The Perfect Trifecta

Always remember, there are three entities in every relationship.

There’s you.

There’s me.

There’s us.

And each of those entities deserves equal space.

It’s especially easy to forget this when you are co-dependent and/or when you have children.

The US seems to take up all of the space.

But my goodness, forgetting the space and individuality between these 3 entities is where I often see it all fall apart.

If there’s too much space the relationship starts to lose the quality of close intimacy that is so unique to romantic partnership.

If there’s too little space the relationship doesn’t have room to breathe, and the individuals don’t have room to grow.

I’m great at taking the space I need in my relationship; and pre-babies, I was great at giving my partner all the space he desired.

But with children in the mix, this balance hasn’t always been easy.

That being said, it’s still oh so necessary.

It’s like the holy trinity, the perfect trifecta.

One entity alone is powerful.

The synergy between the 3 is love-changing.

With love,
