Give and Take

Give and take is exactly that. Some days one person may need a little more love, or understanding. It's all about balance. You just need to know when to give and when to receive

i think the give can apply in every part of your life. relationships, friendships, and families. you should give respect to get respect. in a relationship you should give love to get love. in a friendship you should be a true friend to get a true friend in return. i give a little and take a little, you give a little and take a little vice versa. it is not fair if you are always giving and never getting anything back.

I don't think it's possible for a couple to give 50/50 all the time, everyday. There are times when I'm out of sorts and my husband has to give more than his 50%. And there are days when I have to give more than my share of 50%. It's give and take, compromises, and it can fluctuate according to what is going on in the person's life at the time. But one person doing all the giving, and the other all the taking, now that is wrong with a capital W-R-O-N-G!! There have been times when my husband wanted to do something that I really didn't want any part of. I have to decide if his wanting it is stronger than my not wanting it, and visa-versa. For instance, right now he is wanting to get more dogs for our breeding business. The problem is we're not quite set up for another breed, and I do the caring for the dogs. I just don't feel like I'm up to accommodating another breed. So we compromised, he will get two and leave off the third which is a different breed. I think part of this works for us because for the first time in my life I'm married to a man I respect and I know he respects me.
