Planning For Your Perfect Relationship

Most of us seem to stumble into relationships and marriage, and then continue to sort of make it up as we go along. It's been my personal and coaching experience that relationships take much more conscious planning to be successful. I would say, "Most people don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan." Sadly, but true, most people spend more time planning for a one week vacation than they’ll ever do when it comes to their relationships.

By learning how to plan now, when you are single, for what you want most in a mate…

• You might not settle.
• You might not select the same type of person you have in the past.
• You might not sacrifice your vision or edit your dreams just so that you can slot yourself into someone else’s plan for life.
• You might not do a lot of things.

A relationship plan is basically a system that you define for you and your life. It’s based upon the vision for your life, your values, and what you want most in a mate. It’s about deeply understanding yourself and what makes you happy and then defining those things that you’re seeking in a relationship and with another person.

Planning your relationship vision, prioritizing your top values, and the top values you most treasure in a relationship takes time. Think about how much time people spend planning their wedding day – one single day out of a lifetime. Some people spend 6 months, a year, or even longer. And look at the outcome ~ a divorce rate that exceeds 50% for first marriages and even higher for the second and third ones. Imagine what might be possible if that time and energy would have been invested in gaining more self-awareness, getting to really know their partner, and planning a successful future together beyond the one day reserved for a marriage or commitment ceremony? If you want to have a successful relationship, try a better method; learn more about dating and relating so you can move in a new direction. It’s time to make some changes. The sooner you start, the faster you’ll be enjoying the life that you want and deserve. Get started, create your dating plan, and claim your success!
