I can go to hear my favorite musician that a friend invited me to for the evening. And my significant other wants me to go to her friends party. I can stay at a concrete, non-engaged, intellectual, perhaps somewhat emotion filled place inside myself as to how I process this. I will forego my concert because I care about my partner and will give up what I want. Or I will have a strong boundary and go to what I want and do what I need for me. And I am tracking who did what for whom. How many times she did for me, I did for her, etc.... the reason it might not be easy to track what I am saying is that I am talking about transcending this level of day to day choices, and moving towards of path of genuine love for the self or the partner. What will my partner experience if I do my event? What is the importance to my partner of going to her event? Will I set a boundary and take care of me, or will I check in with my partners heart and learn the true importance for her. And will she give me the verbal and nonverbal cues as to the true importance, and is her love in tune with me, to where she will learn the importance for me to go to the concert. At this level of love, of nurturing the spiritual growth of each other, the word sacrifice does not penetrate the sacredness of the connection. When in a level of distress with your partner, this level of love is usually not accessible.
