Although a relationship can't be a one-way street, our first priority is to be a good partner. If each person is taking that responsibility, the relationship flourishes. This week we focus on the attitudes that a good partner possesses.

|
Many relationships suffer from one or both partners going on "autopilot". You think you know the other person, so you stop paying attention. You forget that there is a universe inside them, and that they need your loving attention everyday. A good partner does this deliberately.

Extended to a relationship: the quality of a couple's connection is 10% what's happening, 90% the attitude toward each other.

 "The Couple Checkup is a great way to generate meaningful conversation about each person's perspective and vision for your future life together. The more honest each is in truthfully answering the questions, the more insight you will gain from the results. I would recommend it to couples in the early stages of marriage prep as it highlights areas that you may need to come together on and seek outside advice and guidance." Anne & Nate
(now happily married)

St. Francis said it. Stephen Covey documented it as one of the key habits of highly successful people. And good partners do it habitually.
