The #1 secret to a healthy relationship: Find a partner who believes this just as much as you do. 👇 —— 👋 What's the best relationships advice you've heard? I'd love to read it in the comments!

I'd make a slight distinction between dating and married in terms of healthy priorities. Dating #1 Priority- Self #2 Priority- Career/Work/Business #3 Romantic Relationship Married #1 Priority- Self #2 Spouse #3 Career/Work/Business And for married women, it's really important to understand what stage of development of her man is in so she can have realistic expectations of what she can expect from him and be happy.
Hard reality for many women, unfortunately.
There tends to be this fallacy many people fall into with relationships The more you pour into it, the better it will be... Often times, it takes experiencing this strategy fail to see the truth The yin/yang symbol has a clear dividing line for a reason. When the line becomes blurred, both sides begin to lose their identity - disrupting the delicate balance that kept the pair in synchronicity

Can't pour from an empty cup
Not gonna lie, this is all fun and games when you read it on paper, But if my partner were to tell me his first priority is him, I would lose it. #JustKeepingItReal 😊
After 15 years of marriage and being a father of a daughter who is turning 14 y.o. in October, let me share the secrets that have successfully kept me for so long in one: 1) Let my spouse to be her true self. 2) No matter what, keep loving her. 3) Do not deep dive into details of her life at all unless being specifically asked for guidance / direction. In the meanwhile, I fully keep investing on myself to stay relevant in my industry.
Hot take on this: You should put your partner (especially wife/husband) before yourself. Self-sacrifice every day for your beloved. Focusing on yourself is selfish. She/he comes before you. "By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers." 1 John 3:16 You would ask where then to get pouring of love into you if you're pouring it out all the time? Well, the answer is God. God will fill your cup. And you will pour out your love on your spouse.

A great reminder that everything good needs to start with yourself.
Your partner should be your #1 fan, rooting for you and supporting you as you pursue your first priorities in life.

1moThere's no first or second priority; it's all about balance! Let me illustrate with an example: Imagine I'm hungry, and there's a plate of food in front of me. You're also hungry. I can either choose to prioritize myself, eat first, and then share with you, or we can enjoy the meal together simultaneously.... Life in not about me, me, me, but is about you that I will find US= community (Family)
