Longterm relationships require patience from "summary" of The Long Game by Elena Armas
Longterm relationships are not a sprint; they are a marathon. They require a level of patience that goes beyond what we may be used to in our fast-paced world. Patience is not just about waiting for things to happen; it's about understanding that relationships take time to grow and evolve. It's about accepting that there will be ups and downs, and that not everything will go according to plan. In the early stages of a relationship, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and passion. We may want things to move quickly, to reach that level of comfort and security that we crave. But true longterm relationships are built on a foundation of patience. It's about being willing to take things slow, to let the relationship develop naturally over time. Patience also means being able to weather the storms that inevitably come in any relationship. There will be disagreements, misunderstandings, and challenges along the way. It's during these times that patience is truly tested. It's about being able to communicate openly and honestly, to work through issues together rather than giving up at the first sign of trouble. Another aspect of patience in a longterm relationship is understanding that people change and grow over time. We are not the same person we were at the beginning of a relationship, and neither is our partner. It's about being able to adapt to these changes, to support each other through the ups and downs of life.- Patience in a longterm relationship is about commitment. It's about being willing to put in the time and effort to make the relationship work, even when things get tough. It's about understanding that true love is not always easy, but it is worth fighting for. So, if we want our relationships to last, we must be willing to cultivate and nurture the patience needed to see them through.
