Let’s try a better approach together.

Doing life with someone else by your side can be really rewarding, but it takes a lot of effort! We struggle enough just to understand ourselves, let alone, be understood by someone else! When a crisis hits or unwanted changes occur, it can seem like your whole relationship is crumbling. When your hopes and dreams are shaken, it can make you question if the relationship is even worth it.

Communication takes training and practice. Solving problems takes a ton of mental energy, compromise, and risk. Sex isn’t always ecstasy. Emotional intimacy makes people vulnerable. The daily grind leaves little time for friendship, leisure, and fun!  Seriously… making a relationship work requires a big investment! Mix in some broken trust, infidelity, unforgiveness, old wounds, money issues, illness, jealousy, kid problems, and family conflict and the chances of the relationship thriving, let alone surviving, may seem slim.

But, when you finally get it to work and you find that sweet spot where you feel understood, valued, and connected, that is worth all the effort! Having someone who is committed to doing life with you, who knows you better than anyone else and is willing to live with your struggles and quirks, who wants to see you reach your dreams and wants you there when they reach for their own - that is what makes the ups of life richer and the downs of life more bearable.

Setting boundaries, listening, forgiving, touching, making sacrifices, finding compromises, rebuilding your friendship - they are all things you have the power to do to turn things around! You can make this relationship work. You just need some help to figure it all out and create a plan for moving forward.
