- Make it a priority. If you want a successful relationship, you give it all you have. But, this only works if you make the relationship your priority. Everyone has a set of priorities, it may be work, family, school, religion, etc. And, sometimes even if we want family to be our first priority, it can take a back seat to work, or something else. So, to give a relationship your all you have to first determine where you want it to fall on your priority list. Then ensure that is where it stays.
- Pray for strength. If you want to give your relationship your all, you have to recognize that sometimes it is not possible. There are times when life in general is going to get in the way. However, if you pray for strength from god to help you to either still give what you can during these times, or make your loved one know your intent during these times, you will be fine.
- Extend trust, be trustworthy. Part of giving a relationship your all is extending trust to the person with whom you have a relationship with. You have to put yourself out there. If you do not trust someone enough to let them in, let them see vulnerability, and who you really are, you can't expect them to do that for you. This is part of giving someone your all. It is critical and a key component of a true relationship, one that will last.
- Work to better yourself and make necessary changes. If you want to give your relationship your all you have to recognize your own flaws. Maybe you are quick to anger, quick to assume, slow to forgive, or some other speed at something else. It does not matter the flaw, part of giving your relationship your all is working to better yourself and make the changes necessary for you to grow closer to your partner.
- Be the person you want your partner to be. Part of giving a relationship your all is becoming the best person you can be. So, if you do not know how to do this, simply ask yourself what attributes and qualities do you want in a partner? Do you want someone who is loyal? Trustworthy? Attractive physically? Someone funny? Intelligent? Smart? A good conversationalist? Or maybe even all of the above? Well, if that is what you want from someone that is what you need to try and be. If you do not try and be or have the qualities you want your partner to have, you are not giving your relationship your all.
