Making It Work: Shared Power In any relationship, problems arise regardless of how "right" we are for each other, of how hard we have worked to build the relationship, and even of how solid and stable we feel together. It can be frightening to look squarely at what is difficult and hurtful.
In a relationship or marriage there is a need to communicate effectively, and through this communication develops power on one end or the other. Power is not always a bad thing, but it does have the ability to become something that can make or break how that relationship is going to turn out in the long-run.
