How Building A Foundation Kept Us From Sinking

November 10, 20234 min read

“It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; it's the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.” - David Allan Coe

Lovers!

You may have previously heard the phrase ‘returning to a burning house’? 

That is basically what we realised we had hand-gifted ourselves when we came face to face with the post-honeymoon-period breakdown and the very palpable ‘breaking point’ which shattered our world into a million pieces.

Shattering

Now, listen.

This may not be the first time you’ve heard this but we would nonetheless like to reaffirm the fact that…

 

…disliking someone you love is quite often absolutely normal. 

And yes… 

…that includes your beloved spouse.

Nevertheless, allowing that dislike to fester and exist for an indefinite period of time, in our lived opinion, is not normal, nor is it edifying or fun. 

The great news for us was that running out of ‘like’ was the genesis of our clarity. 

In fact, let’s say this.

Running out of ‘like’ with each other could well be the inception of the greatest pivot/reset that you and your lover ever experience together.

And when you become conscious of this…

…you WILL thank yourselves for it.


Now, there are a plethora of life-changing benefits for building a foundation in your relationship but in simple terms…

…identifying what is important to the both of you gives you the understanding that:

  1. Your ‘lovers path’ need not be defined by the expectations of family, friends, neighbors, past lovers, cats or even your dog — this Sacred Union is ALL of your own making; defined by those who know you more than any other… you and your lover.

  1. You’re setting yourselves up to win and empowering yourselves in the process.

  2. Choosing what constitutes your foundation will serve as the literal blueprint for your Sacred Union and will act as the means for course correction wherever, and whenever, you need.

The 1% Lovers Ultimate Transformation System

The day the direction of our relationship changed and it metamorphosed into what we now call a Sacred Union of ‘1% Love’, we could tangibly feel it.

We cleared our throats.

We spoke our uncomfortable truths.

We paced up and down.

And we then sat perfectly still. 


THEN…

…we authentically shared with each other some more.

With a few more uncomfortable truths sprinkled in, we really did the heavy lifting that night. 

We talked and talked.

Listened and listened.

And even cried and cried. 

We did this until there was nothing left but bare bones.

Having had the most transparent conversation we’d ever had meant that there was nowhere left to hide and everything left to build.

If we had previously viewed our relationship as a house, it was now a smokey scene of rubble and gentle chaos scattered on the ground.

This, lovers, is where the building of our foundation began. 

All these questions came with the precision of a missile but the landing of a duck on a silk pillow (we know… an odd saying but one of us really likes it so it’s staying LOL). 


We were actively dreaming out loud and intentionally constructing our relationship.

Admittedly, after the exorcism of sharing the way we had…

…talking solely about how we wanted to feel in our Sacred Union was exciting!

“What have you always wanted to try?” 

“Do you want to see other people?” 

“When do you feel most attractive?” 

“What do you want our love to feel like?” 

“What communication style should we try?”. 

These were just some of the questions we asked.


It was so refreshing! 

We had deeply discussed who we both weren’t and could now focus on building with each other based on who we actually were.

And, as destiny would have it, the first of our 8 Sacred Union Secrets was born: Foundation.

It consisted of our values, needs, desires and commitments.

And it still does. 

It is our compass and course corrector. 

Having an actual ‘lovers blueprint’ kept us in check and still keeps us in check to this very day. 

Watch our conversation with Relationship Master Coach, Teresha Young, on REAL-ationship Talk: The Podcast.

Our Union is unlike anybody’s that we know, is free from all outside expectation and intervention, and is defined by the only ones that matter… us.

It is powerful.

Malleable.


Has integrity.

And is sexy. 

Full of sexiness. *wink wink

It has that new car smell, if you will.

And who doesn’t like a new car? 

And oh, the places that we have been able to go to? 

The heights?

Stratospheric!

Our Union WAS a practice and it still IS a practice. 

In fact, as we always say, having a Sacred Union of ‘1% Love’ is all about practice.

So, with that said.

Happy foundation laying and happy practicing, lovers.

You’ve got this.

Now is your time to create a Sacred Union for yourselves which is unlike anybody’s you’ve ever known.

A Sacred Union of ‘1% Love’ defined by the only ones that matter…

…YOU.

Much love, lovers.
