A focus on renewal in key relationships can be fruitful. Psychologist Ken Dychtwal discussed in a recent article how he and his wife (married in 1983) renew their vows every year on their wedding anniversary . . . . in a different place and set of circumstances each year. They view it as an annual remarriage where they evaluate their needs and commitments.
Revisiting original agreements to renew them is an enormously powerful antidote to the inertia that relationships of any kind can take on as years pass.
Think about your key romantic and business partnerships. Could you be well-served by an annual renewal of the principles of partnership? What kind of magic might that produce? How else can you access the power of renewal? Can this kind of renewal be useful and practical even in client and vendor relationships?
