You are a liability to your spouse or partner if the thought of you brings an instant frown to their face and an ache in their heart. On the other hand, you are an asset if you bring a smile, a glow and quickening of the heart when you come to mind. Are you a weight or a lift to your spouse or partner?

In the course of marriage it is easy to be a liability when you put your interests before your spouse’s. This will always happen when you assume the receiver’s attitude rather than a giver’s. Are you in the marriage or relationship for what you get from him or her or for what you are giving him or her? The answer will tell you whether you are a liability of an asset, because liabilities always demand and always take while assets always yield a return and always give.

Food for thought good people – Liabilities carry a threat in the event of default. Likewise if you are a threat to your spouse or partner in anyway, physical harm, misuse of finances or any harm then you are a liability to them. On the contrary, you are an asset if you are appreciative of your spouse or partner and value and esteem them, making them know that they are either befitting Queens or Kings.

Learn to appreciate what you have while you still have it.
