A relationship is where you get to GIVE.  If GIVING isn&#8217;t the goal, the relationship will eventually die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-solid-color\"><blockquote class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\"><p>Then your relationship is already dead.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for <strong>coaching relationships<\/strong>.
