Understanding Relationship Efforts

Relationships require mutual effort between partners who are both evolving and attempting to bring their best selves to each other. It is highlighted that while relationships can be challenging, certain aspects, such as expressing the desire to meet or engage, should naturally feel easy. If one partner hesitates or expresses doubt in wanting to take the next step, it raises questions about their commitment and compatibility. Recognizing which parts of a relationship should feel simple can help individuals avoid wasting time on someone who may not be right for them.
