Deep dives

The Importance of Reciprocity in Relationships

Reciprocity is crucial for maintaining intimacy within relationships, as one-sided expectations can lead to bitterness and dissatisfaction. Partners should focus on serving each other out of love, rather than compliance, which often feels burdensome and unfulfilling. For example, when one partner performs acts of kindness without expecting anything in return, it can be a meaningful expression of love that strengthens the bond between them. However, failing to recognize differing love languages or timelines can result in resentment when one partner feels underappreciated or overlooked.
