Under the surface of any committed relationship reside paradoxes that affect how partners communicate and problem-solve. Recognize them... appreciate them... and use them to deepen understanding.
Paradox! It's so easy to want life to be linear and follow simple rules, in the belief that I can avoid having relationship problems because I OWN THE HOW-TO MANUAL. The more I can let go of that illusion, the more I can embrace the wholeness of life and value my partner for bringing me roses, even though there are thorns to watch out for! Thank you for your perspective.
