Critical Tools To Help Improve Your Relationship.

“For one human being to love another, that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks… the work for which all other work is but preparation.”
– Rilke

I want to share my perspective on relationships with you:

Relationships are hard.

Relationships are never, ever perfect and require huge investments of time, energy, a willingness to compromise, and a willingness to be influenced by the other regularly.

Combine this with whatever unique triggers, differences, trauma, preferences, needs and wants that any two people will inevitably experience over time together, and then throw in the stressors of life such as commutes, work, finances, loss, illness and more, relationships can hold the potential for maddening frustration, disappointment, grief, and soul-trying challenge.

Valentine’s Day is only 11 days away and perhaps, like so many of us, the topic of relationship is on your mind: whether or not you want to be in one, how to find a match, how to nurture and keep a relationship strong and healthy, the mystery of relationship and why it sometimes feels like so much work… etc.

You’re not alone in contemplating these questions – particularly the question of how to nurture and keep a relationship strong and healthy – which is why today I want to share one of my archived blog posts with you, “A Care Package For Your Relationship.”

This article shares my opinion about the reality of being in a couple and offers practical and actionable tools to help you nurture and strengthen the partnership you’re in. Be sure to read through until the end to find the list of additional resources I recommend to support you with this!

So please join me in reading this latest letter from the archive while on maternity leave posts.
