Relationships are always like sand in the hand. The more you want to squeeze them, the more they get out of hand. Best is to let them be. Many men and women try to swing the relationship in their favor and this is where they make a mistake. The idea is to ensure that you know what makes your partner happy and then balance it with the things that you like. It is always a delicate balance and at times the tilt will shift that will cause rifts, but the trick is to again get back to try to achieve it. It is not about winning the battles in the relationship but to see how many you lose and still feel happy about it.
