What you are asking does the GOD determine a sacrifice and to uplift the humanity such process is just established, during different time and certain achievements are gained!? But it is not necessary that every time such kind of sacrifice needed! Which way now a days this world is going, wise persons can see that some thing wrong is going on every where which may lead/call the supreme power to its force implant some thing new in the human being so some kind of transformation could take place! Lets watch and pray for that, ask for that energy to face and spread the real thing!!

I think sometimes it helps to strengthen a relationship... but should not always. I think we should practice this in our life.

I think that sometimes sacrifices are good in a reltionship, assuming that the person will never leave you. But, if the person does then all that sacrifices you've made were a waste of time.

I would beg to differ. I think it is not so much of sacrifices that strengthen a relationship but it is compromise that would make it stronger and better and compromise would benefit both sides while sacrifices only benefit one. That is what I think. Have a nice day.

Sacrifice in a relationship is a must. People have different chracteristics. In some ways, there may be conflicting interests between them. There should always be a give-and-take attitude in a relationship. And for this to happen, a sacrifice from one, if not both, is needed. When one sacrifices, the relationship is strenghtened and there will be no room for a broken relationship.

You are right conflicting attitude may remain but it may solve for give & take attitude..

Yes, sacrificing is the main thing which keeps our relationships intact. Nowadays, the relationships have become so selfish that you cannot find any selfless and unconditional love from any of the person in the relationship. But if you sacrifice your egos you will be rewarded with an everlasting relationship.

yes, i do agree. But it comes with a clause. The sacrifices must come from both the sides i.e. there has to be reciprocity of sacrifices to strengthen the relationships.

I think sacrifices have to be made for any type of relationship to work.

Sacrifice, compromise and negotiation - Oh my!! All of these things can make or break a relationship. Why would that be? It's knowing yourself well enough to know whether you sacrifice with a hidden agenda or if you are doing it without expectation to outcome or result. Read 2 Corinthians 13 to understand the truer simplistic yet profound meaning of Love. Compromise and negotiation - No one person in a relationship can have it all their way all of the time (especially when there are children involved in the relationship). There needs to be an equality. That said, there is typically a more dominant personality in the relationship. If that is you - take the time to compromise and negotiate more diplomatically - you may find that conceding strengths the relationship where winning shatters the foundation (for eventually your partners cup will run dry).
