Relationships

Relational Health (Lovingly connecting )- Our relationships are literally our life. If we notice, the people, sometimes animals, and ourselves (That ties into spiritual health), are what make up our lives. What stops us from having relational health is our lack of love. In all of our relationships, there are places where love is missing, not fully expressed, and/or not present in some way. There are always new levels of love to bring and it is up to us to bring or create love in each moment. Just because you said “I love you” in the past, that does not create love in the moment. One of the biggest issues I have seen in committed relationships, is that kind of thinking that it is “done” when you committed and got married or in some way pledged your commitment. That’s just the starting point, it then takes creating that partnership on an ongoing bases. So too is it in all relationships. That’s why we are often able to create love in more casual relationships because there is little or no past. Yet it can work as well or even easier in committed relationships if you don’t take the other person for granted. By taking full responsibility for the relationship working, you can create love in every moment. To varying degrees, we all fail in this regard, and then it just takes, “cleaning up” the mess you made, by, once again, bringing love to the relationship. As John Lennon said “All you need is Love”!
