Chapter 1

Introduction

Love is patient, kind, does not envy, and does not boast; it is not self seeking, not easily angered, and keeps no records of wrongs. Love always trusts, always protects, always hopes, and always perseveres. A loving, successful relationship is hard work.

You go through many stages with your partner: from the day you meet to where you two may end up at happily married or happily committed. Realistically the process takes time; a perfect relationship doesn’t happen overnight. There are many stages your relationships are going to go through. You are going to have good and bad days with each other, but with patience and understanding love can outweigh any situation.

Relationships are jobs. It takes hard work and dedication to maintain a successful relationship. By explaining some very important job policies and how they apply to a successful relationship I will help you have a better understanding of this concept. I’ve worked at many jobs and they all have the same overall content with the same common goal to succeed. The might operate a little different, but nevertheless with same common goal: happiness and love.

How do you succeed in a successful relationship, you ask? By applying for a job. It is done in much the same way – the two concepts are very nearly parallel, as you will see in the rest of this book. For now, we will go over some of the basic concepts that will be addressed later. We will begin with this: when first meeting someone, then dating and having this strong interest in another person… that’s called applying to be with the person of interest.

After applying, you get the interview process - depending on how truthful you were while applying. Interview: a meeting in which one person or several people are questioned, often by a prospective employer. In the dating world, a potential partner is your employer. You are interviewing to be with them.

After the interview - depending on how well the interview went - you’re given your job description. This is when the job gives you an overall description of what the details of your job are, and the duties you’re expected to perform. In a very similar vein, with a relationship you also have a job description, as well as reasonable duties you’re expected to perform. The same applies to your potential partner. And you are given your responsibilities: a willingness to respond appropriately, be trustworthy and reliable. In a relationship you also have responsibilities to attend to you and your partner’s feelings.

And now you’re receiving training. Train: to teach someone or yourself to do something difficult that could be considered a skill. A skill takes time to develop, and through training you gain skill. It also applies to a successful relationship - it takes training to develop a skill and training equals skill.

At a job they give you policies you have to follow. Policy: a course of action adopted by an individual. With a successful relationship, policies apply too. In relationship terms, policies are boundaries. Boundaries are important because without boundaries there is no respect.

Procedures: a manner in proceeding in any action, process, or conduct. This applies to a successful relationship in the sense that after setting boundaries you both proceed with the relationship and discuss goals and other important matters.

With a job you are provided with tools to better perform your job. Tool: an instrument used to do work or make repairs. In a successful relationship you will need some important tools to do the work and make repairs. After being given tools you have a higher standard to perform up to, now that you have the proper tools and information you need to better succeed in your job. It is the same in a successful relationship: after being informed properly with the correct tools you have a standard to perform up to.

Attendance: the act of showing up or putting in an appearance or presence. Attendance at a job or in school is important because through good attendance you gain experience. With good attendance and with a successful relationship you gain more experience.

At a job you often sign a confidentiality or privacy agreement. Confidential: secret, private, trusted. In a relationship you both are in effect verbally signing a confidentiality agreement when each of you enter into the relationship.

You’re providing services. Services: a job that one performs for others. With a successful relationship the service you are providing is simply to be a good partner.

With the hard work you put in at a job you are offered various benefits. Benefits: rewards. In a relationship, by being the best partner you can be, you are also offered benefits/rewards. The most obvious example of these rewards is love.

At any job you have reviews – often they take the form of annual reviews. Review: to go over or examine, to look back upon. In a relationship this is called an anniversary. First, you celebrate annually; then, you discuss your performance up to this point. Performance: to act or show. At the anniversary of a relationship you may both talk about any acts that might have been good or bad in the past year, and come up with a learning plan for the future. The same can be true with a job, wherein you and your boss create a learning plan. This also goes for a successful relationship - you and your partner equally and fairly come up with a leaning plan for the future.

I’ll explain each of these items in greater depth in the chapters to follow.

Chapter 2

Applying For the Job

Apply: to seek or to ask; to put on; to pertain. When applying for a job, there is something that made you want to apply in the first place. With the beginning stages of a successful relationship, there is something that drew you in about that person: maybe it was a physical attraction, or mental attraction. For example: their smile, body frame, intelligence, or personality.

When filling out a job application you’re required to complete some important information for an employer: your legal name, your age, your current address, your birthday, educational background, background check, and any special skills you have that may be important. The most important thing is your job history. Now, in your job history section you are asked to supply the start and end date you worked somewhere. In every section of your job history you are asked what your reason was for leaving.

The application also asks for your availability. Are you available mornings? Are you available days? Are you available nights? Are you available overnights? Are you available weekends? Are you available holidays? Are you available to work overtime? Then it goes on to ask if you are seeking full time employment or part time employment, and how many hours are you seeking to work in a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

The only difference is if that job application is on paper or an internet application. Being honest on a job application shows a good sign of faith and shows you’re being up front. By being honest with an employer you increase your chance to get the job you are inquiring about. Lying on a job application may hurt your chances to get the job you want or need and you may not get a call back because of your lying. Honesty is always the best policy.

This job application applies to a relationship. Obviously, no one is filling out a paper application or even a web application, but through conversation you are conducting a verbal application - using a standard job application form with the same type of information. For example, a greeting of some kind is made.

Hello, I’m (fill in the blank with your real name).

Nice to meet you. My name is (fill in the blank with their real name).

You both exchange real names - not nicknames or fake names. Your birth legal name is used, and should go something like: Nice to meet you. My name is (real name). May I ask what your name is? and their legal birth name is given in return.

On a job application it asks if you are under the age of 16 or older, and you usually check the box that applies. In a potential relationship sharing with each other your real ages is important. It should go something like, How old are you? (A real age is given.) I’m (in return tell your real age). Lying about your age may not seem like a big deal to you, but it is being deceitful and misleading. You are building a relationship based on lies and taking the risk of your potential partner finding out your real age. You may not know how your potential partner will react to discovering the truth. Honesty is the best policy.
