Shootin' each other down! Talkin’ 2 much...no sound. We can't hear! So, the signal will never be clear! -“ I Don’t Even Know. (IDEK)” Married But THOTful-TSIR Vol 1
Communication In a Relationship:
Healthy Conversation Can’t Grow In Dead Silence.
Communication is the foundation of any relationship. Without it, there can be no meaningful connection or understanding between people. Healthy conversation requires both parties to be engaged and present at the moment. It’s important to actively listen and respond to what the other person is saying, rather than just waiting for your turn to speak. Being fully present in the conversation can help you connect with the other person on a deeper level and build a stronger bond.
Have Good, Bad, And Ugly Conversations.
A healthy conversation involves both positive and negative experiences. It’s important to share both the good and the bad with your partner. Celebrate their successes and be there for them when things aren’t going well. Don’t be afraid to have difficult conversations either. Conflict can be an opportunity for growth and understanding, as long as it’s handled with respect and openness. Having these types of conversations can help build trust and deepen your relationship.
Know Each Other’s Past, But Don’t Take Up Residence There.
Everyone has a past, and it’s important to understand and acknowledge the experiences that have shaped the people we are today. However, it’s equally important not to dwell on the past or hold it against someone. While it’s essential to recognize patterns and triggers that may be rooted in past experiences, it’s crucial to focus on the present and future. Learning from the past can help you navigate the present and plan for a better future together.
Know How Each Other Ticks.
People have different communication styles, and it’s essential to understand how your partner communicates. Some people may prefer direct communication, while others may need time to process their thoughts before responding. Being aware of each other’s communication styles can help avoid misunderstandings and create a more positive and productive conversation.
Be Each Other’s Best Friend.
A healthy conversation involves more than just words. It’s about building a strong and supportive relationship. Being each other’s best friend means being there for each other, supporting each other through difficult times, and celebrating each other’s successes. It means showing empathy, kindness, and understanding, even when it’s not easy. Being each other’s best friend can help create a deep and meaningful connection that will last a lifetime.
Be Honest With Each Other.
Honesty is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. It’s essential, to be honest with yourself and your partner. Being truthful about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can help create a more authentic and meaningful conversation. While honesty can be uncomfortable at times, it’s crucial for building trust and creating a strong and healthy bond.

This is 2 those women who want 2 be selfish. Your man will find someone who gives a fuck! -“ The Wood & Steel Theory” Married But THOTful-TSIR Vol 1
Personal Growth & Self-Care In Relationships:
Look The Part And Play The Part.
It’s important to present yourself in a way that reflects who you are and what you want in life. When you look and feel confident, it can have a positive impact on your relationship. It’s not just about physical appearance but also about having the right attitude and mindset. When you play the part, it means showing up as your authentic self, being honest and open, and making an effort to be a good partner.
Someone Can Always Steal Your Part Or Show.
In any relationship, there is always the risk that someone else might come along and steal your partner’s attention. It’s important to remember that this is a possibility, but it doesn’t mean it’s inevitable. By focusing on personal growth and self-care, you can build a strong foundation for your relationship that is based on trust, communication, and mutual respect.
Perfect Effort – Always Give Your Best Performance, And Don’t Get Complacent.
In any performance, whether it’s on stage or in a relationship, it’s important to give your best effort at all times. When you get complacent or take your partner for granted, it can lead to a decline in the relationship. By putting in the effort to make your partner feel valued and appreciated, you can strengthen your bond and create a more fulfilling relationship.
A Dull Show Or Relationship Gets Dull Reviews Or Results.
If a show or relationship becomes dull or uninspiring, it’s unlikely to get good reviews or results. It’s important to keep things fresh and exciting by trying new things and exploring different aspects of your relationship. This could mean trying a new hobby together, planning a surprise date night, or simply having a meaningful conversation. By keeping your relationship interesting and engaging, you can create a more satisfying and fulfilling experience.
It's hard 2 reach you at times. But you have the softest touch. That's how you grabbed my heart! We should practice amnesia... Bcuz right now, better memories can start! -“ I Don’t Even Know. (IDEK)” Married But THOTful-TSIR Vol 1
Forgiveness:
Practice Amnesia In A Relationship.
