Your Relationship Cow
Someone once said, “a problem shared is a problem halved'? Truth is; Happiness shared is happiness squared”. Relationships were designed by God to be a vehicle for experiencing positive emotions but also, as a platform for releasing negative emotions from our system. It is usually difficult to be fully happy without sharing what makes one happy. It is almost like when something is enjoyable, the enjoyment is increased when you share the excitement with someone you care about.
On the other hand, when you share your struggles, even when someone does not solve them, the burden becomes lighter. That is why it is crucial to have good relationships. We need people we can share our joys with, and those we share our pain with.
Rabbi Daniel Lapin was right when he said, “Being without authentic human contact does to our souls exactly what oxygen deprivation or starvation does to our bodies. God created us with obvious physical needs but He also created us with spiritual needs. Connectedness with others is one of these needs and being deprived of this harms us just as surely, though perhaps not as quickly, as the deprivation of oxygen or food”
Prayer: Dear Lord help me to have people in my life that I can share my joys with and people that I can trust with my pain. Amen
