Keeping your windows clean (DW#364)
As we have been saying, a healthy and loving relationship between spouses has large, open windows of communication.
Sometimes, however, these windows can become clouded. Even the best relationships have times when communication is not great, there is unexpressed hurt or withholding of thought and feeling. If left alone, the windows will not clean themselves. In fact, they are likely to get more clouded over time.
When we build walls or opaque windows around ourselves to ward off hurt and disappointment, it also prevents us from feeling the joy, love and intimacy on the other side.
To live in safe disconnection is like having cloudy windows - the light of love cannot get through.
So how do we clean the windows of communication between ourselves and our loved ones?
It is quite simple really.
Share your internal world, your thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams.
Being open, honest and vulnerable is like cleaning your windows with water and vinegar.
It is okay if it feels risky or uncomfortable. Vulnerability always does.
But know this: there is no intimacy without vulnerability. No love without risk.
And the reward is SO worth it, don’t you think?
