There are so many types of relationships and an etiquette on how we interact in each type of relationship. There is a parental relationship where you demonstrate unconditional love to your children. The spousal or loving relationship towards your partner and or significant other and then the friendly relationship to those you call friends. Everyone has the day to day acquaintances.
All though they are all important it is imperative to understand the state of your relationship and how to enhance and grow the relationship. We have all heard of mutual respect and understanding, but we never think we all grow and change. Our desires change through maturity our needs change what we view as cool or even relevant to us.
Look in the mirror and ask yourself what value you brig to the relationship and how can you water it to grow.
