Continuous effort is required to keep a relationship thriving from "summary" of Getting Together and Staying Together by William Glasser,M.D.,Carleen Glasser
Maintaining a healthy and thriving relationship requires ongoing effort and commitment from both partners. It is not enough to simply fall in love and expect the relationship to flourish on its own. Just as a garden needs constant care and attention to grow, so does a relationship. Partners must be willing to invest time, energy, and resources into nurturing their bond. This means actively listening to each other, communicating openly and honestly, and resolving conflicts in a respectful and constructive manner. It also involves showing appreciation, affection, and support for one another on a regular basis. Without continuous effort, a relationship can quickly stagnate and deteriorate. Neglecting to prioritize the relationship can lead to feelings of resentment, dissatisfaction, and disconnection. Over time, this can erode the foundation of the partnership and ultimately lead to its demise. By making a conscious effort to prioritize the relationship and invest in its growth, partners can strengthen their bond and deepen their connection. This requires a willingness to adapt, compromise, and evolve together as individuals and as a couple. It also involves being proactive in addressing issues and challenges as they arise, rather than sweeping them under the rug.- A thriving relationship is the result of ongoing dedication, mutual respect, and shared values. It is a journey that requires both partners to be actively engaged and committed to each other's happiness and well-being. By recognizing the importance of continuous effort, couples can create a solid foundation for a lasting and fulfilling partnership.
