Untying the Knot

Communication is the struggle to find and convey words that express and illuminate personal experiences. Pre-marital and marital communication becomes prejudiced by emotional ties that strangle the truth. This complex relationship entangled with romantic undertones must therefore find a way to untie the knot. That which is said to bind the lovers together must be undone before it threatens to choke and destroy a friendship that must emerge. The theory of a knot is, “it must be easy to tie, difficult to untie.” This concept of untying the knot may go against conventional counseling; however, it is the practice of realization that must be a pinnacle to success in marriage. Who are these two individuals apart from each other that would cause them to entwine themselves while they are together? What textile is each made from that makes them compatible for a lasting bond? Or what knot is necessary to tie in order to hold them together?

Unwind! Wouldn’t it be great if at the end of every day or night away from your other if you could simply unwind? Not come into something as tense as a tightly wound knot bound to whatever it was bound to when you left. This is a practice that many happily married people have mastered, yet the quarreling dissatisfied couple have yet even to grasp for the basics of the concept. Too often the ends that are bound by the knot are frayed and tattered needing to separate from the bounds and be straightened out. Some of those tatters need repair and some of the frays need lopping off. So, unwind for a few moments and free yourself of any frays and tatters so that you may be a clean and fresh healthy rope which can help hold a strong, durable knot.
