How to Save Your Relationship by Understanding the Concept of Give and Take

Posted: Nov 21, 2009 | Comments: 0 | Views: 23 | Bookmark and Share

Would you think that there is a balance of give and take in your relationship? You will have to start implementing imminent changes if you want to save your relationship now. You can begin by learning how to maintain your relationship at a optimum level of give and take.

First, let me tell you the truth. It is impossible to say whether your partnership is definitively equal because it is all about your perception. As such, to succeed in saving your relationship, you need to be objective.

Only you can be the judge of how much you are contributing or how much your partner is contributing to the relationship.

We can often measure sacrifice towards a relationship in terms of money foregone but that is not really helpful. One should avoid using money to measure love.

Likewise the really important rewards of being in a relationship can only be assessed by the individuals concerned.

Couples will feel loved from the relationship when there is a balance of give and take. There are no considerations about why your partner is giving you less attention than you have given him/her.

Growing resentment will be felt if there is an imbalance of give and take. You will begin to feel that your contribution is not recognized and appreciated by your partner.

Unfortunately, many relationships begin in imbalance of sacrifice and continue until the sacrificing partner decides that enough is enough.

Some people are more inclined to sacrifice than others, while other people are more inclined to take continuously in their self interest. As such, do not let your relationship to be in this kind of circumstances.

There are times when couples have to make sacrifices in terms of hobbies, interests and emotional ties so as to build a lasting relationship. We all give up other relationships toward the special one. Both partners have to work to find ways to relate to one another and grow within that relationship.

Setting aside some time to reflect the daily actions done by your partner and show appreciation can assist to strike a balance of give and take. If you are the giving party, communicate to your partner on your feelings so that he/she will understand and start to appreciate what you have done.

Would you say you are a giver or a taker? Do you think your partner is a person who take or give more? If you think that you are the one who is always giving to your partner and you feel that you should be treated better, you can save the relationship by bringing up this basic principle to your partner.
