The Balance of a Relationship

Life, as we know it, can be difficult to manage, so balancing a relationship within a couple’s life takes patience, time and forgiveness. This article will look at such balances and offer ways to achieve such behavior.

Balancing your relationship is the first step to achieving equality with your partner. Balancing requires three key components that help bond your love for one another; they are communication, compromise and respect, or CCR.

Communication - If you haven’t noticed, is a critical role between two people; basically, when you communicate to one another you let down your guard because you feel comfortable to share and express your feelings. Your partner will enjoy the interaction and respect your honesty.

Compromise - as you and your partner travel the path of life’s challenges, you certainly will not always see eye to eye; compromising fosters a belief that acknowledges you both agree but in different ways. The goal of compromising is to balance the situation that will make each other feel like they have achieved their goal.

Respect - is there anything more important than having respect for yourself and your partner. Respect is an admission that you both accept one another as who you are and may want to be. You express positivity towards one another and value one another’s way of life. Respect can be non-verbal, such as a smile, paying attention and some sort of affection ( ie. kiss, hug etc ); please always remember that balance in your relationship needs to have you both invested in becoming a couple, it is not about gaining control nor who has more experience with previous relationships. Sharing balance will make your lives more meaningful and hopefully provide more moments of love and happiness. When the above three components are present the outcome may be a strong balance between both partners; balance is not easily achieved; stay focused and communicate often.

Good Luck !
