In marriage, someone has to be a giver and someone a taker. I am a taker who married a giver.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think when you're very dedicated to something and you're engaged fully, you become a giver.
Yeah, I'm a giver. I've learned to be selective of the people in my world, because if I love someone, I will give them my blood, whatever they need. In doing so, one can end up with little left for themselves.
There are times we are givers, but others time we have to let others give to us.
To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving.
In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way.
It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.
When you give, give from the place of the heart because it is the right thing to do, not the easy thing to do.
A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover.
In my family, as in all dysfunctional families, instead of parents who act as strong and nurturing role models for their children, you get these needy people who use their children. I was the kid who tried to take on the marriage.
I love to give. I've been a giver all my life.
