92% Of relationships could be saved if…
The idea that 92% of relationships could be saved if more people simply had the courage to have those tough conversations hits close to home. It's a reminder of how many relationships are hanging by a thread, just waiting for someone to take that first step into real, honest talk that could pull them back from the edge.
Imagine how many friendships, love stories, and family bonds could be mended if we were just willing to step into those uncomfortable conversations.
Growing up in a home where keeping things bottled up was the norm makes this realization hit even harder. It's tough to admit, but it's true for many of us. Yet, here's the hopeful part: it's never too late to change the script.
When we shut down and stop talking just when we need connection the most, we're really sabotaging our own chance at something real and intimate.
The intimacy we're all looking for? It's on the other side of our willingness to be vulnerable.
And… this isn't just about us. It's about the example we're setting for the next generation. If kids see us running from our feelings, they're likely to do the same. It's a cycle that's hard to break but so important to address.
Faced with the choice, do we choose to lean in when things are uncomfortable, or do we hide behind our walls, choosing the easy way out but losing so much more in the long run? Sharing this struggle, admitting our fears, and embracing the discomfort could be what saves our connections, enriches our family life, and ultimately creates the intimacy we deeply desire.
Ultimately, remembering that any relationship that doesn't make it through because of choosing to have those hard conversations isn't a relationship worth pursuing. So, I hold onto the belief that what is truly meant for you won’t slip away when you choose to confront adversity. It’s a comforting thought that helps me muster the courage to face those tough moments, knowing that real connections will withstand the storm and not leave you standing alone in the trenches.
