To nurture relationships you have to take care of them as you would a delicate flower for they are very delicate. If the flowers of your garden are not watered regularly and taken good care they will wither and die one day.

People just do not bother to take care of their relationships and only when their relationships break up, do they try to find out some solution, they should know that relationships are like flowers and once they are dead, they just cannot be revived.

You might be able to establish a friendship with your partner, but the flame of relationship will never be regained. Before you ask why relationships break up, have you ever thought what keeps a relationship alive? Once you have been able to answer this question, there will be no occasion for the relationship to break.

A stitch in time saves nine, this is so true when it comes to relationship. It takes a long time to keep up the relationship and those who are lucky enough to keep their relationships do know the value it holds for both of them.

There are some people who just think that offering lots of gift to their girlfriend or having sex with her is what relationship is all about. They are far away from the real answer, because this is not what relationship is all about.

True relationship means sacrificing a lot and giving till it hurts, and it is not about giving money, why not wake up a bit earlier on a Sunday and prepare the breakfast for her, cleaning the kitchen too to ensure that she does not have to do it.

What about taking her to a surprise dinner? It might even be small things and sacrificing your favorite ball game just to spend some extra moments with her. These things might sound simple, but they are tough to implement. Ladies love being pampered and more so, if the pampering is genuine and it comes straight from the heart.

Have you considered altering one of the parts on your own? If she is willing to meet you half way, then you must also meet her half way. There is no secret to keeping a relationship healthy so try this and watch her eyes light up.

On the other hand, some people can do it, and that's a main contributing factor for why relationships break up - even when both people in the relationship known things are going sour - instead of trusting each other, they trust their own ego and hope the other person will change.
