Finding a suitable life partner is challenging enough, but keeping them is even more difficult. A ideal relationship is a journey, not a destination; it demands both parties to give their all every day. Of course, it will never be simple, but if both people handle to maintain a few commitments, it will undoubtedly be an enjoyable experience! 

Saurabh Goswami, the founder and director of Ultra Rich Weddings Ltd., explains some of the promises you may make to your loved one:

 

1. Promise to Respect and Honour It is important that you never forget that respect is the foundation of any relationship. Even when in disagreement, the boundary of individual honour and self-respect can never be crossed.

2. Promise to Keep the Past in the Past You both have lived your lives, traveled your own journeys till now. You've both must have made some mistakes and might have taken some regrettable decisions. But it is of utmost importance to always keep in mind that the past is past. Bringing up past mistakes as a means to win a present fight will only create dents in your relationship.

3. Promise to Support Every individual requires support from their peers, especially their special someone. It could be emotional, physical, or even spiritual at times. Make sure that your partner knows that you are there for them in their hard times. Saurabh Goswami recalls an incident where a client of his went to meet his fiancé when he was feeling low down because of a business loss. The client shared that his fiancé was so supportive when he himself was feeling morose. She just stayed with him for almost 2 hours, holding his hands, without talking. That was when he knew that he had found his perfect partner!

4. Promise to Give Them Space In any relationship, it is important to understand that you both are two different individuals. You both may have different lifestyles, hobbies, likes, and dislikes. Just because you are in a relationship should not mean that you have to forgo being your own person. Give your partner space to pursue their hobbies and go out with their set of friends without feeling guilty.

5. Promise to Not Get Jealous In continuation of the above point, your partner may have their own set of friends, some closer than others. It is paramount that you respect their choice and friendships without giving them a third degree every time they get off their phone call or are getting ready to go out. Saurabh Goswami shares that he has seen many promising relations break because of small misguided jealousies.

6. Promise to Take Interest in Their Interests Though this point might seem in conflict with the previous, both apply to different circumstances. When you are a couple, you have to make sure that you share some hobbies or routines as your 'us-time'. It could be watching a serial together every day, your morning walks, gardening together, or even making breakfast together. But you have to put in efforts to be together at least some time of the day where you just enjoy each other without bothering about anything else.

7. Promise to Forgive This one promise trumps for all and sundry. Maybe your partner had a bad day and took it out on you. Or maybe they forgot your anniversary. As per Saurabh Goswami, do make your dissatisfaction known to them, but keep your mind open to their circumstances also. A heart-to-heart talk about your problems will help you in forgiving and moving on.

In conclusion, relationships require constant effort, understanding, and compromise from both partners. By making and keeping these promises, you can strengthen the foundation of your relationship and pave the way for a lifetime of love and happiness.
