Clarity is an opportunity and is a very powerful tool. It is not often that we take the opportunity to stop and reflect on our lives, which we can easily take for granted. How do I know this? Well, I’ve done it myself. Life happens at break-neck speed. You’re always doing everything for everybody else. You think, when will I catch my breath? When is it my turn?
Clarity starts with understanding yourself and what you want out of life and then, what you want out of your marriage. Easier said than done, right?
The ability to articulate your thoughts and feelings is essential to your personal growth and the growth of your marriage. Clarity also lets you see where you are today versus where you want to be tomorrow. As the quote by Thich Nhat Hanh says, “Communicating with ourselves is an act of love.”
The clarity in marriage is a process of getting to know yourself and your spouse at a deeper level. All successful marriages need two people who are willing to put in the effort and work on themselves as individuals before they work on their marriage together. We need to understand what the couple wants and needs, as well as the expectations they have for their marriage.
The lack of it causes misunderstandings, conflicts, and hurt feelings. We all want to know how we can be more clear in our communication with our spouses.
We may not always be in a place where we can assess what’s going on around us.
What does clarity mean to you? For me, clarity means ……….being present in your life with your thoughts and emotions, without feeling weighed down by anything.
Self-awareness ensures that our needs are met and that our partner has an opportunity for empathy and understanding. Self-awareness leads to a truly loving and mutually fulfilling relationship with your spouse – where you both know how each other feels and what each other needs most to be happy.”
We are all looking for ways to grow and be better in our relationships. The problem is when we want the other person to be the one who changes when it should really be us doing the changing.
When you are in a relationship with someone, you are always trying to compromise. You have to learn how to give more of yourself so that your partner can be happy, even if that means that you are not as happy yourself.
The importance of good communication goes beyond marriage. It is crucial for every aspect of your life, not just your romantic relationships. If anything goes wrong in the process, it will affect your marriage and other factors like personal growth and mental health.
