Greetings my Amiable ladies, this week's contest topic is very interesting and I know most of us will have one thing or the other to share through our experience. @trangbaby, that was a well thoughtful topic from you, good job! I will share my thoughts on question two.
2️⃣ Does love come on suddenly or grow over time? What are your keys
to ensuring your relationship remains strong and healthy?
In my own opinion, true love grows over time. It's a like a seed planted, and you keep watering it until the plant ☘️ sprouts and you keep taking care of it by adding manure, and removing weeds until it matures and bears fruits 🍓🍑.
Some people believe in love at first sight but to me what you feel at first could be lust, obsession, or infatuation, but along the way, you might fall in love with the person. Come to think of it, can you love someone that you don't know? You can see someone and get attracted by the person instantly but I can't call it love but maybe friendship. True love requires time to grow, and you get to know each other's inner circle as you communicate regularly. Even though some people believe in sudden love but to me, it grows over time.
When I met my husband, one aspect of his personality got me attracted and we became friends. I didn't love him instantly but with time as we kept understanding ourselves, the love deepens and we got married.
The Keys to Healthy RELATIONSHIP
I will share a few tips based on my experience so far.
Communication: This is very vital for a strong relationship. Communication helps in creating this bond between partners. Whenever my husband steps out to work, I make sure to keep in touch likewise him until he arrives home. With this, we can easily know what transpired within our day and have a good approach with each other later that same day. Whatever ideas, dreams, or plans, we communicate and take decisions together and it's been amazing. Communication also helps In conflict resolution, it becomes easier to resolve disagreements between us with good communication, and trust me, it's a unique way of having a strong and healthy relationship.
Quality time together: Quality time increases intimacy. No matter our workload, no matter the stress we face each day, we don't fail to have a good time together. it's a time we share ideas too, brainstorm on ways to make life better for our kids, and also support each other emotionally, hand ave that intimacy that strengthens both partners. Even in our busy schedules, creating time for both of us is a ritual for a healthy relationship.
Commitment: I understand that for our relationship to flourish, I have to commit myself, and be engaged in whatever happens. Whether good or bad, both of us commit our time, energy, and resources to a good relationship. I have seen a woman who doesn't contribute financially to her marriage but rather sends her money to her parents leaving the whole burden to the husband alone, this attitude doesn't show her commitment to the marriage. Both partners getting involved both financially and otherwise, will go a long way in keeping the relationship stronger and healthier.
Gratitude: for both small and big achievements, be grateful for your partner. Saying "thank you" for things like this is an attribute people neglect but it will encourage a man or woman to keep doing better.
Forgiveness: I don't have it all rosy in my relationship but forgiveness and apology have saved the day several times for me and kept my relationship healthy and Strong.
Respect is another key to uphold, I give my husband the respect that he deserves, and likewise him to me as well. Supporting each other's dreams will go a long way in having a strong and healthy relationship.

All your points are valid, although I've had to struggle with communication issues with hubby, the man thinks I can read minds, thank God I'm breaking that wall gradually.
Hahaha 😂😂😂😂
Please teach me how to read minds if possible 😂
Haha, I can not read minds too, if it were possible, we will still be frustrated, communication remains the best key.

Such a detailed about the keys to a healthy relationship. Well, there are things to learn and relearn over time. Yeah, I think love grows over time and it continuously develops as you spend days with that person. How awesome to be loved and in love. !PIZZA
You are perfectly right
As we spend days together, love grows continuously

Fair points well made.
But I just wonder how long it takes for true love to grow, does one has to wait for such a long time to be sure if they truly love someone or not.
Thank you for those keys to a healthy relationship, they are very thoughtful and from experience.
How long it takes for a true love to grow varies from one person to another and from situations to another.
I can't say exactly the number of months or years...it all depends on the individuals involves and what you are looking for in a man or woman
I really appreciate your lovely comment
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️🥳
Quite true, thanks for this.
Nice post and great points. All your points are important in order to keep love alive in a relationship.
Awwwwwn 🥰
Glad you agreed to my points
Thank you so much my dear ❤️🥰
It is sad to have a partner that does not forgive easily. I used to have a relationship where my partner will nag and nag.. it takes him over weeks to completely forgive when a disagreement comes up. I just had to run for my life.
Oh my goodness 🤭
Forgiveness is a good virtue to embrace in a relationship. Without it, it will keep birthing other issues.
Sorry to hear that you left ur relationship for that 😔
Commitment it is!
It takes two to tangle you know
Exactly my dear ❤️

Forgiveness is one of the major thing a relationship needs because when both partners are ready to forgive each other when they offend themselves, their relationship will be peaceful.
Great post nkem.

Healthy relationships require a lot of work and dedication from both parties. Commitment, forgiveness, gratitude and quality time together are all integral components of any successful relationship. Without these elements, the relationship is likely to fall apart. :)
