What may seem like mutual hopes and commitments early on in a relationship may give way to new priorities later.
New love is abundant with resources. The partners in a new relationship make it their primary priority. In this blissful state, they cannot imagine anything they cannot overcome and believe that nothing will change the way they feel about each other. Their souls feel joined and their individual resources blend perfectly.
Every partnership is different, and resources of time, availability, finances, and outside support are more plentiful for some than others. In times of challenge, those couples that have access to that abundance do have a better chance of success, yet many couples more devoted to each other no matter what they face.
Many people feel that, once they’ve chosen their long-term partner, they will never be attracted to another person. That is a dangerous fallacy. Many people have loved before and can love again if a relationship doesn’t work out. New possibilities always tempt and threaten but partners who love each other are not willing toadvantage of them because their relationship is more important.
Depending on proximity, cultural expectations, and socioeconomic differences, extended family members may put pressure on a couple to make decisions for others that may negatively affect their capacity to care for each other.
The “us” in a successful relationship must remain intact, even if it must be put on the back burner at times. Every relationship has to be parallel when outside demands are high and take the partners away from nurturing each other and their private and intimate world. When raising children, career sacrifices, unexpected challenges, daily maintenance demands, and illnesses take center stage, couples that forget to nurture their private connection can begin to lose their commitment.
