The word sour has a number of definitions, but for this particular blog, I would like to define the word as something that is disagreeable, distasteful, and unpleasant. Relationships that become disagreeable, distasteful, and unpleasant do so for several reasons. First, lack of communication is a huge part of sour relationships. Communication is the key to any strong relationship and it takes open and honest words in order for a successful relationship to flourish. When people close up and chose to not tell the truth due to fear and selfish ambition, things begin to fall apart. All too often, problems arise and are not addressed which leads to the creation of a ticking time bomb that eventually explodes. Somethings that are not communicated include expectations, desires, like, dislikes, true feelings, etc. It surprises me when individuals expect a person to know important pieces of information if they were never informed. Honesty is another important key to any successful relationship. When a person is honest, it builds up a foundation of trust, respect, faithfulness, and loyalty. Honesty causes individuals to let down their guards and gain a sense of confidence that allows them to be their true selves in the relationship. Finally, kindness is a huge factor that must be included in order to maintain a successful relationship. Often times, people become complacent and don't realize that the same thing it took to get the affection of the person in the beginning will be one of the things that will be needed for the maintenance of affection.
