Why Some Relationships Work and Others Don't

Relationships are Complex

Relationships are mystifying because we as humans are complex. Every relationship is different and it is important to understand that no two relationships will ever be the same. 

Key to a Successful Relationship

It is important to recognize that even if two people have different goals and spiritual levels, they can still make a relationship work. The key to making a successful relationship is understanding each other's needs and supporting each other's growth. 

Open Communication and Honesty

It is important to communicate openly, be honest with each other, and have patience when things don't go as planned. A relationship should not be a competition; it should be a partnership where both parties can grow together in harmony.

Supporting Each Other's Growth

Supporting each other's growth means encouraging each other to pursue their dreams, being understanding of each other's weaknesses, and celebrating each other's successes. It also means being honest with each other about what works and what doesn't in the relationship. When both partners are focused on helping the other person grow, it can create a strong bond that will last for years to come.

Different Journeys to Personal Growth

When it comes to personal growth, everyone's journey is different. For some, engaging in self-development activities can be an important part of life that leads to a greater sense of happiness and fulfillment. For others, however, the idea of actively pursuing growth may not be as appealing. This is where couples may grow apart. If you fall into this category, it's important to remember that there are still ways to find joy and purpose in life without actively pursuing growth.
