Dating : We Can Work It Out

Conflict is going to happen unless both partners choose to live in denial and avoid all friction. In a healthy relationship, there are going to be times when we don’t see eye-to-eye, but if we’re willing to see each other’s perspective and work on a mutually beneficial solution, The Beatles assure us that we can work it out.

We Can Work It Out

Try to see it my way. Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on? While you see it your way, run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone. We can work it out.

When we screw up, we can apologize, make amends, and let our partners know that we don’t want to intentionally hurt them. Even when the hurt is unintentional, we can reach out and do what we can to promote healing in the relationship.

Oh! Darling

Oh! Darling, please believe me. I’ll never do you no harm. Believe me when I tell you I’ll never do you no harm.

Sometimes, we may encounter resistance to working through our problems. It’s hard. It hurts. It brings up our past un-healed trauma. We may think it’s easier to cut our losses and walk away. But love is precious. If we remember that, we may be more likely to wade in and try to work out our problems than walk away from someone we may regret having left. Any relationship worth having will come with conflict, and we just have to decide if we want to protect our hearts or love with them, even when it’s hard.

Hey, Jude

Hey, Jude, don’t make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart. Then you can start to make it better. Hey, Jude, don’t be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin. Then you begin to make it better. Any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain. Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders. For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder.
