As I talk with women about reconciling estranged relationships, I find a common theme that is an obstacle for them.

 Sometimes it’s on the part of the woman I am speaking with and sometimes it’s the person with whom they desire to reconcile.

 It’s a 5-letter word that keeps you stuck and its as common as peanut butter and jelly. Its name is Pride. I see it in many women I work with, and I’ve seen it show up in my own life all too often. It can be described as having disdain or little if any respect for another’s perspective.

 It can also be an unwillingness to admit any wrongdoing, whether it’s an action or an attitude. And left to itself, it is the #1 obstacle that will kill any chance of reconciling and restoring an estranged relationship.

 Now, I’m not casting any judgement here because I’ve had my share of pride and stubborn refusal to recognize and admit my part. And if you are serious about desiring reconciliation, you’ll want to stay tuned today.
