So often in life we think we know what other people want from us in relationships, be they parent / child, husband / wife, friends, and we often make decisions that we think are in their best interest, only to find out that we haven't actually taken the time to stop and ask that person what they really do need from us in that situation. I've learned now that we need to always ensure that we keep the lines of dialogue open.
We also have to learn to give what we want to receive in our relationships. If you want love, affection, attention, understanding, the be bold and give it first. It allows others a chance to open up and give us what we need in return. I suppose it is a case of lead by example.
