The Importance of Being Equal

The Importance of Being Equal

One of the most important parts of a relationship is agreeing on being equal. Some may disagree, stating that there needs to be a leader in such a relationship; however, a leader tends to be in a control mode and for a partnership to flow nicely, a couple have to function as one and respect one another’s opinion, hence have an equal partnership. This article will examine the type of people that exhibit such behavior and offer some examples on how to balance one another’s role.

When discussing equality in your relationship there may be two types of people; the first maybe a person who has observed how their parents handled such a topic; in other words the family was a good modeling guide. Families that model such behavior often have similar interests and neither dominate the relationship.

The second type, is a person that learns from his environment; school, news, social media; they learn that communication is a primary source that makes one another aware of their situation.

Some examples that may help clarify this are;

• Say you spend 30 minutes preparing dinner, well, your partner, in turn may spend 30 minutes cleaning up;

• Another example may be your partner does the shopping, you in turn put away the groceries, finally one more example is that you wash the laundry, while your partner puts it away.

I hope you can see where this is heading; by treating one another equally you are showing you care about each other and that as a team you are stronger than if there was only one person in charge of the relationship.

Understand that equality fosters positive feelings in your relationship and that in a loving relationship, equality stands for a healthy balance and a maturation between the two of you.

Good Luck !!
