(#5510) Building a lasting relationship

     Okay, so I am new at this. That being said I am well aware that being alone like I have been is not going to remain the same. I am now thinking like a man who considers another in an equal and respectful way. I am somewhat used to that anyway in that I generally try to treat everyone equally with respect. But this is more personal. I am now closing in on a happily desired contract that in principle joins two of us in one goal, to keep and hold each other through all things we do. Knowing this as the priority helps me to navigate all the moments that follow.
     I know it won't be that easy but for the most part it will be. There are going to come times where our lifestyles and inculcations will clash and I fully expect that clash to be significant but I also believe we will be able to resolve any uncertainty or difference with compromise and understanding. The idea here for me is that we are about to embark upon a relationship that will form a new way of living for both of us. I am ready for that although I may balk at times for a moment I will always come back to a solution we both find comfortable enough.
     There is nothing about how we live our lives that is even remotely a game changer for me. I also suspect that the feeling is mutual so both of us are starting from a place that has a tremendous chance to be wonderful for both of us. We both are so like minded to start with and that is the threaded foundation of our relationship. We have both gotten to this like minded place through our own individual experiences and caring outlook. So now the rest that we are going to build upon that foundation is found in our staying in the moment and appreciating each other with love and respect. It is not easy learning how to make a relationship a beautiful thing but with both of us being a bit wiser and mature we have a greater chance of succeeding because our relationship is built upon much more than the love we have for each other.
