10 Commandments of Being in a Relationship in Grand Junction
Being in a relationship will show you both what you what your fundamentals are. Food, freshness, and appreciation are all necessities for me.
Everyone has things they need in a relationship and the longer you're together, the more you figure it out. After almost two years of being in a relationship, I think we can both agree on these ten commandments.
- 1
Thou Shalt Share Your Food, Forever
The days of having your own food are over. When you're in a relationship it means sharing your food forever. (Or however long you can stand to share for.)
- 2
Thou Shalt Encourage Each Other
Your partner is basically your hype man. They should definitely encourage you and tell you to keep up the amazingness.
- 3
Thou Shalt Let Your Partner Sleep In
Sleeping is a fundamental principle of life to me. As a partner, you've got to let your partner sleep in sometimes. Trust me, you don't want to be around me if I don't get enough sleep.
- 4
Thou Shall Be a Team Together
You and your partner will take on the world together. A relationship is like being on a team, you always got the other player's back.
- 5
Thou Shalt Both Contribute
Being in a relationship isn't one-sided. Two people mean twice the contributions. Whether that's money, doing work around the house, etc.
- 6
Thou Shall Keep It Fresh
Keeping it fresh in a relationship is important. It can be easy to get caught up in a routine, but it's important to break it every now and then and change it up.
- 7
Thou Shalt Have Hobbies Together
It's nice to bond with your partner. Having things you both enjoy doing makes it fun and brings you closer. A round of Call of Duty, anyone?
- 8
Thou Shalt Share, Listen, Repeat
Communication is key in a relationship. It's important to communicate and listen to each other. I'd recommend you share, listen, and repeat.
- 9
Thou Shalt Show Appreciation
It's important to show you appreciate your partner. As your partner, they need to know they're appreciated and loved. A little appreciation goes a long way.
- 10
Thou Shalt Give More Than Half
Sometimes it's not always 50/50 in a relationship. In a time of need, you give more than half to help your team out.
