Are you currently in a relationship? Just found a new love? Exclusively dating with someone? Well then, things are suppose to be doing good. But at times people tend to lose focus and forget the true reason why they are in a relationship or why they are dating. For some it is a need to be taken care by someone, for someone to love them in return. Others go in a relationship because they think it's high time indulge in one and then some would go into a relationship because of power or physical attraction.

Well there are certainly a lot of reasons why people commit themselves, but sometimes it makes you wonder if the root of the relationship is based on love. Yes the most common term for a person to be committed is love. It would be hard to recognize love at first, for in our world today people commit in a relationship because they have a need for the person and not because of love.

How do you know if you're in love? A frequently asked question from young people, but until now it would still be hard to explain. Like all relationship it is a give and take, which is what they call logical love. But loving without waiting for anything in return is unconditional. Holding on to a relationship is the tricky part especially if your just starting, you'll need to set rules to prevent the other person from getting hurt.

Being in a relationship has pros and cons; there would be times wherein everything you do with your partner becomes a habit. This is to be expected if you spend almost everyday with each other. The risk is that you tend to lose the feeling; the trick would be try something out of the ordinary, try something that you haven't done yet. Another problem would be you tend to forget your friends because you spend most of your time with your partner, it is still important to keep thing balance.

The best thing about being in love is that you're inspired all the time; you tend to be happy most of the time that people would see you glowing. Plus you have someone that would stick with you through thick and thin. There are numerous ways to be in love but to stay in love needs work. You can start by doing something special or unexpected for the person you love or doing simple things or sweet nothings are one ways to prevent your partner from thinking that you taking him or her for granted, and most important is communication.

One of the major complications is that people change and it is up to both parties to work it up and survive through the changes, growing up together emotionally and mentally is the key to a successful bond. Being a hindrance to one party can result to a problem that would lead to break up. A relationship might take a lot of work but the success that comes with a harmonious relationship can result to a deep and long term commitment that can lead to marriage.
