Life together or the resources of marriage.
Living together is a constant compromise between the desire to satisfy your personal needs, a sense of comfort and maintain an alliance with another person.
In marriage, it is important to arrange your life in such a way that you can fulfill your life plans and aspirations, and he does not interfere with this, but contributes to it.
A woman’s marriage should not limit her creative freedom and the possibility of self-realization. For this, it is not enough for spouses to be lovers. They should become best friends. And this is what will keep them in a relationship much longer than sex.
While supporting her husband in critical and responsible moments, the wife has to step back from her claims during this time, leave the orbit called “I” in order to direct all her strength and resources to “we.” Perhaps this is what constitutes the essence of a marital relationship.
As soon as the tension in his field subsides and he can continue to cope on his own, she returns to the implementation of her plans. Changing or stopping the course of one’s own movement is not a rejection of one’s self. This is a tribute to the relationship you are in. Also, this is an investment: you invest in something that then works for you. A sort of long-term project.
If support in marriage is only one-sided, then energy exchange and balance in relationships are disrupted. They are in danger of deformation, followed by their collapse.
