Relationships

Relationships are a tricky business. They can bring out the best and worst in us. How can you find the freedom and strength to be yourself while simultaneously supporting a partner? That is the moving target as we grow and change and desire different things from our life.
The goal of a relationship should be maximum benefit for both partners. You need to both challenge and support your partner. Know when to push them outside of their comfort zone and when to pull them back in to safety and reset. A great relationship is one that you and your partner thrive in and become better versions than yourselves as a standalone.
Divorce is an opportunity to understand what was missing from your previous relationship.
It may also be an opportunity to discover who you are as an individual. We need to really know who we are as individuals before we can find our identity in a relationship.
