Why today’s relationships fail

Don’t you think that very often we start to taking relationships for granted after some time?

People forgetting that for a relationship to work they had to keep making deposits of affection, of support, of love, of service and of sacrifice. Who doesn’t respond to these investments?

One man opened his main door in the morning, and the neighboring dog he found was carrying his newspaper in the mouth and had brought it to him. The man was touched by the dog’s service. He brought a biscuit and offered it to the dog. The next morning when he opened his main door, he found that the neighbor’s dog brought 5 newspapers from the entire neighborhood to his door. The dog has responded to the affection this man had offered to it.

Everybody responds to affection. Think of a relationship as a bank account, where you make deposits and have withdrawals. You can only withdraw to the extend that you have deposited. The problem with many of our relational bank account is that we have overdrawn them. When was the last time you complimented your boyfriend, your girlfriend or your spouse for their looks? When was the last time you appreciated your family member?

So contemplate about the bank accounts of your relationships. And to ponder how we can enhance the deposits we make in them to ensure that these relationships become more positive. And whenever the need arises, to get something unpleasant or difficult done from the other, we are able to make the withdrawal, because we have thoughtfully and understandingly made sufficient deposits.
