Perhaps because we intuitively understand our need for genuine and earnest interactions, we don't take on roles we can't play well, roles that can’t become a part of us and be roles no longer. Perhaps we intuitively know how much we're willing to give, as well as instinctively know which love widgets we're able to give and yet remain ourselves. And when we don't listen to our self knowledge, our interior compass, things usually end badly.
So I don’t think my wife should give more than she does, I'm not even sure I should give more than I do because we, like everyone, inevitably want more than we're able to do, have, handle. Sure change will gradually happen, but change is inevitable, and gradual is often the best way for change to happen.
