Relational Equity
Relational Equity is the equivalent of money in the bank. In a relationship, we build up equity with affirmation, kindness, love, support, encouragement, honesty, and vulnerability. We need to deposit more than we withdraw. However, by building up enough relational equity, it makes space for the hard truths and difficult conversations. If we have enough relational "money in the bank", then there is grace for real talk, honest conversations.
It's important to always be mindful of our relational account balances with our spouse/partner, so we know when and if we can make a withdrawal or if we need to make more deposits. It's always wise to make sure there's never a negative balance.
