Healthy Relationships

Successful healthy partnerships or marriages occur when two whole people come together and walk hand in hand through life. They go down the same path together, but they are separate beings-joined at the hands as they walk along life. Two distinctly different people. In contrast, those of us in unhealthy relationships walk through the path of life with our partners like we are walking a three-legged race with our arms tightly around each other's waist-so heavily enmeshed in one another and very unstable on feet. In order to have a successful relationship, we must become whole people in our own accord. We must put our happiness above other people's and trust in the process of making ourselves whole and happy first. It is only then when we have a healthy relationship with ourselves that we attract other healthy relationships into our lives.
