The Conscious Relationship: Time is Precious
b'
Living in a conscious relationship means putting in the time and effort that it deserves. Our relationships should not be a source of constant frustration or anxiety as we have enough of that in our world. Quality time with our relational partners over the years builds strong bonds of emotional intimacy. It is this intimacy that fulfills many attachment needs that we all have.
When needs are not being met, that can cause people to act out verbally and nonverbally so an examination of our relationship is in order. Quality time is the perfect way to block out distractions and focus on maintaining the relationship to optimal levels. We want to be sure all needs are being met, and we are both living fulfilling lives inside the relationship.
