Love or Competition: Which is Your Relationship Based On?

Once you start to veer off the path of love—and I mean doing things because you genuinely and selflessly want the best for the other person—things can get confusing. You don’t trust your partner. Your partner doesn’t trust you. Suddenly, taking care of the relationship and taking care of yourself are two things that don’t coincide. That’s when your relationship is more about competition—about being the one who doesn’t get hurt, embarrassed, or screwed over—than about loving someone.

    Happy Memorial Day, everyone. Have a safe holiday! This is a very important article and a subject that I think gets overlooked alot. I know couples where the husband and wife seem to be in competition with each other. When one gets a new car, the other follows suit. When one gets a new job, the other is right behind them. Friendly competition is okay, but rivalry can be dangerous in a relationship. Sadly, some people don’t realize that is what they are doing.

    Be blessed!
