Life is all about relationships
• Everything you do in life is for other people or with other people
• Your best – and worst – times in life are usually with other people
Think about it…
When you first get together…
• You’re inseparable
• You spend every moment you can together
• When you’re not together, you’re thinking about each other
• You’re always on the phone
• You always show up looking your best and being your best
When you’re dating…
You try hard to please each other and meet each other’s needs
You’re always asking yourself:
• How can I please her?
• What can I do for him?
• What can I buy for her?
• What would he really like?
When you get married…
It suddenly switches…
You start asking them:
• How are you going to meet my needs?
• Why didn’t you do this for me?
• Why didn’t you do that?
Do you remember a time you messed up?
• You were scared
• You knew you deserved to be punished
• You knew the other person had every right to be angry with you
