"The truth is that love is always pouring forth upon us, but our belief that the purpose of relationships is to serve our needs as we define them often blocks reception. Asking, 'What am I getting here' is death to love..Asking, 'What lesson is there for me to receive here?', however, is a mystical key that unlocks your heart." (Marianne Williamson)
We often look at relationships as equations of responsibility, but they are many times teaching tools for our growth. When a particular relationship is painful or seems to have its constant strife, look at it for what it may be teaching you, rather than why you aren't getting a fair shake. Be grateful that you are being provided the opportunity for growth and self examination, with the relationship as a mirror that allow you to see yourself more clearly.
