Healing wounds

Do we assume that our relationships will naturally take care of themselves? Do we feel happy and fulfilled in our present relationships? How would you define a loving relationship?

In his book Loving Each Other, Leo Buscaglia asserted that communication is a major factor in the success of relationships. Talking with each other, saying what we feel and mean, saying it clearly, listening to what the other is saying and making sure we are hearing accurately.

How about compassion, sacrifice, and commitment? We usually wait until people have died to express their value in our lives, to honor them publicly, and to express our love for them. Wounds heal quickly when one knows unquestionable that love is there.
