The transactional nature of relationships in the modern age is frightening to me. Gone are the days of dowry where relationships used to be based on a transaction. If you look closely enough at how toxic social media has made courtship… it seems nothing has changed… except the fact that most people aren’t even offering their true selves.
“What do you bring to the table?” What exactly does your “Table” look like though? Are you a person of quality? Look in the mirror and ask yourself, are you worthy of my fathers 3 finest goats? (LOL)
We, as a society, need to stop looking at relationships as a transaction of physical items, and more so as an exchange of energy. Effort, being real, honesty, and going “ALL-IN” are the foundations of a healthy and vibrant relationship. Not “what can this person DO for me”
Your life doesn’t have to be perfect, you don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to “Have all your shit together” to foster a healthy relationship. You just have to WANT to build with your significant other. Finding someone who has a growth mindset, and is willing to trudge through hell with you if need be… with an open dialogue, brutal unwavering honesty and patience.
If you’re currently in a relationship. Ask yourself, when you do something nice for your partner… are you expecting something back? Is your relationship “transactional”?
The point I am trying to convey is that we don’t need a reason to do nice things for one another. We don’t need any ulterior motives for wanting to be with someone. Stop looking at your relationship like it is a transaction and start looking at it as a living and breathing thing you have to put effort and work into… and watch your relationship flourish!
Cheers all!
