While most of us start with the question of “What’s in it for me?” try considering “What are you returning others on their investment (of time, love, energy, money, prayers) in you?” We often get into relationships, seeking the following: love, trust, attention, intimacy, respect, kindness, time, communication, gratitude, assistance, friendship, companionship and respect.
The article also gave a handful of questions for couples to explore. Here are a few examples:
- What is it like to live with you?
- What is it like to work with you?
- What is it like to live next door to you?
