A Couple's Role in Your Relationship

The role of your relationship is very important; notice I did not say rules, because in a relationship, no one should have to obey rules; boundaries perhaps, as long as both partners agree. That being said, this article will look at and discuss roles you might want to experiment or maybe even adapt to your relationship.

The first role in any relationship should be honesty and accepting responsibility for your actions. Most actions are displayed in some form of behavior that can be either good or bad. Each partner should have a different role and both partners need to develop trust within their relationship. The purpose of a role is to establish a partnership that avoids negativity, such as anxiety and stress and instead shows your appreciation and love.

The next role to develop is equality between one another. All healthy relationships share a balance that shows respect and dignity. When two partners use the tool of role reversal, they are able to visualize a clearer picture of what it’s like in their partner's shoes. Hopefully by understanding a new perspective you and your partner can come to some form of agreement and respect one another's point of view.

The next role in making a relationship work is to play to your strengths; if your partner is good at math, maybe they should be in charge of financial affairs, while your strength could be in cooking and your role would be to cook the meals. It’s important to establish each other’s role, by doing so, your relationship becomes strong and secure.

The last piece of advice when establishing roles should be how does the choice you make affect your partner. The goal in all relationships is to help one another grow; problems will always exist, however, you can minimize their impact through understanding and communication; by doing this you and your partner are able to support each other and provide a healthy and loving relationship.

Good Luck !!
