4 Keys to an Honest and Successful New Relationship
When you start a new relationship after a divorce, there are a few things that can start things off right
First dates are usually filled with light conversation. You talk about movies, music, books, TV, how many kids you have or what you do for a living. If you’re feeling daring, you might talk politics or religion. If you’re really feeling the connection, you might dive a little deeper and start talking about more personal things.
But there comes a point where you go from light and fluffy conversation to deeper talks. As you move beyond just trying to figure out if you like each other and into the stage of knowing you want something more with each other, there’s information that needs to be shared with your new partner.
Starting a new relationship can be difficult, as it takes a great deal of time and effort. If important details are omitted during those first few formative conversations, you could be looking at a rocky road ahead.
Starting with a strong foundation of friendship and trust is important when you’re building a new relationship. A foundation built on honesty can mean the difference between a healthy relationship and one that leaves much to be desired.