One of the most important things to remember when it comes to forgiveness is that it’s not enough to simply say that you forgive someone. You also need to practice amnesia – in other words, you need to let go of the past and not hold grudges. It’s important to forgive and forget so that you can move on with your relationship without any lingering negative feelings.
Don’t Dwell On The Past.
It’s easy to get caught up in the past and the mistakes that were made. However, dwelling on past hurts and mistakes can lead to bitterness and resentment, which can damage a relationship. Instead of dwelling on the past, focus on the present and the future. Focus on what you can do now to improve your relationship and make it stronger.
Forgive Later.
It’s important to remember that forgiveness is a process, and it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s okay to take some time to work through your emotions and come to a place of forgiveness. It’s also important to remember that forgiveness doesn’t mean that you forget what happened or that you condone the behavior. It simply means that you choose to let go of the negative feelings and move forward.

Humor & Peace In a Relationship:
Laugh Together And Pray Together.
Laughter is often called the best medicine, and for good reason. When we laugh together, we release endorphins that make us feel good and create a sense of connection with the people around us. Additionally, praying together can help to strengthen your spiritual bond and provide a sense of comfort and support. When you combine laughter and prayer, you create a powerful balance that can help you navigate both the good and the bad times.
Watch Comedies.
Watching comedies is a great way to bring more humor into your relationship. Whether it’s a classic sitcom or a modern comedy, there’s something about laughing together that can help to strengthen your bond and create a sense of shared joy. Additionally, when a couple shares their own inside jokes that only you know and enjoy with each other. This can deepen the connection and bond you have together and get you through rough patches.
So, make yourself the thrill of my hunt. A gazelle, so I'm like a lion 2 you! I'm not lyin' 2 you. I wish 2 be lying on you! But not alwayz the same way. Want your hair in a unique way. Nails done...make it fun! And I'll pursue you in a different way! -“The Chase” Married But THOTful-TSIR Vol 1
Spice Up Things In The Relationship:
Be Chased Or You’re Out Of The Race.
In any relationship, it’s important to maintain a sense of attraction and desire. One way to do this is by playing hard to get and letting your partner chase you. This doesn’t mean playing games or being manipulative, but rather maintaining your sense of independence and individuality.
Men Have Their Part To Play, Just Be Sure You Play Yours.
In any relationship, both partners need to be active participants. While it’s true that men often enjoy the chase, it’s also important for women to show interest and reciprocate their partner’s affection. By playing your part in the relationship, you can create a sense of balance and mutual respect.
Be The Thrill Of His Hunt Or He’ll Become Interested In Something Else.
Men enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and it’s important to keep things exciting and unpredictable to maintain their interest. Whether it’s surprising them with a weekend getaway or trying out a new hobby together, finding ways to keep things fresh and exciting can help to strengthen your bond and keep your partner interested.
Don’t Think You’re The Only One Your Partner Is Checking For (Don’t Be Naïve).
In any relationship, it’s important to be realistic about your partner’s attractions and interests. While it’s natural to want to be the center of your partner’s world, it’s also important to recognize that they may have other interests and attractions. By maintaining your sense of independence and individuality, you can create a more fulfilling and satisfying relationship.
Be Open To Trying New Things In The Bedroom (Morally).
Exploring new things and trying out new experiences can be a powerful way to spice things up in your relationship. Whether it’s trying a new restaurant, taking a dance class, or experimenting with new hobbies together, finding ways to try new things can help to create a sense of adventure and excitement.
Your Man Wants To Be Tempted (It’s Your Move).
Men enjoy the thrill of the chase and the sense of conquest. By being willing to tempt and tease your partner, you can create a sense of excitement and desire that can help to strengthen your bond and bring more passion into your relationship.
As I conclude this conversation, I urge you to take these tips and tricks to heart and apply them in your relationship with your man. Remember that a healthy and happy relationship takes effort and communication from both parties. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that everything is fine and putting your relationship on autopilot. Take charge and be proactive in nurturing your bond with your partner. By being mindful and honest with yourself and your man, you can build a strong foundation that will withstand the test of time. Together, you can grow in love, wealth, and happiness, but it takes two to make it work. So, don’t wait for him to assume the path you’re on, take his hand, and walk towards a bright future together.
