As I remembered past
relationships, I realized that it was never lack of love that caused the
relationships to fail, it was dislike of the life my partner and I had created
together.
For those of us
contemplating marriage in the new millennium, a conscious effort is required to
create a shared vision.
Your work is to
understand your partner's internal logic.
Ultimately, through
revealing and accepting self and other, through paying attention to your love
affair and your life together and always working to tell the truth, a genuine
long-term romance is created.
If we can find a
way, within ourselves and together, to hold off, even just for a moment, from
running from discomfort, it will bear gifts.
Discomfort just
means that a boundary is being stretched.
