A Relationship is like a bridge

A Relationship is like a bridge

Susan Quinn

Picture a bridge going across a bay.  It is suspended in the middle because it is firmly attached to the land on either side.   What would happen if one of the supports is compromised or weak and crumbles?   The bridge wouldn’t be able to carry you across.  It needs both supports to make it strong and functional.

A relationship needs 2 strong supports to function.  This is why each person needs to be strong and functional to make the union work.   You first have to fix the relationship with yourself to support your side of the bridge

A Relationship is like a bridge between two people that requires effort, trust, and communication to maintain and strengthen. It is built over time and can endure the challenges and hardships as long as both partners are committed and work together. Just like a bridge needs regular maintenance to stay strong and functional, a relationship requires attention, care, and effort to sustain.

Here are a few additional ways to strengthen a relationship:

Prioritize quality time: Spend time together, have meaningful conversations, and engage in activities that you both enjoy.

Practice forgiveness: Let go of grudges and focus on moving forward together.

Be a good listener: Listen actively, show empathy, and understand each other’s perspectives.

Be open and honest: Communication is key in any relationship, so be transparent and share your thoughts and feelings openly and honestly.

Show appreciation: Express gratitude and appreciation for each other regularly.

Compromise: Relationships are built on give and take, so be willing to compromise and find mutually beneficial solutions.

Set goals together: Work together to set and achieve common goals, both individually and as a couple.

Remember, relationships take effort and commitment from both partners. By focusing on maintaining a strong and healthy relationship, you can build a lasting and fulfilling partnership.
