While talking to a good friend today about what makes a relationship ‘tick’ or ‘stick’, I hit upon a very good analogy. (Personally, am very excited to share this as I feel the discovery might be of ‘man lands on moon’ proportions. Or so, I think.)
I don’t have all the answers. But it makes perfect sense that a relationship with a stronger foundation stands good and bad phase.
Lets say we make a foundation with bricks for a relationship. And three bricks are all that is required to build it up.
The first brick to be laid is TRUST. If you don’t trust another person and their integrities, then, chances are this brick will have to be picked up way too often.
The second brick is RESPECT. If you can’t respect another individual for who she or he is, probably you would always have a desire to keep shifting the brick. Being curt and rude to your loved one will surely disintegrate this brick. Remember, it’s just a man-made stone.
Lastly, the third brick is LOVE. Have to be placed in between the earlier two bricks. Without the other two, this brick can’t hold much in the long run.
Every relationship is different. When you treat another person as your equal you seek to understand and be understood.
