“It Takes Two to TANGO, i can’t dance alone...“
I’ve once said this sentences before..
I’m not trying to discuss a “dance technique” here..nor making a testimonial
Instead i’m just trying to share my experience in UNDERSTANDING your partner
Some couple in this world (especially youngsters), often fight for simple reasons, like:
- Messages/calls from his/her ex-boy/girlfriend
- Lacking of attentions
- Too much attentions for his/her friends instead of you
- Not enough time to spend with you
- Too possessive
- Too ignorant
- Insecurity caused by long distance relationship
- Have a different point of view / way of thought
- etc
Those reasons caused by one major part of a relationship: UNDERSTANDING
Its easier to type that word rather than to do the realization
I’ve once watch a movie about “How to TANGO”. Interesting fact that i found in that movie. Turns out if you want to create a great TANGO dance, you have to UNDERSTAND your partner. Understand in what? his/her emotions, heartbeat, ability in dance, technique in movements, even the way he/she breathe!
UNDERSTAND ALL about her/him..
Because if you don’t, you will HURT your partner
For men, you might hurt your partner because in TANGO dance you’ll have to lift her high at one time, and put her low in other time..
For women, you might hurt your partner with your “heels’ if you kick to the wrong direction or you may stomp your partner’s foot.. watch your step & style.. because you might hurt yourself either! Wrong timing or wrong step might hurt yourself and might caused you unable to dance again..
If i’m allowed to represent lovers like partners in TANGO dance, man & woman are likely as this descriptions:
Men: at some times you have to put your partner high, but some other time you have to put your partner low but still with the caress, slow and hold her tight, you have to let her know that you will always be there for her in no matter situation and condition to support her
High & low for men may represent with words, attentions, flowers, romantic dinners, sharing your problems (most men avoid to share things with their couple & choose to stay in the ‘cave’ to find his own solution), calls, messages, etc.
Women: Heels in woman are like words & appearance .. sometimes it can look/heard sexy for a man but look scary for other man’s eyes. Your words/appearance can make your men feels happy at some time but also can make your men feel bad in other time. Watch out!
But, who’s gonna start to UNDERSTAND first?? he? or she?
It is the main point that start the debate/fight/war between couples…
Man : “You have to understand me first, i’m a man. I’m the one whose gonna lead the family”
Woman : “Yeah but i am a woman! And you know what?? Ladies first! You have to understand me first!”
It is human nature to pointing at others
especially when we don’t want to be blame for something.
Instead of debating with each other about whose gonna start to understand first, why don’t we JUST DO IT??
It is as si
mple as Nike’s tagline: JUST DO IT! 
STOP debating, STOP fighting, STOP whining…
JUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND your partner.. then you will create a GREAT TANGO Dance ^^
