I Want This to Work

this is going to be a post of quotes that stop me in my tracks while reading. i just want to keep it somewhere that i can refer back to. i got this book because i want our relationship to thrive, especially in these times. it feels like there is no end in sight. anyway, i digress....

01/05/22.

Like many of us live within relationships that at best feel inadequate and at worst feel unbearable. We stay in them because we get caught up in the concept of “making it work.” Unfortunately, these relationships don’t honor our needs, feelings, experiences, goals, and dreams. They become a catalyst for the loss of the self, when really they should be a catalyst for growth.

I define modern love as the act of honoring both people in a relationship. It is not love if you do not honor the self, and it is not love if you do not honor the other.

Self-loss and relational loss are two sides of the same coin: we betray or abandon those we love the most when there is nothing left within us. Rather than being open and transparent, we communicate without respect for ourselves or our partner.

Relational thinking requires you to examine how to show up fully as yourself while helping your partner to do the same.

Relationships are a series of moments in which we decide whether to honor the self or diminish it.
