I’m writing once again to seek more advice. I’m really enjoying this forum! Everyone seems to be respectful and astute in life’s experiences =).
So recently I posted about my breakup. The whole ordeal was pretty rough for me, but I didn’t lose faith. We have decided to give our relationship a second chance and promised to put more effort to make it work. All along I knew that we would find our way back to each other, and I’m glad that my feelings about him weren’t wrong.
That said, I still have qualms about us. There was a huge lack of communication pre-breakup. Post-breakup we discussed and expressed a lot of things (family, values, religion, money, etc) that matter to us. We learned a lot about each other, and learned that we ultimately didn’t communicate enough. We promised not to be lazy around each other, and that we won’t allow the relationship to become stagnant again. We are both loyal and caring people, and we’re very happy together.
My question to you all is: how does your loved one inspire you? How do you bring out the best in each other? Are you a better person when he or she is around you? In what ways?

When people truly love one another, they bring out the best in one another.
They also make each other feel accepted for who they are while still inspiring each other to be the best they can personally be at all they do.
Your lover doesn't "make" you do anything (no controlling attitudes in real love), but you want to make yourself do things you might never have dreamed of doing because they believe in you
I think it takes alot of hard work, on both sides to maintain a good, healthy relationship.
Trust, honesty, patience, understanding, desire, able to pick up the others slack, when they are having a bad day. Communication is definetly a biggie! Work on your hopes and dreams together, and try to keep an upbeat outlook on life in general, also the relationship.
