Think aloud
Putting effort into a relationship is what can make it or break it. If you give enough time and attention to your relationship, it will bloom like a flower.
On the other hand, if you don’t focus on it, thinking that the other person will do it for you, your relationship is doomed to fail.
Effort in a relationship should be mutual and it should come from both partners.
You should treat each other as team players because when one fails to do something, the other will feel the consequences too.
That’s how relationships work. They are not about waiting for the other partner to make a move and put in the effort.
Instead, it’s about the two of you, working together and constantly making an effort that will make your relationship a better place.
Below, I am giving you a list of 36 inspirational quotes that show the importance of putting effort into a relationship.
These can help you open your eyes and see the reality that has been foggy for too long.
