When you have personal and common bonds with your significant other, it legitimizes your relationship! The key to building a strong relationship is to learn to satisfy each other. The larger the gap between expectations & performance, the greater dissatisfaction will happen in the relationship. Dissatisfaction deteriorates love and dooms the relationship. Therefore, expectations & performance gaps suggest you should promise only what you can deliver.Do not make promises you can not keep. If you deliver,you can keep your partner & you satisfied, vice versa.
