In every relationship there is always this kind of game that each person will play whether it is a ball game or card game, it does not matter. The only way for a person to get the game alive is to play the right cards or have the shooter's touch.
In relationships, winning or losing is not part of it. Nobody wins and nobody loses and that will make exactly how great human relationships can be. In every game, you would think that there should be someone who loses and someone who wins. However, the perception of wining or losing is not about submission or surrendering yourself to your other half. Therefore, nobody loses and nobody wins in this game of life.
Each relationship has its own value and significance but it is entirely up to both of you to make the compromise to keep the game going. It might be true that sometimes you want to hit rewind or hit the mute button when you are arguing but as I have said it is all about keeping the game alive.
Relationships are based on certain foundation that will probably predict how far the game will go. Foundation such as communication will do. Communication is the one which involves talking and listening with understanding. And each of you will have to take turns.
In a game, each play is timed like a 24 seconds shot clock and when that clock winds down and you did not beat it you lose the turn. It is somewhat different in relationships. You do not have a specific time to listen or to talk however it would be entirely up to your judgment when your other half could take the turn. It is important that you both know the very fact about this communication.
Lack in communication can kill the game. Shut yourself out and you will eventually lose. Every game has coaches and every time that player does not listen to their coach or vice versa this could lead to disaster. However, in relationships you both are players and you both are coaches. You stand in the same level to each other and it would be pretty much fair if you pave ways for each other and give each other the chance to talk, listen and understand. Therefore, you need to compromise and agree on terms that you both would understand. There is exactly no ifs and buts about relationships. You love him or her and fight for each other not WITH each other.
I have always believed that in silence lie some significant things that people should know especially if they are someone you really care about. Do not ever trust silence as a sign of peace or a sign of being at ease with each other because the moment that you believe this is also the moment that you will lose whatever is important to you in this relationship. Even in silence people think, people feel and people talk. You just have to be smart enough to read the profile and understand it.
