Relationships - Which of These 3 Relationship Beliefs Have You Bought Into?
We all enter our relationships with beliefs about our own role and what we expect from the pairing. Here are three beliefs which greatly influence the nature of the relationship/marriage. All couples start out wanting the best for each other. Often they are not fully aware how their underlying belief system may influence their actions.
Three limiting beliefs followed by what to do about it.
Belief 1. When we marry we become one
What does it mean to become one? If one believes that becoming one means having to think and act on all things together it soon becomes apparent that it is an impossible expectation. Each partner is an individual. How each person in the couple relationship appreciates each others uniqueness while at the same time valuing the uniqueness of their relationship becomes the foundation of happy pairing.
Belief 2. We are each 50%, together we become 100%
Much better to think of each as being 100% and the relationship also being 100%. This way of thinking is respectful of who each person is and of the relationship unit. The relationship is a separate unit created by two individuals and thus also 100%. By giving weight to the relationship unit one reinforces that it is a separate entity. Relationships are a balancing act between each individuals' needs to be whole while building a relationship that works for both of them.
Belief 3. One partner (usually the man) is more important than the other partner
This belief is often times very subtle and unspoken. It becomes apparent when one observes the couple interaction. For instance, noting who defers to the other, who makes the decisions, who has to be right, etc. are clues as to the couples' belief system. Better to think of each person being of equal worth. If there is respect for the intrinsic equality of each individual it gives the couple the flexibility to decide how they divide responsibilities and support each other. That way each individual is equally important as is the couple relationship they are building.
