How to Take Control of Your Relationship - Take the Reigns and Don't Spare the Whip

Ready to take control of your relationship? Ready to assert your self and take the reigns? Ready steer your relationship the way you want it to go instead of relying on him to make the decisions all the time? Good. Then let's begin. Here's what you will need to do to take control of your relationship.

Assert Yourself

It's no good being timid and letting yourself get pushed around. It is important to assert yourself in any relationship. Just like horses and dogs, men respond to confidence and assertiveness. They are bossy when they know that nobody's going to say no to them but as soon as you assert yourself he'll back down and give you the respect you deserve.

Making Sacrifices

Most people have to make sacrifices in order to be together, but there is a limit to how much you should have to give up. If it's usually you who ends up making the sacrifices then it's time to turn the situation around and make him sacrifice something for a change. If he complains tell him that a relationship is about compromises and that it's his turn to compromise.

Taking Responsibility

It's all about give and take. You can't have all the freedom and control without taking some of the responsibility too. Take some of the responsibilities off his shoulders and share in his troubles. This will give you more power and show him that you are deserving of respect. This is a great way to take control without causing a conflict. In most cases he will thank you for taking the responsibility of his back.

Sharing the Power

These days, most couples share power and make decisions together, this way both partners get to be in control. Of course it's not always realistic to make joint decisions so somebody will have to step up to the mark. But make sure you don't take too much power away from him or he'll lose his confidence and self-respect. The trick is take control of your relationship without him even noticing.
