“Most relationships collapse because in the end the two individuals didn’t want to know more about themselves.”

– School of Life

Life is a great teacher. Obstacles & hardships, victories & triumphs are also great teachers. Every so often, a friend whispers sage advice, and a parent imparts a shard of wisdom – these relationships can also be great teachers.

So then why is it – that when my partner points out an observed insight, and mentions (with kindness, and not malicious intent) that even if I mean well, I can practice being a bit kinder, instead of snapping my judgment. At his words, I find my feathers rustled; instead of listening objectively, I do exactly the opposite: I SNAP to judgment, disagree that there is something wrong with my behavior, and firmly declare – NO there is nothing that I need to change.

What an amazingly missed opportunity to learn from one of the greatest teachers – my partner.

As they say at the School of Life: “Love can function as a route to self-knowledge”; what greater source of love will you find than where you are building your home, and with whom you are choosing to spend your life?

Your partner is someone who has the objectivity of witnessing you and your behaviors from outside, while still maintaining a vested interest in your happiness (because happy you = happy them = happy life). This is one of the many gifts that cultivating a healthy partnership brings to the realm of Love Vitamins for Self.
