Your partner will trigger the parts of you that you aren’t consciously aware of, and vice versa.

At that moment, we fixate on our partners and try to change them, which leads to two big adults fighting it out like kids.

This is common in relationships and something we have all seen growing up.

Most people aren’t able to work through these moments and brush them under the rug. This leads to a build-up of frustration and resentment, and, ultimately, you both disconnect from each other.

What most of us fail to do in this moment is to see what is coming up as an opportunity rather than another burden.

If you wish to unlock more profound levels of yourself and your strengths, you must be able to look at the parts of you that are running the show unconsciously.

These parts of us are wounded children. They haven’t been able to process what happened to us as kids and continue to operate from a place of fear and self-protection.

Your relationships will be the greatest opportunity for you to become aware of those parts of you. There is a reason marriage is half of our deen. Alhamdulillah.

So when a brother or sister comes to me, and all they talk about is their partner or kids, I will point back at you.

The work always starts with you!
