 We
have been taught that a relationship
is a fifty-fifty proposition.
A more accurate view is that two
incomplete people can come
together
and find completion. This
is a false premise that has had a
disastrous impact on our
relationships.
Each
person must come into a relationship
a whole, complete person who is able
to handle the responsibility for
mutual growth.
Fifty-fifty
relationships usually do not work.
The
premise is simple:
What
if both parties are missing the same
thing?
A
relationship must not be a crutch.
We
want to develop complimentary unions
where strengths and weaknesses have
support.
We
want to be able to stand on our own,
but stand a little taller in a
relationship.
We
want to bring an identity to the
table and have it reflected to us a
little brighter.
In
a relationship, two halves do not
make a whole, and we cannot allow
anyone else to take responsibility
for our completion.
