They both were unhappy. They both wanted it to work. They both fought with each other. They called each others names. She said that he had a relationship and he said that so what? There was no respect, no trust and no love. I asked them why do you want it to work and the answer was for children’s sake. But what kind of parents you are giving to them? They would be scared of thinking of a relationship. You think you are giving them two parents by staying together but in reality you would give them none.
So how shall we do it?
Can you forgive each other? Can you love each other like a blank slate? (We do not write a new chapter of life on the old page. In that case, you cannot read the old one and the new one). Can you respect each other for whatever is there and bring back the trust, if yes then work on it and if not, then do not.
They went back and came back and said that for children’s sake, we can do it all. It took them three years because they had to work upon everything again. This time from the new level. When they got married a default trust was there but this time they had to work extra hard. After three years, seeing them happy and growing together again made me believe in the power of love again and again. They had to love the love.
Whatever is the relationship, bring in love, trust, and respect and you will have the most beautiful relationship ever. Without that, everyone involved will have a hard time having peace. Relationships shall be based on these pillars or else they would always be weak.
