Partnership can be described in many ways. If you have found yourself on this page, I would imagine you might recently be describing partnership as painful, complicated or overwhelming. Although I imagine it hasn't always felt that way. I would imagine at some point, partnership felt safe, connected and meaningful.
And you may have found this page, because you are seeking ways to resume that sort of partnership experience.
Biology describes partnership as "Pair Bonding", the act of connecting to another human to increase survival. Humans are one of the only species that pair bond. We, like eagles, connect to another with the biological advantage of navigating life together as a TWO versus a ONE. While it is biologically advantageous for us to pair bond, it also requires a certain attunement to make this sustainable.
And because of our advanced species, life does not always afford us the opportunity to slow down and attune to the things necessary to keep our partnership in alignment.
Indicators your partnership needs some attunement:
Affairs and other betrayals
Difficulty communicating and feeling misunderstood
Walking on egg shells
Avoiding conflict
More frequent conflict
Parenting misalignment
Feeling lonely and disconnected
Decrease in intimacy (physically, emotionally and/or sexually)
Feelings of resentment
Addictions
Thoughts/Discussions about dissolving partnership
