Relationships are all about give and take. It’s normal to go through seasons together where one person might lean on the other more heavily before things shift and the roles reverse. This kind of cycle tends to balance out the needs of both individuals, making them feel supported and understood when they need it most.

During the length of any relationship, there are going to be ups and downs, trials and tribulations. Life will try to throw a lot of challenges at you. How you respond to your partner in these instances can make or break your bond.
