The Work In Relationships
Relationships require consistent effort and dedication, which can be both challenging and rewarding. The understanding is that marriages or romantic partnerships, particularly in modern times post-Industrial Revolution, are influenced by individual choices rather than imposed societal norms. This shift has led to heightened expectations from partners, where each individual often expects their significant other to fulfill multiple roles. Engaging in couples counseling can be approached not as a sign of failure but as a proactive measure to strengthen one’s relational skills and understanding.
