"In a relationship we must "honor the 'otherness' of the 'other' and assume we are two separate people and "cross the bridge into the country of our partner. When we honor the 'otherness' of our partner and empty ourselves to "cross the bridge" we are honoring the space between us, which then becomes warm, loving, inviting and passionate". ~Hedy Schleifer~
"Relationships": Can We Get Them Right?
One of our greatest treasures in this world is our relationships, our relationship to ourselves and our relationship to others.
We need others, even those people we do not know intimately. Just think how many individuals you do not know imitmately, that provide a service to you or your family. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, gas station attendance, airline attendance, farmers, cooks the list goes on and on. However, those closest to us are the ones that we are most aware of and have the most challenges and conflict with, our partner, significant other or family members.
To make the shift from conflict to healing requires a dramatic transition from an unconscious relationship to a conscious relationship. We must begin to understand the goals of the unconscious in a relationship and make them the conscious agenda in our relationship. We must break the cycle of wounding, which brings forth resources we did not know we had.
David Steele states, "We have a powerful need and desire for coupling that drives us into and out of relationships. In recent times, we seem to have developed a need to be happy and decreasing tolerance for delayed gratification. When we are single, we want to be in a relationship. When we are in an unhappy relationship most of us attempt to improve it and eventually leave if it does not get better."
How do we create the love we want? How do we develop the skills we need? How do we have the peace within our relationship and ourselves? Here are a few ideas to put in your tool box.
