The Secret to Great Relationships: "The Norm of Reciprocity" The "norm" of reciprocity...
WOW, what's that? Is it the guy in the bar at "Cheers"? Well...
we all liked Norm, but the normof reciprocity refers to a relationship where two people are giving equally to each other.
When I give something to you, you give me something in return.
It can be a kind word, a hug or a smile.
A REAL relationship has two people giving equally over time.
A business relationship works the same as friendship or love.
"What, that sounds awful"! Well, think about it? In a business relationship, I give you something, and you give me something back-it's called commerce.
In a love relationship, I give you my love and attention-you give me love and attention.
The presence of reciprocity is how you know you are in a relationship.
How does that sound? What are your relationships like? Are you getting what you give? Is it love? Maybe, maybe not? Think about it? Are you getting what you give? Do you WANT something back? Come out from Hiding, and Accept the Love You Have It is sometimes easy to hide in a relationship where the other person does NOT give back to you.
There is no threat; things are easy to predict.
But it's not equal.
Of course there are times, in the best of relationships, where things are not equal: you have to sacrifice, that's life.
We all have tough times where we are not as able to give as we would like.
But that's not what I am talking about.

• Are you hiding in a relationship where you are the only one giving?
• Is there something more you need and want?
