“When your spouse, lover, significant other tells you what they want, give them exactly what they ask for. Don’t offer them more or less or a version you think they will like better. Listen carefully, without interference from the voice in your head. Then from love and kindness and sincerity, give them precisely what they ask for. Let them add. Let them take away without any resistance from you. This gives them a voice in the relationship and will inspire them to respect yours.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

Dan, thanks for your thoughts. :) I meant it as not just a starting point, but a practice as the relationship and each individual evolves.

Well now, this old cowboy didn’t convey his thoughts very well then. Building a relationship is much like building a home. You start by laying bricks for the foundation. This thought is one of those bricks. If you want a strong home you use the best bricks. Since you also want that home to last, you check them often to make sure the home stays strong.
