Requirements for a long-term relationship
Day by day,
all of us should commit to the requirements necessary
to build successful relationships
A relationship cannot grow
if there is no desire to work for the common good
And without a benefit that is clear for both parties,
the relationship is doomed to failure
Requirement #1
Commitment
The participants recognize
the benefit and value of the relationship,
and are determined to make it work
The level of commitment should progress with time,
and the level of responsibility and interaction should increase
as the relationship develops
Requirement #2
Authenticity
Relationships require honesty and candor,
on both sides
It will be noticed if the expressions of care are not sincere,
and the relationship will go backward
On the other hand,
genuinely expressed appreciation will be quickly perceived,
and accelerate the evolving relationship
Requirement #3
Communication
Both parties should feel free to express themselves as they are,
and know that they will be heard and understood
In each of the stages of a relationship,
if communication is well prepared,
it will help to convey the other two factors
