Sacrificing and victimizing yourself all the time is not a sign of a balanced marriage. It is great when you love a person so much, that you don’t expect anything in return, but in practice, you should respect yourself first. Doctor Larry Shushansky says unconditional love is manipulative and emotionally suppressive. Mutual awareness and sharing are important for all couples. It is possible to have a peaceful relationship and there should be reasonable conditions and limits that a partner must meet.
