And I knew that like I was going to start feeling frustrated unless I took on some of the trait of assertiveness better.

And if he took on some of my flexibility a little bit more.

So I went to him, I had the conversation, said, hey, I need you to make compromises with me sometimes.

And this is really important to me.

And it's going to be important for you to be more flexible and more mindful of me at times as well.

And I gave some examples and sort of painted a picture.

And what was really beautiful about that is I knew I had to communicate my needs more consistently and say my boundaries and do it better in real time.

And I did.

It was profoundly healing for me and helped me in so many relationships going forward, especially in things like work.

And for him, he became so much more flexible.

And I saw it really strengthen his relationships with his friends, his family members.

It was really beautiful to see him evolve in that way.

And that's everybody.

That's if you're the type A person, you got to learn that easygoingness sometimes and surrender.

If you're the easygoing person, having some discipline is really valuable.

So I really believe that relationships are not just here for love, although that's a beautiful thing.

They're also here for growth.

And a lot of it's that we're attracted to people that way because

That's our subconscious mind calling us to take on some of those things internally.

And that's how we become more whole together in that power struggle stage.
