What makes your relationship strong ?

Lifestyle Relationships
1

or what motivates you to give all that you have to the relationships that matter the most to you in life.

Though it might sound a bit weird, but following is the way I motivate myself to not lose any opportunity of sharing love and sincerity with my beloved ones.

How desperate I would be for another chance to serve my beloved one, if I am siting in front of his/her grave and someone asks me “Tell me what your loved one was really like ?”

this is a very nice thread mA. i'd like to hear some responses as well.

Salaam....I dont know.... but i think after somebody has put across this question, we have to stive to make everyday special for ourselves and for others cause who know what happens the next moment.... so i think... showing care, compassion.. having a strong hold on temper and understanding... humility and happiness....
thats all we all need...:)

my husband always tells me when i don't expect it, that he couldn't live without me and I am his second arm. I think he values the 'sahara' I give him 24/7, even if i am a moody so and so at times!

There are no pheromones involved in the bond which exists between parents and their kids, there are no pheromones involved in the bond which exists between siblings.
Allah has created so many invisible bonds those are the bonds which compel us to go all out in making lives of our loved ones comfortable at the expense of our own misery in many cases.

There are many kinds of relationships when it comes to humans, parental , conjugal, tribal, religious , cultural , proximal , linguistic etc etc.

^ You're right. :) I didnt think of that...you just automatically assume relationship means that of a romantic kind.

What makes my relationship with my parents and siblings strong is honesty and respect.

For my parents -----just thinking of everything they have done for me and sacrificed for me, makes me realize that everything I do pales in comparison and makes me want to just do more and more, out of love and appreciation to do. May Allah always bless them and keep them happy, ameen!
For others ---hubby, siblings, family, friends etc ---- just doing good for them and seeing them happy, thats motivation for me. And even if sometimes you feel others do not appreciate something you do, you still know that Allah will reward you for it, so thats the ultimate motivation in every good thing

Respect. Benefit of doubt. Tolerance. Space. Unconditional care.
It's 100% from both spouses.

With family, pretty much the same rules.

With kids, the right balance of love and discipline. Unconditional.

^ Well said.

In the past couple of years the tough times we have gone through together, by the grace and mercy of Allah (swt). I don't think the times we enjoyed together strengthened our bond and much as the difficult times we went through together.

Yes!! It is the tough times that makes you grow stronger together…he always tells me that he loves me so much because I was the only person who was there for him when he lost everything…So it is trust, loyalty, faith and unconditional love and care that has kept us together so far…and the trying times are still not over.

My parents : I am not sure…we have always been in 3 different parts of the world..so I guess it is jst that bond of being parent and child that kept us going.
