These underlying strengths help relationships not only survive but thrive over time. How many do you recognize from your own experience?
Focus, instead, on those that do apply. Acknowledging beliefs and behaviors that are already successful will give you moreEvery relationship has only so many resources at different times and in different situations. Whether time, money, love, availability, or mental and emotional, those resources must be allocated with fairness, generosity and understanding. Successful couples negotiated priorities together, deciding what each may need at any one time.
In times of abundance, those allocations are easier to manage. There is more of whatever each partner needs and can more easily meet requests, desires, or an emergency. When resources are depleted, successful couples know to adjust to those diminished coffers and negotiate to reach the best agreement they can.Life’s demands change. Resources wax and wane. Different life stages require adaptations and adjustments. Losses are inevitable. Earlymay fall by the wayside and new ones emerge.
Relationships are no different. What responses, offerings, and valuable contributions that may have been more than enough at one time must be able to continually transform as new requirements demand different reactions, resources, or priorities. People in quality relationships regularly re-assess how they need to alter who they are, what they can give or need, and how the relationship is doing in general.
It is always better to know that your partner would rather be with you than somewhere else. But, if you know that he or she would thrive better away from you, holding them trapped to maintain your security will ultimately fail in the long run. The deepest form of love is to want what is best for each other even when that sacrifice brings potential
of loss. The old adage, “Let something go free. If it is meant to come back, it will,” is profoundly true in successful relationships.
