When the work presented itself, the fears did as well. <br /><br />Neither of us remained true to the commitment. Instead, we saw only the ghosts of our pasts. Eventually, we only saw the past, and lost sight of ourselves and each other.<br /><br />Given the opportunity to love again, I am committed to living in the present. <br /><br />Thank you for all your insight, and the willingness to share it.<br /><br />Christiancsalex@me.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265169217623533733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158738934691648746.post-84674235301737062802011-01-23T07:31:17.921-08:002011-01-23T07:31:17.921-08:00:Grandpa" is Bill Leach.

I have come to understand over the years that many of the emotional requirements for a strong and vital relationship (i.e., authenticity, honesty, persistence, self-reflection and vulnerability) actually require one to be in a relationship in order to achieve these growth hallmarks. It would be extremely rare for those entering into marraige for the first time to have these qualities already, especially since most of us learn how to be "in relationship" from our parents - many of whom lived for years in a range of disfunctional relationships as our role model.Buffalo Chipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14209206117492982315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158738934691648746.post-36730158123599731562011-01-21T08:52:41.506-08:002011-01-21T08:52:41.506-08:00Wow!
