Your relationship with your partner really started when you were in 4th grade, since all the uncomfortable, emotional reactions in you today were formed unconsciously in childhood. You are married to these old reaction patterns, but your adult self is afraid to embrace them. So you blame your spouse, boss, friends, parents, kids, and everything else for your discontent.

This is why relationships fail! I call it Half-Syndrome. You need to return to this inner kingdom of experiences, the other half of self. This is where the work on marriage is. Run, don’t walk, into the fire of your old feelings. There is where all the answers to the test are.
