To sustain a healthy relationship with my dear.

In my new year resolution, I did mentioned that I want to sustain a healthy relationship with my dear. So, I asked myself how is the relationship going and am I doing enough to build a good relationship. Yes, dear mentioned that I don't say "I love you" as often compare to the past. Yes, there is some arguments. In my opinion, a relationship is always prone to argument. It's how well both parties sort it out amicably and end of the day these are sorts of pointers that strengthen a relationship.

Constructive feedback is good. Consultative discussion is good. Analytical thoughts and sharing is good. Decision maker is good. Indecisiveness could create stress. Flexibility is a virtue... I am listing the different behavioural and styles. From this, it could mean different pattern of human when facing with similar situation.

An ANALYTICAL person like me might take longer time to analyse and is data driven. This means indecisiveness. It could also mean more careful when facing with situations. Also I have the NEUTRAL type of character whereby I am a  good listener, patience and like to live in harmony.

Where as my dear is also ANALYTICAL and data driven. Basically, this means always cautious, be able to work alone and like to be precise. I felt that she also has a bit of DECISIVE traits.

By understanding this behavioural model, we can work out ways to understand each other and using different approaches when face with certain situation.

For example, an analytical person is always cautious and not willing to take risk. Well, perhaps we can change abit by accepting some calculated risk and accepting the fact that not all is perfect.

Well, I need to refer to the notes that kind of explain this Leonard Personality Inventory.

Let me explore more on this and what is important is I am willing to step to other people shoes and understand the situation. Equally important is effective communication. Also, not too sensitive on certain things. I just don't understand why I am so agitated sometimes. Maybe my subconscious mind is too negative that don't accept criticism.

I hope this will help me to build a healthy and sustainable relation with my dear. Off course this takes time and Rome is not build overnight.
