All right! So, you have begun to look ahead. Good for you! But are asking yourself some questions like, “What can I do in this next relationship so it won’t end like the last one?”
Let’s cover some widely accepted rules for relationships that have shown success through the ages, shall we? Chime in please with your comments and questions and suggestions.

Practice Patience and Give Acceptance.
Ok, reality time here. If your here at dudesndivorce.com you’ve either been through a divorce, going through a divorce now, or are thinking about it. Whichever category you find yourself in, you’ve come to the realization that your spouse isn’t or wasn’t perfect! (NewsFlash: You aren’t either!)
Odds are you next love interest won’t be perfect either. (And more than likely you still won’t be either! Ouch!) So you simply going to have to deal with it. Studies and interviews of couples that have been able to maintain long marriages show that patience and acceptance are two vital keys to success. Yes, your new partner will likely do some little things that irritate you but it is just as likely that you will do some little things that irritate her! Remember the old Golden Rule, “Treat Others as You Would Have Them Treat You”? If she expresses frustration at one of your peculiarities you would ask for her patience and understanding, wouldn’t you? Then, by the same token, should you not extend that same patience and understanding to her when she does something that irritates you? Give the patience and understanding you want in return.
As one elderly married couple once said, “Marriage is a bed of roses, thorns and all!”
See ya later!
