Design the Relationship you want.I have found that a lot of the same things that work for me in business also work for me in my relationship with my husband. For the last 6 months my husband and I have been consciously making plans, going over contracts, scheduling meetings and doing revisions. Sounds, boring... not at all.Just like in business you must have a written plan, that is something to measure your progress by. When things are not working out one of us, whomever has noticed it first may say, "we need to take some time out and talk," this is what I am referring to when I say have meetings. And our meetings are not necessarily formal, they may take place anytime, whenever we get the chance, in the morning, in bed or over the phone, but the point is we talk about the situation (conducting our meeting) and if we find we need to revise the plan, we do it. We may disagree on what exactly needs to be revised but that is just what happens in a board meeting, but eventually there is a consensus and we go from there. And just like in business when you must take the client out to lunch or dinner, you must do that same for your spouse or significant other. In business we don't expect to treat the client in an uncaring manner and then believe that you are going to keep their business. So I say remember to treat your partner the same.The point to all the above is that you have to plan your life and even if you are a single person that eventually wants to get married. Take the time and write down your ideal person you want and how you want the relationship to be. Design your relationship as you would your business and see what will happen for you. This will also work if you have not found the significant other yet, write your plans.Who has done this also?
