Relationships are an integral part of human life. Some we are born with and some we build. Whether you agree or not, these are the building blocks of our life. If you are lucky enough, you will find partners who will push you and prod you into doing great things. And if you are not, your partners will hold you down, or worse pull you down. Thankfully, more often than not you will be able to spot the toxic partnerships in your life and manage to stay away from these.
But relationships are a two-way street. You cannot hope to get all the good without doing anything in return for your partners in social as well as family relationships. Whether they are your business partners, friends, your life partner or even kids. Every relationship needs a sustained effort to nurture it to its full potential.
Partnerships are like trees. To get the fruits of this wonderful tree, you need to continually invest in the relationship. Neglect the tree, and the leaves will fall off and the tree will die. We all have had these kind of relationships and partnerships in our lives. Partnerships that we have allowed to die for no other reason than neglect.
Some of these you can afford. But the partnerships that you form with your family are surely not the ones that you can allow to die. Whether it is your sibling, life-partner, or your kids – people who depend on you to protect them from the big, bad world. And as the head of the family, you have a unique responsibility to ensure that these relationships stay healthy and vibrant. And you responsibility doesn’t just and end with you.

One of the best ways to nurture a relationship is to have goals and dreams that you share. And that is what you do with your family. Life is fickle and unpredictable. One way to ensure that all your shared goals and dreams bear fruit for them is to make meticulous notes of your finances. With new devices and software, we tend to save everything in the cloud. But nothing beats paper. Unless you share all your accounts and passwords with all your partners every time there is a change, you need to figure out a mechanism to communicate this to them when needed.
