Our world has changed rapidly and men and women struggle to redefine how relationships can be more rewarding.
Being able to identify and then deal directly with the problem can put couples on the right track for improvement and connection, rather than retreating or ending their relationship.
Women used to know who they were. They were defined by the duties they inherited from their mothers as instructed by the
culture. Not all women were happy with this lack of choice. Now all bets are off as women can be anything they desire. With this freedom comes the responsibility of choice, the complexity of diverse roles and the limits of time and energy. Some find
themselves constantly worn out and anxious.
Learning about human limitations and focusing on what is most important can help create a more reasonable goal of “doing it all”.
Whether one has chosen to remain single or finds himself or herself suddenly in that state, support for more confidence, strong self-esteem and minimized isolation is sometimes needed. If there is grief, it does not have to be dealt with in solitude. If there is a desire to find a partner, options and new experiences are explored.
