What Does Relational Success Look Like? (Characteristics Of A Growing Relationship)


RELATIONAL SUCCESS...

Loving in the good times -- and the not-so-good times.

Learning how to "win as a team" instead of demanding to winas an individual.

Learning to care and caring enough to listen.

Seeking mutual growth, celebrating each other's victoriesand assisting each other during the stress times of life.

Being big enough to ask for forgiveness when you havewronged the other person and strong enough to grantforgiveness when you have been wronged.

Overlooking the small things for the purpose of gaining thebigger things in a relationship. Striving to keep the "smallthings" just that: small.

Giving enough space to the other person to allow for astrong sense of personal identity and self-worth while atthe same time refusing to allow "space" to become a way ofpunishing someone when they fail to live up to myexpectations.

Being flexible as schedules and various seasons of the yearfluctuate between "being normal" and "being totally out ofcontrol."
