Till Death Do Us Apart
Every couple promise one another as they come together that they will be together 'Till Death Do Us Apart'
What if we are understanding the meaning erroneously?
In my understanding this statement is not to do with either one of the individual physically dies. It must be to do with the moment when the marriage - relationship dies.
Have you ever seen a dead person - a corpse? Where life does not exist?
Do you recognize the struggle that we go through as we try to bring a dead relationship alive? Any amount of cajoling, beating, praying, begging and romancing the corpse will not bring it alive.
Pretending to be someone we are not, to be untrue to who we are and to one another is the biggest betrayal of all.
Can you sustain being someone who is not you? Can you afford to be anyone but you? The stress of not being you authentically will kill you slowly. Bit by bit you will loose everything.
If you intuitively feel that the relationship is dead then give it the dignity it deserves. it has served its purpose and taught us lessons. Let go and evolve higher.
The other side of the coin is that the biggest gift we can give one another is to be authentically us. We as a society have to work really hard to retain and express our life as us.
Be yourself at all times! Nobody can take that away from you!
