When relationships begin, two roads merge and proceed in a "NEW" direction...not either of the previous ones from whence the union comes. This is why when we break up, it is said that we "go our separate ways." If there's going to be a good and healthy relationship, you have to let it keep moving in the new road's direction...if you re-route it to where ever you used to be going, that means your partner is covering extra ground emotionally/spiritually to move in what is essentially the opposite direction of his/her own original direction;, this means he/she gets worn out faster than you do, and that is the seed of disunion. The compromise represented by the forging of the new road is what ensures that the two of you stay in it for the long haul.
