On Success in Romantic Love

Hello Lovelies, 

Last week I posted a Coffee Talk that read: 

“One thing I’ve realized is that we, as a culture, have this assumption that romantic love is supposed to last (happily ever after) to be successful. And, if it doesn’t last then it wasn’t real or someone was at fault. I can honestly say this could not be further from the truth.” -LKM 

I had a ton of responses from this post, and a lot of responses of gratitude. I want to unpack this on the first Coffee Talk discussion. I want you to think about how you were programmed (from family, religion, friends, community, etc.) to view love and/or relationships and/or marriage. With each of us a different lens of this world, I’d love for those that show up to Coffee Talk to share. And then perhaps even try on another lens. Coffee Talk is a space to explore. 

Consider the following quote: 

“Do not celebrate the union of two people who’ve been married for fifty years until you understand what that relationship has done to their souls.” - Unknown 

Many of us are so quick to make assumptions and point the finger when a relationship ends. For the ones breaking up it often can often be isolating and feel like a failure. Divorce, breaking up, separation are often viewed with a layer of judgement and negativity in our culture when in reality it’s a process in which individuals need support and a space to integrate and arrive home in their bodies. 

Sign up for the first ever Coffee Talk Discussion Group- it’s only $9 and it supports me (a female business owner). I’m eager to see and hear what unfolds on Wednesday, January 29th at 7am CST.
