The Work Inside Marriage
In relationships, marriage is a common next step. It isn't the only system, and there are probably cultures that don't value marriage at all.
Marriage has the benefits you think it does, hopefully. But it also holds hidden psychological puzzles, and work we will stumble upon when we are triggered by anxiety and reactivity. We will have to look at ourselves and truly understand how we behave, how we react, what our sensitivities are, the kind of people we choose, and our addictive patterns.
Interestingly enough, through our own relationship struggles, we will also discover more about our parents.
Relationships really are a great place to stay and work on things. If you can, you must.
