Thinking I would like to start something new that I’ve been sharing with the couples I work with called “Relationship Connection Points.” Well here’s a go at it.
Relationship Connection Point:
It’s super important to understand your past.
Why, because it is our earlier life experiences that shape who we become and how we engage and “love (in action)” in relationships.
Dr. Alexandra Solomon purports that “as children, we are basically “students” in the “classroom” of our family system.” What we take in from the family classroom teaches lessons about “closeness, affection, trust, emotions, power, gender and how to handle differences” and/or conflict between people. If we understand this, how would we engage with one another going forward? My hope in my own life is that we operate from a place of knowing that how we show up in marriage initially comes from a place and just like school, we may have to learn some new concepts in order to grow.
