What constitutes a functioning and healthy
relationship?
The “New Successful Couple” knows that it is very different than in past
generations - it is now:
- a conscious and crystal clear decision on both parts to be together for
the good of both - where growth and self-development are promoted,
encouraged and supported;
- a place where our emotional needs are met;
- a place where the attainment of self-esteem happens;
- a place where you are free to be unique and independent;
- a sacred space where you are free to “touch each other” intimately;
- a space where you feel unconditionally loved/cared for;
- a place where affection and recognition are key elements;
- a place where your feelings are affirmed and validated;
- a place where you feel beauty, goodness, kindness and compassion for each
other;
- a place where you both have the same vision, commitment and desire for the
relationship.
So, how do we attain such a divine state? It takes real skill and is not
achieved without much learning. This level of wholeness as a couple takes a
new belief system, a new way of acting and a real “finishing of the old
ways”. Relationships do not fail because of bad people, but because of bad
habits, behaviors and poor communication skills. There must be continual
work done on understanding the impact of old programming and “rules” passed
down from the family of origin.
Traditional roles, thoughts and perceptions around relationship must be
examined to understand where we need to change and evolve. There must be an
examination and awareness of “the self” as never before. Self-confidence and
self esteem are key components of a healthy relationship. At the same time
there must be a strong sense of passion, commitment and desire. The couple
must ignite each other’s soul.
A half-hearted approach to a relationship always gets negative results. As
in growing a garden, a relationship must be nurtured, cared for and loved.
It must be a priority if it is to succeed. It must be continually “weeded”.
The “New Successful Couple” walks hand-in-hand into workshops, reads
relationships books, and continually commits to learning new skills. There
are many ways of learning today and learning new relationship skills is a
key to its success. We cannot continue in our old ways and expect success.
We must commit to our growth and evolution.
