Simi, a singer-songwriter, has discussed relationships. She revealed that dedication is the key to a successful relationship in an interview with the Zero Conditions Podcast.
No matter how hard a person tries, a relationship cannot succeed with just one person making the effort, as Simi pointed out.
She emphasized that both partners must be willing to be vulnerable, compromise, and make sacrifices in partnerships.
She explained: “I have a take; one person cannot make a relationship work. I don’t care how many prayers you pray, how hard you work, or how much therapy you do. If one person is the only one investing in the relationship, the relationship is not working; it can never work.”
“It will never work because it takes two; that’s the point of a relationship. It takes two, three, or four. I don’t know what we’re doing these days. But the point is, it definitely takes more than one person; it takes a village.
“Love requires vulnerability, compromise, and sacrifice, but it has to be in an ‘I know that I have to put part of myself down in this relationship, but I don’t want to be doing it myself’ type of way.
“I think there should be great communication; if you don’t have great communication, it won’t work, even if you love that person. Communication is hearing someone and hearing what they’re saying. And even if you disagree, you’re meeting it with love and compassion. Because you’re not always going to be on the same page, you’re going to disagree, and sometimes you can’t stand that person, but you love them enough to find your way back to the same page.”
Making sacrifices is not always easy, but it is necessary for a happy and healthy relationship.
The art of sacrifice can be important when building a selfless and fulfilling relationship between two people. Individuals who prioritize their partner’s needs and well-being while being skilled at compromise are often successful in relationships because of the sacrifices they make. Sacrifice can seem one-sided at times, but it usually benefits both partners and promotes individual growth at the same time. Between partners, sacrifice can develop a sense of trust, intimacy, and respect.
