Strengthening
What is Strengthening?
Shared experience and mutual investment are making this bond more resilient. A strengthening relationship can hold more weight than it once could — more honesty, more difference, more difficulty. This quality is built through repeated choices to show up even when it is easier not to.
When you might feel strengthening
Strengthening is a specific form of growing together, which itself is a type of evolving. You might experience this feeling in situations where evolving is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define strengthening.
