Give Up; Let Go

Sometimes in the course of a relationship some issues may arise. This can range from a variety of factors. I have always emphasized on communication being key in all relationships. When this is done things are addressed in a more civil manner. This not to say that arguments won’t occur; those eventually are inevitable. However when you take the time to have a decent conversation with your partner or spouse; it’s just more effective in a civil tone.

There can be a number of situations that may certainly have an impact on your relationship. Such as; sacrifices.

Is making a sacrifice for the other’s happiness a must? What exactly is considered a sacrifice? Is it accepting a job offer in another state & expecting your partner to drop their entire life to go with you? Is it leaving a child with one parent because the adults ended their relationship? Is it putting up with belittlement from a parent all your life because you respect them? Is it continuing to stay in a loveless marriage? Is it going to work every day, all day long and not spending time with your family because you’re working 24/7 to provide for them?

What is making sacrifices in a relationship? It all comes down to this. It is giving up your happiness for the sake of others. When you love someone you do everything in your means to promote wellness, happiness, comfort & joy to all of them. It means putting them first before everything.

So, when your spouse is offered that out of state position. You pack your life up and go. When the spouse is working hard to provide for all of you; welcome them home with a hot meal, a romantic dinner, a hot bath/massage and a heart full of love. When they’re gone most of the time, show them they’re still loved & appreciated.

When you make sacrifices in your relationship. You just may be surprised at the outcome. You may never know what is to come. The fact remains you do it together. You communicate; doing this allows your relationship to grow together or apart.

Every relationship is different. There are many who will choose not to do anything for another. Then you have the ones who will do everything for the other. You and only you have the choice to decide whether you make the sacrifice of following your own happiness wherever it may lead.
