It’s Normal to Struggle in Relationship

For those of us challenged in relationship: Relax. The truth is that most of us have had inadequate training on how to be a mature adult relationally. It’s likely that immature adults trained us, so we can only be what they transmitted to us. So, no need to beat ourselves up when we are making a mess or hiding out in our relationships. It’s quite normal. That is, until we decide, and choose, to become mature and grow ourselves up, thus becoming who we already are. Then with new context, new tools and new training, we can begin to have more mature, honest relationships. And, “mature and honest” isn’t what we think it is. Be willing to be surprised. Keep relaxing into that vulnerable, aching heart and keep learning with great humility.
