June 7, 2006Willingness to Let Things Fall Apart for a While

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

Some of my friends’ relationships are in turmoil right now. This is not a cause for alarm; it’s a cause for celebration. There used to be an undercurrent of resentment and hostility in their relationships. Now the resentment and hostility is on the surface where they can deal with it. And they are dealing with it.

Will their relationships withstand the truth? My money says they’ll come out stronger and more committed for it.

Sometimes you’ve got to let things fall apart so you can put them back together sustainably. Sometimes you’ve got to be willing to go into the darkness to get to the light. Through their tough time, my friends remember why they married their partners. And that awareness is lighting the path as they navigate the darkness. I celebrate their courage and wish them safe passage. I wish you all the same.
