All relationships require balance and stability to be successful. Like any platform, a stool requires at least three legs to stand upright. I have found three key components that I believe are necessary for any relationship to work:
- Interest:
- There has to be a reason for being in the relationship. You need to be interested in having the relationship as well as having interest in the other person.
- Commitment:
- There needs to be a dedication towards having the relationship work. Through commitment you are paying attention to the relationship and making the necessary adjustments to keep the relationship growing and strong.
- Mutualness:
- You both have to have the other two components in order to fully balance the relationship. If you are interested in them and they are not, then it is unrequited. If they are committed to having the relationship and you could care less, then the relationship either becomes stagnant or falls apart.
With the presence of these three key components in place, a stable base is established which allows for a firm foundation for any relationship to be built.
