Growing into a happy, healthy relationship

from Authentic Living

We have arrived at adolescence in our understanding of relationship—in other words, we have a long way to go. But, well, what do we expect? Only 150 years ago, marriages were often still arranged even in first world countries. We arranged for a good dowry, good property, money, inheritance, prestige, even good teeth and good hips. So this thing of marrying someone we love is new, and we have only begun the work of understanding how to do it. But you know what typically happens in adolescence: we fall in love and out of love very quickly.We stumble and bumble and slowly make our way into something we might call a forever relationship. But because we are stilling learning what it means to have a healthy relationship, these forevers often don't last. But is is possible that each stumble and bumble, each forever that doesn't last can teach us a little more and a little more? If so, what are we learning? Tune in to learn more.
