We have witnessed many relationships that struggle and even break up, just as ours did between 1999 - 2001. In 2002 after we both went through some significant healing we worked hard for months and months to reconcile our relationship. We have been going strong now for 16 years and want to teach people how to reconcile relationships. But before reconciliation can happen, healing must take place first.
In that spirit, we will each write about the issue of the week based on our 'old' way of thinking and behaving and then address the issue based on how we govern our selves now within the relationship. It is our hope that people can see how the different partners within a relationship sees the issues differently and how those differences can be bridged so that true communication, respect, honour and dignity can be restored and maintained within that relationship.
We are open to exploring each topic with people in the hopes that healing can start to take place. All we ask is that people respect our privacy as there are some aspects that we are not willing to share publicly and that this conversation remain peaceful at all times.
It will also be a good exercise to see how differently each partner sees, feels and communicates. It is this difference that enriches the relationship but also brings challenges to our ability to communicate with one another. Being aware of these differences and working through them is how we enrich and strengthen our relationship. We work hard to honour and respect our differences.
Our first post should be done today, so keep your eyes open for it.
