Goals of Our Healing Separation:
Each partner agrees to the following goals for this separation:
• To provide time and emotional space outside of the love relationship so I can
enhance my personal, social, spiritual, and emotional growth.
• To better identify my needs, wants, and expectations of the love relationship.
• To help me explore what my basic relationship needs are and to help me
determine if these needs can be met in this love relationship.
• To experience the social, sexual, economic, and parental stresses which can occur
when I have separated from my partner.
• To allow me to determine if I can work through my process better apart than I can
in the relationship.
• To experience enough emotional distance so I can separate out my issues, which
have become convoluted and mixed up together with my partners’ issues in our
relationship.
• To provide an environment to help our relationship heal, transform, and evolve
into a more loving and healthy relationship.
