Couples join together bringing with them the learned patterns of their family of origin (how to handle finances, discipline children, organize activities, etc). So the first hurdle couples face is deciding which rules should be used in the new partnership. In addition, each member of the couple brings with them childhood wounds that may have occurred from their families, at school, at church or in society in general. If we learn to communicate in meaningful ways with our partners we can actually help each other heal these wounds and in so doing, experience the deeply fulfilling relationships we first sought to have with the person we’ve chosen to spend our time with.
