We’ve all been there…It’s the heat of the moment. Tempers are flying high. Raw honesty gets expressed. Things are said that you’ve been wanting to say for a while. Maybe your feelings get hurt. And then, somebody says it:This isn’t working. We’ve tried. But I’m done! I think we should break up.And then, after some time passes, what happens? Well, if you’re an aware, thoughtful, spiritually-minded person – which I’m assuming, if you’re subscribed to this newsletter, you at least aspire to be – then you start reflecting. You start wondering, did I over-react? Did they over-react? Was it just a big misunderstanding? Are you actually meant to be together? Or not?There are so many questions. So many considerations. But… Are you even asking the right questions, so that you can arrive at the right conclusion for you?Because that will make all the difference in whether you decide that it’s best to give it one more go, versus realizing that it’s beyond time to go your separate ways... That’s the subject of this week’s Spiritual Perspective. To hear which considerations you want to make before deciding to get back together, listen to this episode.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!
