MARRËDHËNIE

We just found out that in Albanian, the word for "relationship" is "MARRËDHËNIE." But here's the really cool part: this word is made up of two other words, "MARRË" (to give) and "DHËNIE" (to receive). So, in a nutshell, they sum up a relationship as the art of giving and receiving.

In many cultures, the concept of a relationship often leans towards what one can receive – love, support, companionship, etc. However, the Albanian perspective enriches this notion by emphasizing the importance of giving as much as receiving. It suggests a dynamic flow where both partners actively contribute to each other's well-being and growth.

The cool thing about “MARRËDHËNIE" is that it is super practical for everyday relationships. It's all about being mindful of our roles, which helps create a balance and fosters mutual respect and harmony.

When you think about your own relationship, do you give as much as you receive?
