Every relationship has issues, every single one.
Some have more, some have less. Some have big issues, some have small ones.
Every relationship has conflict that has to be resolved, differences that cause conflict, and conditioning from the past that gets in the way of being in love with each other.
“Issues” do have to be worked through. They don't go away, disappear, or dissolve because you ignore them long enough.
For most couples, working through your “issues” feels like very hard work. For many couples, it feels nearly impossible.
Which of the following sound like what you have said or felt?
“My spouse just doesn't get it, despite my having said it a thousand ways.”
“I've tried so hard, for so long, without making any progress, it hurts to care now.”
“My spouse is so, 'sick, crazy, evil and weird' that there's no hope.”
“We have something bad in our past, and we don't seem to be able to get over it.”
“I made mistakes, and I've apologized, but my spouse won't forgive me, and forget forgetting about it. My spouse just won't let it go.”
Those are all symptoms of not having worked through “issues” together, and there's good news and bad news.
The bad news is: “You are the only ones who can resolve these problems.”
Ready for some good news?
Here it is: “You are the only ones who can resolve these problems.”
It's not impossible, and it doesn't require miracles.
You can do it; you have the power to create the relationship that your hearts deserve.
