For a successful relationship there are 3 keywords necessary for the growth and life span of the relationship according to Pope Francis which i will like to share with you, they are:

1. PERMISSION

Seeking permission from each other decides the success of any relationship.
A man must not always think he is the only one in a relationship neither the woman, two good heads are better than one, so, before you act it is advisable you ask your partner if it is right to do this or that.

Decision making in a relationship should be through agreement and not just by one bossy fellow.

2. FORGIVENESS

It is good to forgive one's partner even before the offence.

We are humans and bound to make errors. No one is specially made perfectly and we will not be perfect no matter how hard we try to.

Once a mistake is recognized and apology is tendered, it should be accepted.

Relationship therapists and researchers agree that forgiveness is a key ingredient in a successful bond. After all, no partner is perfect, wrote psychology expert Lisa Firestone for The Huffington Post last year.

3. THANKS

Appreciation is very essential in a relationship. Don't say because he is your partner so whatever he/she does is what is expected of him/her.

It might be what he/she is suppose to do but it is good to still appreciate.

Learn to say thank you after a good meal. Say thank you for every gift and every thing.

Showing Gratitude is almost the same as saying "i love you", and it keeps the bond alive.
