Relationships are not just giving, and they are not just taking

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. ~ Anthony Robbins

Tony Robbins is partly right, but as often happens with him, it's a nice saying and sounds really noble and wonderful, but it's only partially true, and only for immature relationships. 

In really mature marriages, each person understands that they are there in a very deep way to not only give but to take as well. 

When this is done in a truly mature way, it's quite different from the egotism of an immature relationship
