Holiday Relationship Tip 3

The 12 days of Christmas Relationship Tips

3. The Sacred Space Between

Typically we think of a relationship as two people, you and you, but what’s between you is a sacred space. My challenge to you is to start thinking of your relationship as the two of you, plus the space between you. It is a real energy field, isn’t it? And you can tell when there is tension in that energy field, it is either tense or not tense, and there is no middle ground. 

Quantum physics and quantum theory tells us that our whole universe is mainly energy and that it is all connected, it is all in a relationship – atom to atom, molecule to molecule, planet to planet, galaxy to galaxy. Your relationship is a microcosm of the vast macrocosm. If you put negativity into that space between it causes disconnect whereas in reality what you really want is to connect.

The Sacred Space Between

I believe the fastest way forward for any couple is to pay attention to the space between. It is a holy ground, a sacred space. You can’t keep putting negativity into the space between as the negativity causes a disconnect. And if the space between becomes too negative then people start to avoid it. Why would I go into a toxic space?

I think when people fall in love the space between is pretty positive – it is new, exciting, fun, and romantic. Then it is small things – a criticism, rolling the eyes, walking away, shutting down, and over time the space between becomes more negative, and like I said, if it becomes too negative, then people start to avoid it. 

Relationship tip 3

Zero negativity in the Space Between – it is holy ground, sacred space. Check with your partner at the end of the day – did either of you experience negativity? More on this tomorrow.

There is a final chapter entitled The Relationship Revolution which is really their vision for the future. In the chapter we looked at last week, they […]

Truth 10: Your Marriage is the Best Life Insurance Plan

By the end of the book readers would know that Harville likes Star Trek and that one of his favorite characters is the Vulcan, Mister Spock. In fact, Harville credits Spock with summing up what he and Helen do. “It was Spock’s good-bye blessing that inspired me: Live long and prosper, and let peace be […]

Truth 9: Your Marriage is a Laughing Matter

The title of this chapter camouflages a more serious philosophical question: as humans, who are we really?  Harville’s contention is that: “At our core is JOY. It is our essential nature – with us from the moment of birth. Birds have flocks. Dogs have packs. Horses have herds. And humans are wired for connection.  Connection […]
