LASTING RELATIONSHIPS
'We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by
learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.' Sam Keen
Given how much we change over the course of our adult lives, it
seems only natural that we will occasionally experience
difficult times within our long term relationships. Whether they
be with friends, partner or family, charting a completely smooth
course throughout the years isn't always easy. I would actually
go so far as to say that a long term relationship without the
occasional glitch along the way is potentially not a completely
open one.
I'm not suggesting that we need to seek out conflict or
difficulty in order to enjoy a satisfying friendship or
partnership but we do need to acknowledge that people have their
differences and over the passage of time, we change. We need to
be willing to address the issues that arise to allow our
relationship to continue to grow. Sometimes working through such
issues results in a degree of conflict.
