There are so many different types of marriages/relationships in the world! Detached, passionate, "friends", healing, "parents", activists, best friends, lovers, work partners, family, adventurers, companions, and many others. So what's the best relationship? My own marriage has moved through being many of these different relationships, from passionately in love, to "parents", to healing, and certainly best friends and family, and sometimes we cycle through these again! I look forward to someday being adventurers with my husband, when all our responsibilities lighten . At each stage though our marriage has been what both of us or our greater family needed.
Everyone of us have different needs/pasts/wounds and I do not use a one relationship fits all mentality. I have seen many different relationships in my counseling practice and most of them work for the individuals. It's amazing how we pick the "right people" for us- often times based on the wounds we need healed. We attract people to us based upon our beliefs of the world and how we think we should be treated.
So what type of relationship is right for you? The answer to that is a question! What do you want from a relationship? What's most important to you in a partner? There is no right or wrong here, but very good questions to ponder.
