friend when you know that there is something to be corrected and commented on. Do this in a polite and gentle manner that the person you're talking to won't be offended at all. Great article!!!

It always helps to hear about first hand experiences. It is important to remember that everyone is different; what works for one person or couple may not work for another. So it is always worth giving anything a try, especially anything that comes from experience. Doug www.dougwoods.com Todd,

Writing a journal entry from the other person's point of view is difficult because you will tend to write as you would wish them to see things rather than as they themselves really see them. This is a big step toward empathy and ampathy can be really important in a relationship. Empathy is not just seeing things as if you were the other person; it is seeing things as the other person sees them (think about it!) Sleeping on things can also be dificult, especially if you have still unresolved issues going around in your mind! A great post and one which I am sure many couples will benefit from.
