 In
partnership, we need to feel we can share what is closest to our
hearts. Spirituality is a core issue and it would be too bad to
withhold that side of yourself from your partner. However, we also
need to find a balance. Every subject or feeling does not necessarily
need to be shared with our partner. -Sometimes we need others to
share with feelings or beliefs who are not in synch with our partner.
Also, examine your tone. Could it be that the way you speak comes
off as demanding or superior? I suggest you seek balance-share some
of this side of you with others and some with your partner.
 I
come from a divorced family. My parents split up when I was 13.
Should I assume that I'm damaged goods?
Why
would you take on a negative self-identity like that? Life is constantly
renewing itself and so can you. Remember-what happened to you is
not your fault, but it is your RESPONSIBILITY to get the help you
need to work through past experiences that may be damaging your
life today. If everyone whose parents divorced gave up on themself,
we would have no presidents, senators, writers, actors, therapists,
to name a few. This is your challenge and your responsibility in
life to break the chain of generational dysfunction and find a better
way of living.
