“What I Need From You: Touch Me with Honesty”
A relationship will stand or fall based on its participants. There are always two sides to a story, but there are also at least two participants in any given relationship. If you are not willing to give and take, you are not ready for a relationship. You must be willing to do what is necessary to support a relationship, because if you are to interact with others, there will come a time when you will need to give instead of take.

A need, once it is fulfilled, helps to maintain the relationship; however, unfulfilled needs can harm it. Keep in mind that a desire is something that you ask for from the level of something that is wanted, but is not necessary. If you receive the fulfillment of a simple desire, be mindful of that act of love shown to you by your partner. Do not ignore it or take it lightly, because that act shows your partner’s willingness to give you the little things that mean so much.

“Summary”
Relationships are based on give and take. For a relationship to stay alive, it must eat and breathe. Many times we try and place importance on things as if they were needed as much as food or air. Be mindful to not place unnecessary demands on your partner. In that way, the desires that are vital to you will have an opportunity to be given greater levels of importance and attention.

“Daily Interaction”
Sit outside, if the weather permits (as a change of scenery), or in front of a window holding hands. Be as quiet as possible and focus your attention on the view. After a few minutes, tell your partner what you like about the view or what would make a “perfect view” from the front door or from where you are sitting. Explain your reasoning.
