Living Together in Harmony   © Thich Nhat Hanh
Two young people, one representing America, one representing Europe, were talking about the happiness in their daily lives, the difficulties they meet every day, and the things they want to have happen. The girl who represents North America said that when she hears the birds sing in the morning, it brings her happiness. When she meets her friends, her dear ones, she feels happy. When she’s in touch with what is wonderful in the present moment, she is happy.

Her difficulty is that she is pulled back into the past. The suffering she has had in the past seems to imprison her, and stop her going deeply into the happiness of the present moment. Another difficulty she has is that everything is impermanent, but she wants nothing to change, from her body to her soul, her mind, the things around her, she wants them to stay exactly as they are, but the truth is that everything is impermanent and changing.

The girl who represents Europe said that when she came here she had a lot of happiness, but that she had one very big difficulty: that her father and mother were always fighting. And every time that would happen she suffered a great deal. She really wants to tell her father and mother that she loves them very much, and say to them: "Don’t make me suffer anymore." That is her deepest desire. The girl from the United States also said that one of her deep desires is to be able to tell her father that she loves him.

The girl from Europe said that when she came here she wanted to be able to practice so as to be strong enough to tell her parents that they shouldn’t fight anymore. It seems so easy.

Q&A With Bill & Stephanie O’Hanlon Facilitated by Coaching Circles
Comments (0)




Q. Our children are both in college and my wife and I are learning each other all over again. We often fight the way we used to fight before the children were born. Is this typical?

A. Transition times can be really challenging in couples’ relationships, such as having a baby, when the kids start school, or leave home and retirement. This is the core idea behind Love-Track.com: to help couples move through these developmental phases.

Now that your children have left for college, you are faced with reconnecting and creating a new direction and new vision for your individual and shared lives. It’s not uncommon to have tension and conflict during this transition process, especially if you aren’t clear about what is happening. We suggest you both discuss what you want the relationship to be. Instead of floundering in the remnants of what was and now is no longer, be proactive in creating a shared vision of the future of your relationship. Some people rekindle a close, intimate connection during this phase of their relationships. Others reach outward to make contributions to their communities that they didn’t have the time, energy or resources to do earlier in their family life. It’s like planning an exciting trip together: Where do you want to go? How do you want to spend your time? What do you want to see?

Does Divorce Make People Happy?
Findings from a Study of Unhappy Marriages By Linda J. Waite, Don Browning, William J. Dohert

Call it the "divorce assumption." Most people assume that a person stuck in a bad marriage has two choices: stay married and miserable or get a divorce and become happier. But now come the findings from the first scholarly study ever to test that assumption, and these findings challenge conventional wisdom.
