“Most people in the western world have two or three relationships in their lifetime. Some people have all those relationships with the same person.” Ester Perel.
Long-term relating is a journey.
There are many twists and turns along the way.
As we get older, we often get wiser or at least less tolerant, and our relationships are also
invited into change.
This is challenging at a minimum and sometimes devasting.
We find ourselves trying to navigate what can feel like impossible choices.
Yet a precious invitation emerges at each of these cross roads.
The capacity of our relationships to evolve, grow and change is often the pivotal piece that
makes or breaks us.
My 30-year relationship is in the third version of itself.
When I look back to where we began, I hardly recognise the people and ways we were
together.
Sure, some elements have stayed the same.
Our love. Our commitment and respect for each other.
But many other aspects have evolved and shifted, allowing us to grow together.
Don’t get me wrong, it was not always easy.
We have been forced many times, to face truths within ourselves and each other and at
times did not know if being together was even possible.
One of the guarantees of aging however, is that sex, our bodies and pathways pleasure also
change.
When our relationships can honour rather than obstruct these deepenings, magic happens.
