a couple's prayer
All relationships have their moments of delight and, at times, the challenges. It is the challenges that can make or break a couple. For Roger and myself, we have had many moments of joy and happiness; and like most intimate relationships we have had stresses that stretched us. We were nearly at breaking point about three years ago and it seemed like there was nowhere to turn. It is not an easy time as anyone who has been there knows. Among other things we were blessed with a moment of grace that saw us discover our 'prayer', our affirmation, our call to action. Call it what you will... it worked for us.
We both knew that we wanted to be happy and that we wanted each other to be happy. We also knew that inner and outer peace was of paramount importance to us both, and in turn, to our children. However, we were really stretched and could not see a way forward. Out of the storm clouds a rainbow appeared when we least expected it. It was a welcome sight - our 'prayer' came to us with ease. We held this prayer in our thoughts daily and it has made a great difference to our lives. It is a reference point from which all our communication and actions stem from. Three years later we have it as the framework for all that we do and say; and it works a treat when one us may act unconsciously and the other gently offers 'the prayer'.
It is simple.
"May all our thoughts, words, deeds and actions bring peace and harmony into our lives".
It aligns us with kindness, compassion, sensitivity and truth.
I share this so that if you and your partner have a need you may
also find a prayer, affirmation, creed or call to action that speaks to your
relationship, to uphold you when you need it the most. May you be blessed with lots of grace and support on this path of love.
