Every significant relationship in your life necessitates your attention in order to flourish. I am notorious for being the friend who does not return phone calls. It's all too easy to get caught up in your daily routine, whether it's work, school, or whatever else you're passionate about, and lose sight of the importance of developing love in your life. More often than not, I should eat supper with my folks. Coffee with my sister should be more frequent (work meetings do not count!). I need to do a better job of showing Trey how much I care. Any relationship that is neglected will eventually suffer. I've had a lot of friends over the years who I've lost touch with because I didn't make time for them. It takes a lot of effort to be a generous and compassionate person. This is something I'm focusing on this year.
The more significant spaces to consider are character and values, and with regards to character, the key inquiry is the means by which does your potential accomplice handle.
