Ah, relationships take a lot of hard work but the ones worth working on are well worth the effort.

Debbyski is right! Relationships take work, but that doesn't mean the work has to feel burdensome. If the couple works together to stay on track, they'll become closer and understand each other even more.

  As humans we yearn for unity and for individuation at the same time.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.brockman-counseling.com/intimacy/essent.htm">first we are learning whether we can trust this other person. There is a lot of body contact, eating together, sleeping together, dancing, and walking. Then we move into the need for space and autonomy. We find out if this relationship can withstand closeness and allow us to be ourselves at the same time.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.brockman-counseling.com/intimacy/essent.htm"><DIV>
  This is the key... We are not victims.

  And none of these issues would cause the problems if people took responsibility and said something like this: "Honey, I just became aware that I have a deep fear of abandonment that is coming up now in our relationship.
