Accept that change is a natural part of relationships from "summary" of The New Monogamy by Tammy Nelson
In any long-term relationship, there is an inevitable ebb and flow. The connection you have with your partner will evolve over time, shifting as you both grow and change as individuals. It is essential to recognize that change is a natural part of relationships, and it is something that should be embraced rather than resisted. When you accept that change is an inherent aspect of being in a partnership, you can approach it with a sense of openness and flexibility. By acknowledging that change is a normal occurrence in relationships, you can set realistic expectations for the dynamic between you and your partner. It is unrealistic to expect that your relationship will remain exactly the same as it was in the beginning. As you and your partner navigate life's challenges and triumphs together, your bond will inevitably transform. This transformation can be positive, leading to a deeper connection and understanding between you and your partner. When you resist change in your relationship, you may find yourself feeling frustrated or disconnected from your partner. Instead of viewing change as a threat to the stability of your relationship, see it as an opportunity for growth and exploration. Embracing change can allow you to learn more about yourself and your partner, fostering a sense of intimacy and connection that can strengthen your bond. As you and your partner evolve, it is important to communicate openly and honestly about your needs, desires, and fears. By engaging in open dialogue, you can navigate the changes in your relationship together, finding ways to support each other and nurture your connection. Remember that change can be a catalyst for growth and transformation, both individually and as a couple. Embrace the evolution of your relationship with curiosity and an open heart, knowing that change is a natural and essential part of being in a long-term partnership.
