Today’s hyper-individualistic, highly mobile society has made it difficult for people to build lasting relationships. And social media and online dating have made friendship – something that for centuries has been regarded as a key to personal fulfillment – more superficial and rare. But you and your person have managed to build a friendship, created a good foundation to build, nurture, and grow a romantic relationship on; and now, you’re entering into the emergence stage.
What is a Romantic Relationship?
A romantic relationship is a passionate, interpersonal relationship that involves emotional and/or physical closeness characterized by specific expressions of affection and intimacy. This is the part we all like and love so much; however, there’s another side – the true purpose of relationships, and that is to help us heal and grow as individuals. As such, we enter into the emergence stage.
Emergence is the process of something coming into view or becoming exposed. In this stage, you will spend the first 6 months to a year, flushing through your old programs, concepts, patterns, and beliefs about relationships. Your past pains and fears come to the surface. They have to emerge so that you can face them, understand them, and overcome them. So you can finally let them go.
The Relationship Is Not Working?
This does not mean the relationship isn’t working, it’s just a sign that the relationship is transitioning to reality. This is also the point when one or both individuals may want to run away or end the relationship. Because this is when the real work begins. Work that you or the other person may not be ready, willing, and able to do.
As adults, we get into relationships with the people that best match the version of the inner child within us, so we can help him or her heal on an emotional level. Your person, when conflict arises, is helping you see yourself. See the parts of you that still need some work. This work is not easy, or fun, but it is essential work, that if handled with care, love, and kindness can really deepen and strengthen your relationship.
Remember relationships are made up of two individuals, when there are “relationship issues”, it’s the individuals that need help. As the individuals get better, so will the relationship. Relationships are here to make you conscious, not to make you happy. You are responsible to make yourself happy. The more you heal and grow, the easier that becomes.
