salience in a relationship

normally, we do not care about these things.

the responsibility, in the relationship - of consistently amazing each other with what knowledge one has, the way one does normal every day things - walking, reading, driving, handling multiple things happening all at the same time, working around the house, working, exercising, cooking, talking over the ph, resting, decorating, listening, convincing, taking on the world, even manner of worrying, dealing with a negative event in life, small or big challenges of life, praying for all to be well, & looking at each other.

a person who is or will be with you, for so long everyday (when married) - will see everything about you. she/he will see the salient aspects, that when given attention by you, will improve them & be a source of motivation for your spouse.

it will be easier, if it was all already a part of one’s personality.
seeing some one grow into it, will be a land mark attainment as well, in the presence of the other spouse, & with their help. it will be aim-directed to see a positive change in each other - to fulfill each other’s spaces with substance of personal contentment, a zest for life, and a zeal to live it well, together :>.

does that make sense?

Re: salience in a relationship

I don't agree. You are attributing happiness to changing the other person into a form you want to see him/her in. To me, the charm of a relationship is not in the similarities between you and the other person but in the differences.

Your POV is a bit narrow-minded. You already have a strong notion how a relationship should be. Other people may not necessarily agree with your POV. I think, putting too much emphasis on harmony, agreement, mutual understanding will lead to unhappiness in a relationship.

Re: salience in a relationship

thanks witch dr. i understand this. u are right. from a social point of view, it is true.

Re: salience in a relationship

so people looking for harmony, agreement and mutual understanding should not look for marriage?
friendship is just it, don't spoil it with lower feelings (lust):D

Re: salience in a relationship

Why are you labelling lust as a lower feeling?

Re: salience in a relationship


because it fuels, anger, jealousy...and turn members of the opposite sex of enemies, instead of friends:D

Re: salience in a relationship

It does make sense Dushwari. :)
And i agree with the way you've analyzed the whole deal and all. But the thing is, we're all humans, and these days a whole lot "impulsive". We cannot be programmed or anything. But its good to have a certain approach to life and all that goes with it.

:D

Re: salience in a relationship

Doesn’t love do the same? :halo:

Re: salience in a relationship

No Charm in living in constant conflict, it only helps keep the witch Doctors employed...........too much harmony leads to unhapiness, .totally not true.

Re: salience in a relationship

Why do you have to spill the beans?? :mad:

I am not saying too much harmony leads to unhappiness. I am saying too much emphasis on these things lead to unhappiness. You are saying there is no charm in living in constant conflict; What I mean is that most conflicts are just difference of opinions. No need to make every difference of opinion in to a conflict.
