Imagine two mass, M1 and M2. separated by a distance D. A change *of any 
sort* in, say, M1 will not be detected by  M2 until time t = D/Cg where Cg
= 
speed of gravitation (assumed to be equal to the speed of light.) During 
that time, the forces will be out of balance. Further, if the change is 
continuous, then the forces will continually be out of balance.
