There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you’re too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own. . Morrie Schwartz
About This Quote

You have to be able to be flexible when it comes to relationships. In business you negotiate to win. In a relationship you negotiate to find a happy medium where both parties are happy. Love is different.

Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own. Relationships require a lot of communication and listening, but you have to make sure you are not giving up too much in the process if this is the type of relationship you want.
