Taking in charge of your relationship helps to make it more long-lasting and happening for both partners. If one of the partners is smart and is really interested to create order and harmony in the relationship, then the other partner feels more committed and lively. Respect and mutual understanding get established when both the partner takes responsibilities that they can perform efficiently and effectively. Here are some pointers that you both as partners should agree to do mutually in order to keep the relationship in sanctity:
1) Communicate transparently even if it means being very honest about how you feel and think about your partner, the situation, marital life, and your future. It helps the other partner understand well what his or her partner feels actually than living in a wonderland full of anxiety and uncertainty in store.
2) Respect the boundaries and commitments of each other and towards each other. Your partner may have an aging mother whom he wants to take care of more than being with you. Although it becomes really difficult to accept your partner spending time with others than you then you need to understand his point of view and give him that space and time to come back to you. Do not cross your limits and create nuisance in the relationship because of your insecurities and possessiveness.
3) Take responsibility for your words and actions. If you say you would like to contribute or support your partner in financial aspects, then do it. If you are not comfortable sharing your finances with your partner and want him or her to be independent then even say the same and act on it. Do not say something else and act on something else as it creates a lot of confusion between the partners leading to trust issues.
