In other words, if a friend or a colleague does you good or bad, you will be naturally inclined to do the same to them. Brian Tracy, the famous self-development author, describes this law as the most powerful law of human nature. This law is important because it influences most or all our actions.

This law can serve as a powerful tool to impove your relationships. But how exactly? Let's find out.
Well, it is simple. Relationships work if both parties involved treats themselves well, with respect and love.
So when we treat our loved ones well, they are bound, according to the Law Of Reciprocity, to do the same to us. And when both parties are treating each other well, there will be no problems in that relationship.

It means if you want your spouse to show concern in your matters, then what you have to do is to start showing concern in their own matters. If you want respect from your loved ones, show them them respect. If you want them to sacrifice their convenience for your comfort, do the same. If you want unceasing love from them, show them unceasing love.
By doing this you will be activating the law of reciprocity and your good actions to your loved ones will come back to you.
This also applies to bad behaviors. Desist from doing to your loved ones things you don't want them to do to you. Anger. Disrespect. Lack of love. Uncaring attitude. Etc.
Try this little experiment: Begin to take a deeper interest in the affairs of a loved one, say your spouse. Ask them deep, intimate questions that show you care about them. Volunteer help to them even when not asked. Take notice of their faintest frowns and silences and ask them if they have problems. Look for areas to help them. Keep doing this for one to three weeks and watch your relationship with them improve significantly. One of the results is that your affection for them will increase and theirs for you. And they will begin to return your good actions, little by little.
Please Take Note Of This
Keep in mind that this law, like all other laws of human psychology, may not yield quick results. You will have to continue the good deeds for a considerable amount of time to get results.

Also remember, as you practice this law, do it selflessly. Let all your good actions to them be done out of love and not because they will reciprocate them.
