#12 - Are you accountable in your relationship?
It takes two people to make or break a relationship. Each person is responsible for what they bring to that relationship. What do you have to offer your mate or a potential mate? Do you actively contribute to building up your relationship or do you expect your mate to do all the work? Another way to ask that question is; are you making deposits to you…r mate’s love tank or are you only making withdrawals?
Making a deposit in your mate’s love tank does not always have to be complicated. In fact, most of the time it is very simple. It can be holding her hand when you are walking down the street. It can be rubbing his shoulders after a tough day at work. It can be sitting and listening (without comment) to her and the problems she faced during the day. It can be helping him wash his car. It can be as simple as saying “I love you.” None of these things are complicated. Some things may take a little more effort and a little more thought but none of it is rocket science.
Failing to make deposits will ultimately lead to emotionally bankrupting your relationship. The key is to make a little effort to know what pleases your mate. Be accountable to your mate to do the little things that make a deposit in their love tank regularly and you will be surprised by the response you get in return.
