15 Promises You Need to Make a Great Relationship

If you've found a person you can truly see yourself growing old with, you're going to need to make some promises to them. It's important that you keep these promises throughout your relationship in order to continue building a trustful and loving foundation throughout both of your lifetimes. Among others, the following vows are meant to show just how much you care for your significant other, and how dedicated you are to your relationship.

1. I promise to listen
Relationship are built around communication, and communication is a two-way street. If you want your voice to be heard, you must also be sure to listen to what your mate has to say. Be open minded, and try to see things from their perspective. Doing so will open the door to true understanding.

2. I promise to learn
Relationship are hard work, especially if you've never been in a serious one before. There is a lot to learn about how to treat a person you love, how to live with them, and how to grow together. You'll make mistakes along the way, but as long as you learn from them together , your relationship will continue to flourish.

3. I promise to let you be you
Just because you're in relationship doesn't mean you have to change who you are. And neither does your significant other.  Don't try to change them into the person you wish they were. You wouldn't be in love with them if they were different. Let them continue on their path, and stick by their side at all times.

4. I promise to let you grow
As each person in a relationship is still an individual, you should both free to grow as people, too. Don't hold the person you love back from following their dreams. Know that they want to grow in order to better support you, and have faith that their hard work and long work days will eventually pay off for your family.

5. I promise to live for us
Remember, you've now living for a new family, not just yourself. You shouldn't to make major decisions without consulting your significant other–but that's not a bad thing. Discuss your wants, needs, hopes, and dreams together, and build your relationship upon a common ground.

6. I promise to find a time
No matter how hectic life gets, you should always find time to spend with the one you love. Don't get complacent in your relationship. Even after a long day of work, you should always want to take your mate out for ice cream or movie. Don't let time slip away; it's the one thing you can never get back.

7. I promise to work as a team
Mix up the chores. Do the food shopping. Wash both cars. Don't ever think of a task as "my job" or "my wife's job," "men's work" or "women's work". You're in this together; act like it.

8. I promise to save things for just us
After a while, some experiences just aren't the same without your significant other next to you. You'd never watch your favorite TV show without him or her, and they'd never go to your favorite restaurant without you. Some things are special because they're only meaningful when you're together.

9. I promise to care about your interests
When you love someone, you'll find yourself having fun at times tou thought you'd be bored aout of your mind. Buy tickets to a Broadway show, even if you would never go to one without her. Bring him to a football game, even if you don't understand the rules. You'll end up making memories that will last a lifetime.

10. I promise to show you off
Never get tired of making it clear to the world that you love this person. Hold their hand in public, and introduce the to new friends and coworkers as "my wife" or  "my husband" or "my fiance". Talk about them constantly, even when you know it's driving other people nuts. They're worth it.

11. I promise to keep trying to win you
Just because yoou've found "the one" doen't mean you can't lose them. Do something every day that surprise them or makes them feel worthwhile. Bring them flowers, clean the house, surprise them at work–anything at all to keep things fresh. By doing so, you'll be proving your worth as well.

12. I promise to never get into a routine
Like I said: keep things fresh. Add some spice to life. Try to do something new every week. Take a class together or go for a walk. Do a puzzle or play a game. Don't get into the habit of coming home, eating dinner, and just watching TV together. Make memories every single day.

13. I promise to always pick up the phone
Don't ever let a call from your significant other go to voice mail if you can help it. Sure, they always call on their lunch break or when they get out of work, but you never know if the next call you get will be an  emergency. Show them that they're your number one priority at all times.

14. I promise to love your family as my own
When you fall in love, you're not just adding one person to your circle of lovrd ones. You also add their entire family, and you should want to be a part of their circle as well. Learn their traditions, and visit them during the holidays. Be an aunt, uncle, big brother or big sister. And be true to them as you would your own flesh and blood.

15. I promise to keep you
Keep your significant other close. Keep them with you at all times. Keep them on your mind, and in your heart. Keep them from danger, and keep them from falling. Keep them in your life for as long as you both live.

Feminisme: Definisi dan Tipe

Hai! Kali ini aku ingin membahas sesuatu yang agak berat. Hmm tentang sebuah paham yang akhir-akhir ini sedang ramai diperbincangkan dan yang katanya isinya perempuan semua (masa sih?). Apa hayoo? Yup! Jawabannya adalah feminisme. Mungkin kalian pernah mendengar tentang paham ini atau mungkin kalian sama sekali gak tahu dan bertanya-tanya apa sih feminisme itu.

A belief that woman condition is  social constructed and therefore can be changed. 3. An emphasis on female autonomy. Singkatnya, feminisme adalah sebuah paham yang muncul ketika perempuan menuntut untuk mendapatkan kesetaraan hak (sosial, politik, dan ekonomi) yang sama dengan laki-laki . Selanjutn...

Kau mendapat surat dari seorang perempuan yang hatinya sudah hancur berkali-kali. Entah apa yang para lelaki sebelumnya perbuat hingga hatinya hancur berkeping-keping. Tapi, kau tak perlu tahu siapa saja mereka. Sudah lewat masanya, tak perlu diingat. Perempuan ini mudah jatuh cinta. Namun, entah apa yang terjadi, suatu hari ia bersumpah untuk berhenti sejenak mencintai laki-laki. Katanya, "Sudah cukup. Aku sudah muak!". Ia sibuk memperbaiki hatinya yang sudah hancur menjadi potongan-potongan kecil. Satu  demi satu ia rangkai potongan itu. Lalu, ia menempelkannya dengan lem yang kuat agar tak ada yang terpisah lagi. Kini hatinya tertutup rapat Tak ada satupun celah yang ia sisakan Tak ada yang bisa masuk Aku kira sumpahnya itu hanya main-main saja. Tapi ternyata, ia bersungguh-sungguh. Setiap kali ada laki-laki yang ingin mendekat dan tanpa pikir panjang, ia langsung menjauh seperti ujung utara dan selatan magnet. Jangan tanya rupa perempuan itu...
