Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

When there is no respect, your relationship will be no good; it will be a waste of time and resources on each other, it is therefore important to have respect because of the following.

When there is respect, both of you will be sensitive to each other’s’ feelings. Respecting someone means you are always putting them in your equation and would not do anything to hurt their feelings, before doing anything; you will have them in consideration.

Being in a relationship means you are in a team, working towards achieving a common goal, and the only way that can happen is through collaboration from both parties and this is only possible with the presence of respect of what you are in each other’s lives.

Respecting someone means that you will not cross the boundaries that are always put up in a relationship. Things that you know will hurt your partner, you will not do and this will end up building trust between the two of you as you know their limits.
