Connected Disconnection In Relationships

By: Dr. Gino Collura

Everyone knows that men are from Mars or women are from Venus. There’s a reason why that book was so popular. Today there’s a very real need for this idea of reconnection because we live in a state of connected disconnection.

We are more connected now more than ever, no time in history. But we are more lonely. We have more mental health challenges, and divorce rates are higher than ever. Including mental health issues in our youth. This manifests in bullying, what’s going on with active shooters, what’s going on with kids, self-esteem, suicide as well, and then you see the same thing with husbands and wives.

How is it that they’re gonna get through tomorrow, when just getting through today is a battle? It’s a battle for everybody, but if we can just equip ourselves with the positive side of why did I choose my partner and why did they choose me? How do I honor that? How do I nurture that? How do I give back to that to make us the best version of us? We can be so we can be the best parents that we could be because they go hand in hand.
