If you want more out of your relationship then you have to be more. Relationship Specialist, Mark Webb, shares an excerpt from his bestselling book, How To Be A Great Partner.

When we fail to get the response or connection with our partner that we want, perhaps we should stop and look at our own thoughts and behavior.

But how do we uncover the real person underneath our sophisticated facade? We climbed that mountain so long ago; the path we took may be lost in the undergrowth.

Intimacy in a relationship is the process of revealing yourself to the other person involved. Yet we spend most of our time and energy keeping our true selves from each other in a relationship.

No relationship is equal give and take. In every relationship, both the partners make adjustments to make the relationship a success. Both give up many choices in life and try to contribute for the continuation of the relationship.

February is the second month in our calendar year. This month we celebrate and focus our attention on relationships. Relationships are a critical part of our lives and influence us in many ways. Positive relationships contribute to our sense of satisfaction, positive self regard, and balance. Within positive relationships, giving is a joy and receiving is a privilege.
