We down right need them to move through the myriad painful experiences this life brings all of us. And, we desire them to share in the beautiful and wondrous moments as well. A soulful eye gaze with a trusted other in a moment of hurt or delight, feels so good. The quality and vital essence of our relationships matters immensely. We all desire connection, to feel truly seen and to feel valued, on a regular, if not daily, basis. This is ESPECIALLY true for those of us in committed marriages and romantic, intimate partnerships. We quite literally, in our bones, long to feel understood and “felt.” Dr. Sue Johnson, esteemed couples researcher and author of “Hold Me Tight,” shares that the people we love in our life are the hidden regulators of our emotional experiences and actually influence, in our bodies, how we feel about ourselves. Basically, if love isn’t working, and we’re feeling unmet and unseen, misunderstood or disrespected, we hurt- we hurt emotionally, spiritually and even physically. Loneliness sets in and we start feeling really stuck. Feeling loved, giving love and receiving love is a primary need we all have. Maintaining a genuine feeling of love, deep mutual respect, tenderness, joy and connection in a long-term love relationship is a desire most people can accept and admit to wanting. And yet, all couples struggle at one point or another and most couples, if they’re honest, doubt their relationship and wonder if it can or should last. This is natural because life is wrought with ups and downs and the experience of suffering and pain is an inherent piece of the human (and couple) journey. And YET, the good news is that there is the very real possibility of experiencing a soul fulfilling, consciously rich, deeply connected relationship/marriage - for the long-haul. One of my mentors, Dr. Harville Hendrix, founder of Imago Relationship Therapy, says that we choose a partner that will unveil our wounds and provide is with all the ‘right’ ingredients to grow into a person that can have a conscious and connected partnership. We’re not talking about a perfect relationship, because that’s impossible, but we are talking about a rich and alive one.
