When you want to put money into a bank or credit union, you typically have to fill out a deposit slip. The deposit slip generally shows what day and lists how much was put into the account. We use this slip as a reference for how much our account is growing. The bank or credit union uses the slip for the same purpose and as a check and balance system. Relationships can be looked at in the same manner.
In the relationship bank you should deposit time not that you have to keep up with every minute and hour, but you must put in the time in order to make a go at starting and keeping it healthy. You should deposit commonality. Having things in common gives you the opportunity to bond together. Liking and doing things and events that both of you enjoy creates comrade-ship, and that leads to depositing pleasant memories.
Remember to deposit attentiveness. Paying special attention to others wants needs and desires can go a long way in sealing the relationship. Affection checked on the deposit slip creates a warm environment each time you are with one another. Listening placed in your relational bank gives voice to your intimate thoughts. Listening sets up a give and take in your dialogue which causes you to deposit sharing into your bank.
As your relational bank begins to get full, you make your biggest deposit. You deposit love. You show your love by depositing the up most of care in all that you do and say.
The special touch the endearing phrase, the inside joke that only the two of you know; The joy the sorrow that have knitted two hearts and souls as one to cement the love you have one for another.

Your relational bank is now full, but like all accounts you must keep a periodical check on its transactions. Protect your investment from those, who would steal from your relationships. Just as you deposited time, commonality, comrade-ship, pleasant memories, attentiveness, affection, listening, sharing, love, and care, keep in mind that they can be taken away without official notice.
Check your relational deposits more often than your bank sends out a quarterly report. Check them daily, weekly monthly and yearly. This is a life investment that pays big dividends which promises you a lifetime of benefits if you deposit with your heart.
