All relationships have assets and liabilities.  If it is a good relationship, the assets will outweigh the liabilities.  Your partners strengths will off set your weaknesses and vise-a-verse.

But, if it is a bad relationship, the liabilities will exceed the national debt!  And, bad relationships don’t get better, they only get worse.

So, it is important to examine the relationship and asses what you bring to the relationship and what your partner brings to the relationship.  And, if you are lucky, you will be able to make that assessment quickly.
