Andrew,
It’s great that you have passed the “test”. Supporting and listening are easier said than done, but you and your wife make it!

Very effective post, Donald. Simply excellent.

My wife and I (married for 24 years) recently started to learn ballroom and latin dancing. Our relationship has been ‘put to the test’ during this time and we have come throught it.

How?

Supporting and listening to each other!

janelle,

Any good relationship takes time, patience and understanding.

I agree completely. I guess that’s why it’s difficult to build good relationships :)

Most of all, good communication is absolutely essential.

Again, I agree with you. Good communication can solve a lot of problems. Bad communication, on the other hand, can cause a lot of problems.

Great advice, Donald. Personally, I know that relationships are definitely a challenge. Any good relationship takes time, patience and understanding. Most of all, good communication is absolutely essential. If two people are in a relationship and are helping the other to grow in a positive way, then you know you’re golden :)

Shanel,
Yes, one-sided relationship could cause a lot of problems. It’s definitely not a good relationship.
It’s nice to know that you even wrote an e-book about it. Thanks for the information!

Great post, Donald! I agree wholeheartedly with all of your points. The problem begins when one side is less willing to do all of the above. Even worse, if the relationship is very much one-sided, then you have one side taking advantage of the other. I wrote about how to recognize these situations and how to get out of them in my ebook called Cuckoo in Your Nest! Your readers are welcome to a free copy.
