MARRIAGE AND FAMILY Oft times issues in a relationship start out with small beginnings, and picks up "baggage" along the way as they play their selves out to becoming a conflict. Some times the accumulated baggage mostly consists of other unresolved issues, but in combination outweighs how the current conflict was started. Thus giving evidence of the importance of "doing the dishes" after each meal, when we wait, as the above example illustrates, until the "sink" is full the task at hand can loom large! The thinking processes that works to allow this to happen are often elusive and difficult to manage and/or understand. Becoming knowledgeable of how the thinking/emotion process works helps put you in direction of the outcome! Marriage and family relations often present unique issues that bring about misunderstandings that results in confusion! From those that ride along reasonable smooth to those whose wheels have completely fell off the wagon! Sometimes a spoke at a time until there seems to be little left to salvage. Some relationships start out well and with the ingredients for success but somehow go awry. Others start out with and extra bump in the road. Many obstacles come, from individual expectations not being met to the misunderstanding of the expectations to begin with. Then there are the issues that come with 2nd and 3rd relationships and with step families and children. Add to the mix, is the question of what role the other is expected to play in the relationship and how disappointments are dealt with? How the individual adapts to the changing waves of the relationship as it evolves over time tests the maturity of all. The challenge of keeping the wheels on the wagon is one thing. Putting them back on after they have fallen off is another. Desire, willingness, and commitment all play a role in the success of a relationship, as well as mending it when it is broken or falling apart.
