When we hold onto people and material things too tightly, we often find that we lose them. Without the correct balance in life many things fail easily. Often times when things fail they fail as a result of us doing entirely too much. When we try to control relationships by being manipulative or forceful in our ideals we often find we push the other person away so much that they remove their presence, sometimes in both the physical and mental nature.

Instead of trying to force your relationship to grow by overdoing things, you have to be willing to believe in the person on the other end. It takes two people to maintain and build upon relationships because a relationship needs two for balance. This means both parties have to be willing to compromise at certain points in order to keep the trend of growth in a relationship on a steady upward trajectory.
