There is a saying out there that many people are fond of that goes simply love hurts if only there was some sort of primer that we could all read that would allow for us to learn some standard lessons about love. If we were given some key lessons about love early on we may be better able to embrace what does come our way and then not fall apart when it is no more. Love can hurt, but love can also be really beautiful if you accept it for what it is.

No man or woman will fix the way you feel about yourself or your life. So often when we are distraught about things in other areas of our life we look to our mate to fix it for us. This is the reason that there are always people out there searching for someone to be with, someone they want to heal them. The fact of the matter is that there is not someone out there that can fix you or your life.

You cannot get into a relationship for the pure and simple reason of having them complete you, because it just will not work. Not to mention, most people do not like the pressure of having to fix you and everything that has gone wrong in your life.

You need to apply the life lessons you have learned to your relationships. You need to have your eyes wide open at all times and when you learn a life lesson, apply it. If you have been through a hard time, take what you have learned and apply it going forward. This can save you a lot of grief in the future.

Learn who you are and what you like instead of assuming that someone will just know. There is nothing worse than being with someone who does not know what they want and what they like, yet they expect you to. Spend time trying to get to know yourself, experiencing new things, and deciding for yourself what you like and what you want from life.

Then, make this knowledge known to those that you are dating and you will find that it makes relationships much easier to navigate and you will also have an easier time choosing mates who want the same thing from life.

Do not rush into a new relationship. It is often scary when you get out of a relationship to be alone, but this time is important. This is the time where you can reevaluate what you have learned from your previous relationship and how you can apply this new knowledge to your life now. The time in between relationships can prove fruitful and more important to who you are and what you do with your life than the time you spend inside a relationship.

Not all relationships will last forever. It would be good if we were all told this when we were young, so that we would not assume that our first love interest would be our last. It is often devastating when a relationship ends, but some relationships were never really meant to be a long term thing. You need to value the relationship for what it was and how long it did last and move on.
