There’s a celebration happening in my house! Tomorrow is my 41st wedding anniversary!
Ya…whoa. That’s a long time, I know.
And while I’d love to say it’s all been happy and fulfilling the whole time, I know my hubby would call bullshit on me.
We all know that relationships are often romanticized, but in truth they’re actually hard. And they’re so much harder if we don’t have a strong, committed sense of self and a voice to express who we are and what we truly need to experience and feel to be content in the relationship.
There may be simplicity in meeting and being attracted to another person in ways you’ve never been attracted to anyone else before, feeling that crazy, strong desire to be with them. But that simplicity ends when we’re striving to share our lives with another human being and are constantly faced with lesson after lesson after lesson, about ourselves mostly, but also about our partners. Lessons that we always have the choice to work through or not.
There’s being ourselves, fully and wholly, as confident, independent people who know that we can survive on our own. That’s a lesson.
There’s staying as that person, holding our own in the face of wanting to be closely connected to this other person and not losing ourselves in the desire to have that romanticized life with them. That’s a lesson.
There’s using our voices to express ourselves and our needs fully, without hesitancy or fear of causing an upheaval or going against the often ridiculous grain of social expectation that suggests women are less than and men are not to be vulnerable. Remember that I teach how to get what you want when you use your voice? This is it. That’s a lesson.
There’s riding the waves of growth and awareness as individuals and as a couple that changes us in so many ways, usually just when we’ve gotten comfortable with who were 5 minutes ago. That’s a lesson.
There’s the normal life cycles of age, maturity, and changing needs and lifestyles that we need to pay attention to so we can adapt as we care to. They are all lessons.
There’s pure and vulnerable honesty, forgiveness, and even surrender that cannot be taken out of the context of who we each are in the relationship and who we are to ourselves. That’s a big one.
There’s understanding what choices we make that are guided by our shadows or pain points over what we really true need in the relationship and consciously choosing the relationship over the conditioning.
And there is so much learning in what we see for ourselves, in our partners, and in between that we need to take in as awareness; sit with it, ponder it, look at it through the lens of our authentic selves and decide if it continues to fit with the relationship.
So as we prepare to assess, keep what works and discard what doesn’t, I want to thank the Universe for the lessons. For the times when the hard stuff was staring us right in the face, reminding us that partners get no where without each doing their own work, then coming together as a separate entity defined by both, called the relationship. It’s that work that keeps relationships strong. It’s also that work that allows us to end our relationships when we need that too.
As I write this, my hubby is asking Alexa to play some music in the kitchen. She chose to play a radio station who’s first song is one of our favourites by Ed Sheeran. Clearly the Universe isn’t always tough with her lessons.
Sometimes she just wants us to remember to dance.
On it.
