The Art of Love

Japanese culture offers several techniques that can contribute to a happy romantic relationship. Here are a few:

Aimai (Ambiguity): This involves a nuanced and indirect form of communication, helping partners avoid conflict and maintain harmony.

Gaman (Endurance): Emphasising patience and resilience, gaman encourages enduring hardships together and supporting each other through difficult times.

Wa (Harmony): Prioritising harmony and balance in the relationship by valuing peace and mutual respect.

Shinrai (Trust): Building deep trust by being reliable and showing genuine concern for each other.

Kansha (Gratitude): Regularly expressing appreciation and gratitude for each other's efforts and presence.

These principles foster mutual respect, understanding, and a supportive partnership.

And Kinbaku of course.

😂

I would *NOT* agree with the 1st one Aimai (Ambiguity).

*DIRECT* communication is *BEST *cuz many couples already have major problem communicating and understanding each other as it is.

But this is a cultural thing, I understand.

Indirect communication also builds up resentment. (If she’s slamming drawers, doors, for example)

If there is an issue, it’s best for a Romantic Partner to have a *DIRECT* conversation about that problem rather than suppressing their emotions and anger about the behavior of their partner.

Contrary to what lot of women seem to think (or wishes), men cannot just intuitively figure out WHY she’s angry at him!

And the guy being avoidant — most guys, especially the COWARDLY Manchilds but also depends on their Attachment Style — ONLY PISSES HER OFF MORE usually!
