Why Do Relationships Have To Be So Complicated?
Inquiry: Why do relationships have to be so complicated? I believe most relationships encounter those sinkholes and because of certain limitations in our lives, we sorta sink up.*
Response: Interesting, "sink up" compared to "link up" and "limitations" compared to "improvements." [We sink up when we hook up with an incompatible belief or incompatible individual.]
[Why do relationships have to be so complicated?]
They are not supposed to be BUT the further we move away from our natural selves it becomes harder to blend in healthy ways into a sustainable relationship (romantic, "friend," family, children, work, the environment).
The more we operate using unnatural thinking, ideas, beliefs, philosophies, values, social customs, gender roles, popular notions, traditions, practices, [chauvinisms], etc., the harder it is to come together to create something that is natural, feels natural and supports both spirits to their fullest degree of expression.
It only takes one belief or weakness to impede, which is why we must examine and question ourselves.

By the way, your question and reflection is the type of ongoing inquiry that opens us to possibilities and discoveries.
