“A GOOD MARRIAGE IS A CONTEST OF GENEROSITY.”
—DIANE SAWYER
These words resonate deeply with the essence of what it takes to nurture a thriving relationship❤.
A relationship is not an accounting firm. We want to avoid keeping score of the transactions. True connection transcends such transactional exchanges✨.
Yet, how do we ensure that this equilibrium remains intact, guarding against the potential for one partner to feel neglected or taken for granted?
The answer lies in embracing Generosity as a Default mode of operation. Within our own family, we’ve adopted this principle as a guiding light. We have embodied a mindset where saying “yes” is the instinctive response, unless doing so compromises our own well-being, values or is more important to us than it’s for the other to hear “yes”.
By making generosity our default mode of operation, we create a nurturing environment and build a bond of trust.🙏
