Equality in a relationship

Equality in a relationship is vital for its success – both partners valuing the other’s contribution to it and embracing the other’s individuality.  Relationship that you need to nurture is the one with yourself.  Self-love yourself, that is self-respect, actually liking yourself, knowing your own onions, being at ease with your own company.  Only when you’ve achieved that can you truly step into relationship as a equal.
