Add You - Expectations: A Key To Any Relationship
Our pastor started a series of sermons about character the day before the shooting at Virginia Tech. I’ve heard from friends in other parts of the country whose pastors preached or are preaching on a similar theme. Was God preparing them to remind us of the importance of godly behaviors, of building character in o
Expectations are probably the biggest danger when two people in a relationship have conflicting expectations. In this situation one person or the other has to give up all or most of what they expect. This can be hard for someone to do. Take our example couple above. If he expects to do no housework, and she expects him to do half, h
There are so many real estate agents who are willing to work for you out there. But finding the one that would work out things well for you is another story. The selection is often the most difficult. While there maybe lots of brokers and agents that are more than willing to offer their services, you can never be su
The same dynamic is in full effect in our romantic relationships. Say your date is expecting you to take her our to a nice dinner. Hopefully you didn’t mean diner, because she will be disappointed, and that can be a problem.
Where do expectations come from ? They come from a variety of places. When it comes to romantic relationships a common driving force is what I call a person’s “inventory of experiences.” Much of this comes from what a person observed of their parent(s) growing up. Even in this day if a man grew up in a home with a father that didn’t help around the house, he may expect to come home and leave the housework to his spouse. If his wife grew up in a two career home where the father took an active role in the household chores she may expect the husband to do likewise. Obviously if these different expectations are important enough to one or both members of the couple this can be a major problem !
In a business relationship if a merchant has a hard-line about his 30 day return policy, it can be a problem for a customer who has an expectation that the merchant will resolve any problem he has with the product.

As a real estate agent I have attended many home inspections. I have found over the years the same few inspectors doing a majority of the inspections. As a realtor I am almost always asked by my buyers "who do you reccomend?". And I always explain to them that my employer does NOT allow me to refer home inspectors f
Expectations are probably the biggest danger when two people in a relationship have conflicting expectations. In this situation one person or the other has to give up all or most of what they expect. This can be hard for someone to do. Take our example couple above. If he expects to do no housework, and she expects him to do half, he is not willing to do any, and half may be her minimum. This leaves little room for compromise. The consequences for their relationship can be severe.
In the case of conflicting expectations a great deal of maturity may be required of one or both people in the relationship. One or both parties will have to decide that the relationship is more important than their expectation.
Next time you are in a relationship that is showing some strain, try to see if the other side is expecting something different than you. If so try to understand why they expect things to go differently. Wherever possible put your relationship before any of your expectations. Your relationships will be stronger for it !
