How to Destroy A Relationship

It’s no secret that relationships of any kind require a lot of time, work, and communication.

The element of a any relationship that often gets over-looked is selflessness.

Selfishness has ruined a lot of relationships.

In fact, the relationships that I have seen ended have all been because both parties consistently practiced selfishness.

Selfishness, while it encompases a lot of different elements, can be summed up in just a few words…

Selfishness occurs when we think of ourselves before others.

In relationships, this means we…

• Refuse to deal with problems that arise because we’re afraid of conflict.
• Refuse to initiate conversation because we feel like we’re always the ones that do.
• Choose to quit giving because we feel like we’re not getting enough.
• Refuse to make compromises because we’re set in our ways.

I know that the above is much easier to type than to practice.

However, while we’ll never perfect selflessness (we are born that way),
we can start by making a conscience effort to give much more than we take.

What is one way that we can practice selflessness in our relationships?
