They Come in Threes


communication
compromise
commitment

Talk it out
or, Talk it in, whichever...
know about each other,
but not everything - that's dangerous.
secrets should only be kept
when they would hurt the other
or for when it's a surprise.
Communication is key for all three.

Compromise when
Communication becomes tricky.
lay down the ego and do it
some other time.
Someone once told me both sides must
Appreciate what they get, and
Take from the other what they aren't given.
but remember to ask.

make Time for each other,
set guidelines and be open with each other.
it's okay to look at others,
especially with a healthy backbone like
Trust.
Commitment means being Dedicated,
and being Dedicated to them, to
Communication, and to
Compromise.
