There is an inverse relationship between control and growth. The more you have control over something, the less it will be able to grow.
If two people are in constant struggle to gain control over their relationships, whether they are professional, social, marital, or intimate, the relationship itself will become stymied. As the evolution of life continues, the people will continue to grow and sooner or later, they will eventually grow out of the relationship. Unfortunately, when this happens, the relationship can even get to the point that it dissolves violently. So if we desire our relationships to grow and be a benefit to us, we must learn to relinquish control over the relationship. What things can we do to ensure that we are letting go of the control wheel with the relationship?
