SECERT OF A GOOD REALTIONSHIP
:::rp::
.
PARTNERSHIP The old gender-based, roledefined model for successful marriage is dead (it died in the 20th century) and the new, evolving model is one of equal partnership in which all responsibilities are shared and/or negotiated based on ability, time and willingness.
2.
INTIMACY Intimacy is now the ultimate goal of committed partnership. It
means openhearted depth sharing and the possibility of being truly known and accepted by another human being. A relationship without intimacy is no relationship at all. Intimacy requires a set of interpersonal and intra-personal skills that can and must be learned to create a magnificent bond.
3. LOVE BEYOND CHEMISTRY
This means making a deep commitment to support the very best in and for your partner, no matter how difficult this may be, and doing it all in a context of forgiveness and compassion.
4. RADICAL COMMITMENT
Most
marriages fail because neither partner is willing to find the courage and depth in their own hearts to say and mean the following: "There is nothing you could do to cause me to leave you." Once this is said, unexpected and miraculous avenues of healing and growth appear.
5. SPIRITUALITY
Two
Partners must be held together by a relationship with a divine and unconditionally loving source. It gives their connection a meaning, a purpose and a reason to be, and a resource that sustains, heals and guides them through all of the challenges of life together.
6. 100 PER
cent AND 100 PER CENT
This is the "no blame policy". Participants in all mediocre and painful marriages are experts at identifying their
Partner's faults and blaming them for the marital difficulties. Hundred per cent means that each partner looks first and most deeply at his or her contributions to any and all problems.
7. WORK ON IT!
Magnificent marriages are made, not born. They are the result of day-to-day effort by both partners. This includes study, workshops, therapy, inner work and monies dedicated to the health and welfare of the relationship for as long as the two shall live. If you are not willing to work on it, then you are not grown up enough to be married. If you work on it, you will reap wonderful benefits
