A couple spent a week together. Before ending the week they decided to talk. they laid in bed facing each other and started to highlight some of the weeks events and how they felt. he gave her positive feedback, she gave him positive feedback. she spoke about her feelings and he listened, at times giving her his idea on the feelings. He spoke to her about his feeling and she also listened.
Both these individuals were intending to explore the other person as a way to create more intimacy, better communication and a deeper understanding of each other. They shared confusion, disappointment, expectations and deep feelings about the week they spent together. All without judgment, blame, accusations or conflict. Their intention is to not only understand each other but understand themselves within each other.
I believe that should be the purpose of every relationship we encounter, and if every relationship, every single one no matter how long or short is treated as a sacred spiritual encounter intended on facilitating our growth then why not try to find out how you did in it ? why go around relating blindly when you can get a progress report and feedback on how to make this journey better, and better yet how you yourself can become better at knowing you.
I believe this couple will continue to be positive forces in each others lives and their talks will help in their growth not only as individual but as a couple. the reason is plain and simple.
This couple seek to be understood by understanding, they choose to explore each others mind, emotions and gain deeper understanding of these emotions as well as the emotions and feelings this relationship brings out. They choose to confront feelings as they happen with compassion and understanding. they lay there facing each other with love because they chose to omit criticism and fear from the recipe they have created as a foundation for their relationships.
I wish we all could have this deep desire to understand each other, I would certainly see a lot more happy families and individuals.
