The Study of Consistency: Part 4

Love is funny.

You can look at marriage as a fourth chakra consistency thing. Whenever you have someone or something in your life all the time, there is a natural ebb and flow for how you feel about it. There are days when it is good and days when it is bad. This is natural and normal.

The last few decades, many cultures have been going through this disposable thing and probably no worse than in the U.S., where I live. Divorce is common. Families being apart is common. People don’t stay in their jobs very long. Neighbors don’t know each other. Everything is temporary. The napkins aren’t even cloth anymore.

This disposable life is superficial.

It’s like the magpie. The magpie says, “I love that! That is so exciting!” And then it forgets about that thing as the next exciting thing comes along. So many things in the world today are exciting and shiny, but they lack depth. There is a depth that comes from really going through the sludge of life and getting to know each other deeper, having that consistency to stay in a space of loving one person or sticking with a hobby until you excel at it.

Some relationships are easier than others. My husband is very easy for me to get along with. It is nice. I am very lucky that I have that in my life. We met in my late thirties, so it took me some time to find that in my life. I had a lot of magpie before that. I also had a lot of relationship trouble and it feels good to have my love life be steady and long lasting. It feels good to plan years ahead.

Everyone has something that is a thread, present throughout their lives. This is the thread of consistency. What is it for you? Please tell us about it in the comments!
