At the retreat last week we were asked what makes our relationship sustainable.
Before we began our relationship, we made it clear to one another what we valued.
Amongst those values, the one that we feel has been so impactful has been our willingness to express & communicate.
From as simple as our needs that day all the way to what we’re challenged with & how we can support one another.
Both of us have our pursuits and we are very clear on what we want in our seperate lives. Because of this, it makes it simple to support one another & share a life together.
We are the first to notice when one another is acting out of integrity. We have the courage to intiate the uncomfortable conversations and we also respect the other’s space when it’s needed.
Rather than make up stories in our heads about what one of us is going through, we ask the questions to be curious & seek to understand.
We don’t look to fix one another yet simply share the space to be.
We come to each other in places of full vulnerability often and always create the space for each other, no matter how busy we are.
This level of emotional intimacy is the connection that we’ve always craved and ultimately what keeps our relationship sustainable.
