Make all your relationships an "eight" or better. - John Salunek

On a scale where one is low and ten is high, we want to live as close to ten as possible. We want to give and get the best in our relationships. Whether it is a friendship, love affair or business relationship, we must not allow mediocrity to be the standard. When we have no standards our lives become so crowded with people, demands and unrealized expectations that we run the risk of losing ourselves. An “eight” relationship is one where there is mutual support and respect. We can be who we are and know we are accepted on that basis. There are common goals; even when we disagree on method, we can support the intent. In an “eight” relationship we give for the joy of giving. We share for mutual growth. We give and get complete honesty. We take what we need and do not fail to give back. An “eight” relationship is one that we do not work on. It is one we work with and for, striving for better as a mutual benefit. “One” means you don’t have it. “Six” is just making it. An “eight” means you are definitely in the way to the top.

My relationship is a strong 5 tbh

If my relationship is not a 10... I'm not staying ;) I had a few relationships over the last years and it took me a long time until I've found a 'perfect' partner. Just then it was possible for the relationship to be a 10, we meet halfway every time. I admit I might have been the toxic one before because I couldn't get over jealousy. Before entering a relationship you have to think twice about it. It's not like buying a hamster, you literally choose a human to love and live with and that can be pretty hard sometimes. This is why you have to learn how to love and live with yourself before sharing it with someone else :) And this is how it'll be possible for your relationship to be a 10 as well.
