This chapter uses the metaphor of walking to explain how relationships require taking risks and making changes to overcome problems, emphasizing that when one partner is stuck with a problem, the other must continue growing and moving forward rather than remaining static, which may ultimately force the problem-affected partner to either change or be left behind.
The Road to Reconciliation describes a path towards healing and potential forgiveness for anyone in a relationship affected by selfishness, violence, abuse, addiction, or betrayal. It guides the reader (or podcast listener) on how to assess the damage done and recognize codependency and vindictiveness, blocking the way from injury to peace. It gives pragmatic advice on how to help you find safety, assert needs, apologize, make amends, and promote change.
