Creating Good Relationship Rules: It’s Tough to Create a Healthy Relationship Without Role Models
If you didn’t have a HEALTHY relationship to model growing up, you may have tried to CREATE one by having relationship rules, guidelines, or a formula to follow.
I know; I was there. I did that. I tried to follow the formula. And for those formula followers, I am SO SORRY to tell you that the formula is never going to work in an intimate relationship. The formula is only going to keep you disconnected and separate.

The juicy closeness in intimate relationship comes when you throw the formula out, SURRENDER to what is, and go with what’s happening inside of you, feeling it completely, letting yourself be seen and sharing it with the person you love. You can do this when you allow yourself to be completely self-expressed. When you learn to let the walls of protection down and come into your true self, by loving yourself completely. Our pain and suffering comes from ATTACHMENT to what we believe it true. We get to learn how our beliefs were formed, so we can find new, more supportive beliefs, and learn to detach from those that cause us so much pain and suffering.

No one wants to feel abandoned… or suffocated…, so let’s stop! If you have any questions about relationship rules, please write them in the comments!
#1 Our Own Relationship Rules And His Relationship Rules Don’t Match Anyway, So Throw Them Out
- Where did you get your relationship rules from?
- Where did he get his relationship rules from?
- DO you know that you are playing this relationship game together because you enjoy triggering each other?
SAY WHAT?!
YES!
When you trigger each other, you discover your LIMITATION. When you discover your limitation, you can GROW into your full self! You can GROW in LOVE! Love doesn’t have RULES.
#2 Keep your boundaries, throw out the rules – make agreements together and KEEP the INTENTION of LOVE
CLARIFICATION: Rules aren’t boundaries, you need boundaries – Making AGREEMENTS. Rules are strict and punishable. Agreements aren’t I’m right and you are wrong. “You did it wrong, do it better, do it my way, my way is the best. What is wrong with you?!”
This is taking your shame and throwing it on someone you supposedly love.
You aren’t actually experiencing LOVE in the moment, because love would not do that, it’s just not what loving someone is. Even if you experienced self love, you wouldn’t do that, because it’s just not what love is.
- What are your RULES about LOVE?
- How are people who are in LOVE SUPPOSED to act?
- What do you think?
- Is there a WAY to act?

Do you realize this is ridiculous?
LOVE is a FEELING. It’s a DEEP heart offering. Click To TweetIt’s GOD flowing through you. It’s in the moment. It’s like tears. There is no RIGHT WAY to do SADNESS or CRY. It just happens. Love is like that.
But we have contorted it in our society, and twisted it, and made all of these rules and attachments to behavior.
When all else fails, bring yourself back into the LOVE. BRING UP the INTENTION of LOVE into your heart.
When love is in your heart, it’s very hard for anything else to exist there. Click To TweetAll of your words change when you saturate them with love.
If you HAVE TO HAVE a FORMULA – the FORMULA would be –
- hold the intention of LOVE in your heart,
- feel your feelings,
- and express them through the LOVE energy.
- Allow yourself to be SEEN by someone you TRUST.
#3 Expectations are premeditated resentment
This is one of my favorite quotes. If you EXPECT something from someone, like your husband to take out the trash, then when he DOESN’T, you will resent him.
EXPECTATIONS ARE PREMEDITATED RESENTMENTS Click To TweetYOU are causing all of your own pain in this example. People are only able to do what they are able to do!

Now, here’s a tricky part… MEN, who as you all know, I think are beautiful, amazing creatures, and when treated with respect and honored, will do nothing less than to try to make us happy and take care of us ALL THE TIME…
BUT! What we don’t UNDERSTAND is that they will have expectations of us that we aren’t aware of, but ALL of them understand it.
Let me go on a tangent and explain this one… actually, I’ll do this one next week. If you want to learn about something ALL MEN KNOW, but women just don’t understand, and a little secret about men, tune in to the next WifeyWednesdayMeTime for more!
#4 Release attachment
ATTACHMENT – this causes ALL of our pain. Meditation brings us into the present moment because our thoughts cause us pain. The present moment is where our pleasure and joy is. Rules come from fear, trying to protect, and trying to prevent something from happening. When you are attached to pain, you need rules
#5 Live with both FREEDOM and LOVE
Living FREE – we all desire to be loved, and we all desire freedom. The #1 mistake we make in relationships is not understanding that you can have BOTH. You don’t own your partner. You cannot control your partner.
Embrace this knowledge: One day, you will die, your partner will die, you will leave, he will leave, you will betray him, or he will betray you. When you can EMBRACE this TRUTH, which NONE of us can escape, you are then FREE. When you can sit with the PAIN of this TRUTH… you are free.

#6 Stop Avoiding Pain
It’s AVOIDING THE PAIN that causes us the trouble and the RULE making.
We get to get comfortable and familiar with our pain and our shame. Then, we aren’t afraid of it. It’s like swimming for the first time. When you don’t know how to swim, its terrifying. When you learn how to swim, it’s a blast (especially naked Swimming) and it becomes something you LOOK forward to. Think about pain like that. Instead of trying to avoid it, or avoid our feelings, we start looking forward to being IN them and sharing them, because we know that it will lead us to PEACE and knowing ourselves. You get to learn what it’s like to let the walls down and come into your TRUE SELF, by loving yourself completely.
You get to learn what it is like to love yourself completely! Click To Tweet
Who wants to work on this tangibly and make peace happen in their life?
HOMEWORK:
- Write down your biggest fear in the relationship.
- OWN it.
- If you can’t find a fear, then find a PAIN and OWN IT.
The biggest PROBLEM in relationships is bringing old pains, and fears into the present moment. We do that because we are not resolved INSIDE ourselves.
Creating peace and deep connected love in your relationship comes from coming to terms with your own pain, shame, fear, anger and resentment.
