Mirabai›Your Parents' Relationship and How It Shaped Yours
When couples inherit patterns of sacrificial love from parents
“My partner and I realized that we each learned to love by watching our parents sacrifice everything for each other, and now we're both constantly trying to out-sacrifice the other person instead of just enjoying our relationship. We recognize it's become a problem but neither of us knows how to receive care without immediately trying to give more back.”
The deeper question
Love learned as endless giving can become a competition that exhausts the very relationship it means to serve.
Concept: sacrificial competition
